Great experience for myself and my granddaughter. Relaxed, no rush and you can tell a real genuine interest in getting your piercing right. Lots of focus on flow up and after care.

Claire did my initial piercings

Claire did my initial piercings, and it was an excellent experience. The care provided on the day and afterward was fantastic. I highly suggest this place for those new to piercings!

Where do I start…

Where do I start…. You walk in and it’s luxurious from the minute you open the door. Clean, organised and very well set out. The staff!!! They were absolutely brilliant and such a laugh. I felt so comfortable from the second I walked in, the piercing was explained in great detail and I felt I learnt a lot about anatomy for piercings also. I had an Ashley piercing done and I love it. Beautiful range of jewellery and pricing was great too. Such an amazing place and will 100% be my go to from now on. Amazing place with the most amazing staff! Highly recommend going here. 🖤

Downsizing of nasal piercing

Went back in this morning to have downsizing of my latest nasal piercing and immediately Gregg is very welcoming and has great chat.
He's so knowledgeable and interesting and you feel very well looked after.
No hesitation in recommending Percus if you're thinking of having a piercing, or if like me you go for one thing then go back to have something else done 🙂

Best place to go for your piercings

Best place to go for your piercings!
Greg and Claire are always friendly and welcoming with loads of enthusiasm and knowledge. They take time to listen to what you want and advise on what jewellery fits best.
The shop itself is bright and modern and always immaculately clean. There is a brilliant range of products to suit different budgets.
Myself and my daughter are returning customers and can highly recommend Percus.

100% positive experience

We had a really positive experience at Percus when my older daughter got her ear lobes pierced two years ago (when it was in Cupar). So we didn't hesitate to go there again for my younger daughter to get hers done. Same great experience as last time. I felt really confident with every aspect of the service, especially hygiene. Claire was brilliant at talking us through the process, and at making my daughter feel at ease. She was really good at taking her time. We didn't feel rushed. She made sure we were all completely happy with the positioning of the piercing before going ahead. 100% positive experiences with both Gregg (first time) and Claire (this time). Highly recommend Percus.

Professional yet Approachable

Gregg made me feel really at ease, professional yet approachable. Clear knowledge and expertise in piercing. I could not recommend more! I love my piercings, the jewellery is beautiful and I will definitely be back for more!

Welcoming and professional

From seeing the shop ( so clean, bright, welcoming) to the information on the web page to the accessibility of the online booking the pre visit experience was good. Gave me confidence.
I was welcomed on arrival by Claire who was kind, knowledgeable, friendly and very professional. She helped me choose lovely studs. The procedure was no worse than getting blood taken for tests and just as hygienic and sterile. Since then ( 5 days now) I have had no pain, no swelling, no discomfort. I feel as if I’ve worn studs all my life.

PERCUS was spotlessly clean

PERCUS was spotlessly clean, and Claire was ace at putting me at ease. First piercing experience. I'm not going to lie, first nipple was sore, second oftt! It was something else. But after a few moments it's not so bad. Tongue was next, that was a walk in the park.

Beware all the extra costs.

Unfortunately not impressed. I have many piercings before, but wanted to look for somewhere in the area. So tried Percus.
The piercing itself went ok. But paying separately for each bar (£40 in my case) as well as then the cost of the piercing fee on top wasn't something I was prepared for. Then to be told I'd need to downsize in 6 weeks which would mean paying another £30 for new bars also not included in original fee. Then the aftercare solution is also not included, which in all my other experiences when getting piercings there's normally a small one given complimentary, or a small fee. Not £8.
There is a very small selection of jewellery in the shop, but hugely expensive. I went for the most basic & it was still so over priced. Unfortunately I'll not be back, & had I read a review like the one I'm writing, I'd have thought twice about coming for a piercing. There really was nothing luxury about the experience, other than the prices sadly.

Good Afternoon Hannah, Aww no! we are unhappy too....

We pride ourselves on suppling our clients with some of the best and safest jewellery within the industry, our jewellery meets the standards set out by the UK association of professional piercers (See their website), there is currently only 11 brands of jewellery worldwide that are verified to this exceptional quality. This is far better and beyond any requirements set out by law, ensuring you have the smoothest healing and least complications as possible. There are not many studios in the area that meet these standards.

Pricing wise, we really do try to be as transparent as possible; our service fees are set out on our booking page, with the minimum/cheapest jewellery prices (£20) stated on the service description whilst you can view most jewellery/prices on our online shop as well. Feel free to compare the jewellery on our online shop to any other studio stocking the same jewellery, our prices are fairly inline across the whole range with some even being cheaper... We also run through jewellery prices with you in person prior to filling in a consent form stating you are happy with the prices discussed.

Plain Labret studs should be charged at £20 each including the ball, if your bank/receipt shows these as £40 each as you mentioned please pop in, we will happily get to the bottom of that for you.

Downsizing is something that most ear piercings should have done no matter who pierced it. Initially, jewellery is longer to allow room for any swelling and once you're through these swelling stages, downsizing really does benefit the overall long term health of your piercing, although many piercers may not actually inform you of this. We only charge for the jewellery for this, our time, experience and multiple expense involved with this are completely free to our clients. This is not something we have to offer, we offer it because we care about piercings.

Real sorry your disappointed in our jewellery selection, we currently have 394 pieces on display with a back stock of over 2000 pieces. This is a little lower than we would like but unfortunately our renovation on St John Street went way over budget, our stock will re-build over time.

Regards

Perfect Experience

Thrilled to be one of the first customers at this stunning new piercing studio in Perth! Percus have relocated and expanded from their previous studio in Cupar. As soon as you walk in the door you are met with a lovely relaxing atmosphere. Couldn’t be happier with my nostril piercing done by Claire today…thanks so much! Friendly staff and super clean environment….all led to a very chilled piercing experience. Highly recommended…..I’m sure I’ll be back. Best of luck in your new premises!
