Howdy! A jolly warm welcome to you as you browse my official website!
Silly Sausage Piercing was established in the summer of 2018, over the last 5 years I have worked relentlessly in expanding my knowledge & skill in order to provide you with the best possible service & care when it comes to body piercing, in a safe & hygienic environment.
I pride myself on being truly dedicated to each and every one of my trusting clients, I am a piercer who will never pierce you if I do not believe it is safe to do so and I will be here with you and for you every step of the way throughout your healing journey.
Body piercing is an ever changing industry, to keep up to date with the latest standards I attend annual seminars when possible and partake in certified online courses/webinars to further expand my knowledge, resulting in the ability to provide you with a piercing service that is tailored to you and your gloriously unique anatomy.
I am super honoured to work alongside UK stockist Qualiti Body Jewellery as a sponsored artist with my own jewellery collection, the ‘Moxie Collection’. Hit the sponsored artist button at the top of my page to read more about myself as a piercer and my collaboration with Qualiti!
I am a private & booking based piercer.
This enables me to deliver more of a personal & thorough service to my clients without any interruptions.
I am based in an all female, vegan studio called The Loft Tattoo, found on Week Street in Maidstone town. Check out the FAQ section for more information.
Thank you ever so much for reading, without further ado, scroll away and enjoy your visit here on the official Silly Sausage Piercing website!
Please reach me at piercingsbypops@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
The jewellery I work with is ASTM:F 135 implant grade titanium, either internally threaded or threadless.
This is a wonderfully safe material due to its resistance to attack by body fluids.
It is nickel free and hypo-allergenic.
Titanium weighs much less than steel, yet is three times as strong.
Being suitably strong and lightweight, implant grade titanium is top-notch for both fresh piercings and healed piercings!
All my jewellery stockists are approved and comply with strict guidelines.
I am committed to giving my clients the best service I possibly can, especially on the jewellery front.
I do not offer numbing. Numbing creams & freeze sprays make the tissue contract. The tissue relaxes when the freeze/numb wears off, a piercing that has been numbed or frozen can often end up crooked or too deep.
I can assure you that you do not need to be numb! The process is over in a simple inhale and exhale. Wiggle your toes! I play soothing music in my room for you to focus on, I have flavoured glucose tablets at the ready for you to enjoy after your piercing too! Its never as bad as your brain makes out it’s going to be (natural response) and you’ll be chuffed with the results! You’ve got this, I promise!
I recommend you wait until after your holiday to get your piercing.
High temperatures can cause more swelling, and you’ll be strongly advised to skip out on swimming in the pools or treating yourself to a hot tub & sauna session.
Enjoy your holiday and get your fresh piercing once you’ve returned revived & happy!
yes, you will need an appointment for all piercing services with me.
This includes check ups and jewellery makeovers.
I prefer to be appointment based as I find it easier to work from a schedule.
Booking in allows me to dedicate my time solely to you and your needs throughout the duration of your appointed time slot!
You can bring ONE other person with you, but please do not turn up in a gaggle of multiple people.
It’s just not that kind of studio.
Your plus one will have to wait in reception as my piercing room isn’t massive and I find it distracting to have too many people in my room whilst I work.
But I promise you’ll be just fine, I’ll take great care of you!
No. Each piercing I perform is done so using brand new, sterilised jewellery from a reputable stockist.
I will not use anything purchased outside of the studio.
However, there are heaps of beautiful pieces available in house for you to purchase at the time of your appointment, for fresh and healed piercings!
Take a peek at my jewellery collection for inspiration.
You have full access to my aftercare sheet on this website! It includes DO’S, DONT’S & more FAQ’S. If in doubt or if something doesn’t make sense, don’t hesitate to drop me an email via my contact form at the bottom of this site ❤️
Heck yeah I do! These can be purchased from me in store or online at any time of the year, I can post them out or you can collect them from the studio.
These gift cards can be any amount you desire, and are redeemable against piercings, jewellery and aftercare! Please read the T&C’s of my gift vouchers before purchasing one from my online store.
You will find me in the Loft Tattoo Studio, located on Maidstone high street.
You will find the doorway & stairs to the studio directly opposite McDonald’s, between Adams Barbers and Star Burger.

I accept cash or card payments including Apple & Google payments.
I will prep the area I am about to pierce using an alcohol wipe or two and iodine. I will then go ahead and mark you up using a sterile cocktail stick and gentian violet ink, have you check my mark-up to ensure you’re happy with the planned placement and then we’ll hit the next stage which is the physical piercing!
I choose to perform most of my piercings freehand for greater precision and control of the tissue.
I will use clamps for sites such as the Septum, Tongue & Lobes. I will use receiving tubes for sites such as Rook, Daith, Forward Helix and Nostril.
I pierce using blade needles from Thats The Point UK, or Mosquito cannula needles (for piercings such as a nostril, rook, daith or septum where the cannula is helpful to transfer the jewellery).
I use non-sterile gloves to prep, and then swap to sterile gloves for the piercing.
I will tell you to take a nice deep breath in, and upon exhaling you’ll feel a wee sharpness to the area followed by warmth! Then once the piercing process is over I’ll treat you to a relieving saline cool down. It’s the best part. This soothes the area that has undergone the piercing process, as well as wipes away any left over ink, iodine or bleeds. .
Then your beautiful new adornment is all yours to see, enjoy and flaunt!
You’ll then have the option to nibble on a tasty vegan & gluten free glucose treat after the procedure to rebalance your sugars if the adrenaline rush leaves you feeling a little woozy.
Titanium anodising is an electrolytic finishing process that changes the surface colour of the titanium piece via electric current. Colour options are gold, rose gold, pink, purple, blurple, light blue, dark blue, teal, green, and bronze.
This is a 100% safe and none toxic way of jazzing up your jewellery.
Irritation bumps (granulomas) are quite common even though they can be unsightly!
The good news is, so long as you’ve caught it early, it isn’t a keloid. Granulomas manifest into a keloid when nothing has been done to tackle it in the first place.
Irritation bumps are usually caused by trauma to the piercing such as catching it, whacking it or sleeping on it.
A great way to help tackle your irritation bump is with a hot compress. I advise using a pure chamomile tea bag as a hot compress! Steep the tea bag into hot water, give it a squeeze, when it’s as warm you can stand simply hold it on the area until it goes stone cold. Do this once a day for a week or so and you should notice the bump visibly reduce.
Legal, in date, government issued photographic ID must be brought to your appointment regardless of your age. You’ll be required to complete a consent form which is a legally binding document at the time of your appointment and proof of your ID is attached to this. My consent forms are fully inclusive and have a section where you can declare your chosen names & pronouns ❤️
NO ID = NO PIERCING = CANCELLATION FEE CHARGE.
