Ink: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Owner is very friendly and bubbly. Gf went for a tooth gem and was very happy with the result.
Fantastic experience: I was absolutely terrified to get my piercing today but immediately felt calm as soon as Megan started talking to me! She is an absolutey amazing human and helped me get through my piercing experience:) i 100% recommend this piercing shop, the staff are absolutely amazing, i felt super safe and supported there! thank you for an amazing experience :D
Fantastic experience: Just had two tooth gems done by Megan, she was so sweet and knowledgeable that made me feel at ease which is amazing since I’ve never had gems on my teeth before and didn’t know what to expect. :)
Fantastic experience: I’ve just started my second sleeve my first is a full marvel villains on the top the hero’s on my fore arm. But my second sleeve is covering up a old tribal sleeve I can’t wait for my next day session
Fantastic experience: Went in for two piercings and such an incredible warming place! Super friendly staff. I was looked after so well I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will 100% be going back! Thank you so much guys.
Fantastic experience: Friendly and clean with plenty of choice.
Fantastic experience: Megan is so so friendly and my eyebrow piercing was done with so much professionalism, could not recommend highly enough for piercings!
Fantastic experience: I’ve had multiple appointments now to see megan, for tooth gems. Every time has been awesome! Such a lovely lady who ensures your well looked after and have a great experience every time, couldn’t recommend more :)
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing piercer, Megan was so chill and talked me through my nipple piercings. I was very relaxed and she really knows what she is doing. 11/10 would recommend every time.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Megan for two years and every single experience I've had with her has been absolutely wonderful! She makes you feel so welcome and I always look forward to seeing her. The fact I only had my first ear lobe piercings done before going to Ink and now I have 2nds, 3rds, 3 helixes, a daith, a nostril and a septum (all done by Megan!) is a testament to how enjoyable she manages to make a needle being stuck into you be! I honestly couldn't recommend her enough.
Fantastic experience: The embodiment of 5 star customer care, Megan is class and always helpful, looking after clients during and post appointment!
Fantastic experience: Megan’s been my piercer for around 4 now, one of the best! Wouldn’t go elsewhere!
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience getting pierced by Megan. She made it super relaxed and comfortable and answered any questions I had. Super friendly too!
Negative experience: Very sad about my piercings :( Whilst I was actually getting my piercings done, the experience was great. They were super friendly and made me feel at ease. However, the piercer kept commenting on how small my belly button was yet proceeded with a normal piercing anyway. After a long time of pain and not healing, my piercing started rejecting (after migrating to look really wonky). I had cared for it really well with consistent cleaning. Having gone to get my piercing redone today, I was told I have the wrong anatomy for normal belly piercing jewellery since my belly button is too small! They said it would most likely lead to rejection and that they could tell from my scarring that it rejected previously. They said it should never have been pierced with that jewellery originally :( I also got a cartilage piercing at ink and it got so infected within a week of piercing. I emailed about this and they said it wasn't infected if it wasn't bleeding (even though it was full of pus). I then went to the doctors (because I couldn't move my head without it really throbbing and it was about twice the size of my other ear) who said it was very infected and required antibiotics. After these two experiences I don't trust their judgements anymore, and I recommend that you research your anatomy if you still want to get pierced here!
Fantastic experience: Great place to get piercings. Megans lovely, couldnt wish for anything better.
Fantastic experience: Megan pierced my nose this week and she is fabulous. I was quite nervous and she made me feel totally at ease immediately. She was kind and so professional. No pain (my eyes did water a bit) and no bleeding. Excellent aftercare advice and no issues at all so far. She came on a recommendation from a friend and I would not hesitate recommend myself also.
Fantastic experience: Good for piercings
Fantastic experience: Megan is the best and my go-to piercer. Would never go anywhere else. All my piercings by her have been done so well! She is extremely friendly and if you're nervous, she would put you at ease right away.
Fantastic experience: I’ve had a few piercings done here now, Megan is THE kindest soul. I was so nervous at first but was made to feel so comfortable, I’ve had re-piercings, curated ear designs and advice on any trouble I’ve had. Could not recommend enough, and has the cutest jewellery around. Megan ur an angel fank u! Xxx
Fantastic experience: Got my seconds pierced here over a week ago and they were amazing, She was very chatty and it was a helpful distraction!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place!!! I’ve come here multiple times for tattoos with Abbi (which have all been amazing and healed beautifully, she takes such pride in her work and is very knowledgeable in her after care) however this time I went for a piercing with Meg! She was very kind, chatty, comforting and incredibly patient with me and gave me lots of after care advice! She truly made the whole experience very calm ! I’d recommend these girls always for tattoos (Abbi) and piercings (Meg) they r the best and kindest in Exeter they make anyone feel comfortable and welcomed

Fantastic experience: Can’t express enough how amazing my experience of getting my piercings done with Megan was!! I knew they were going to hurt, but Megan made me feel so comfortable. I had my consultation where she explained everything and answered all my questions, and just put my mind at ease. When the day came, she was so so lovely and gave me all the time in the world. Abi was amazing once i came out and felt a little funny, she chatted to me for a while and took my mind off it all! I came today for my bars to be changed and i just can’t say enough how amazing she is. It was a pleasure to have Megan as my piercer and wouldn’t go to anyone else in the future!! If you’re thinking about it, do it! Xxx
Fantastic experience: Awesome staff make you feel very welcome. Love going there
Fantastic experience: I have been to Megan for a few ear piercings now and she is smashing! She's friendly, funny and thoughtful and will ask how you'd prefer to be punctured (countdown, keep talking, etc.). She is helpful with aftercare and just generally brilliant. Wouldn't get holes from anyone else! Highly recommend Also, the shop is awesome, and Abi seems great too!
Fantastic experience: Loved our experience at Ink! Megan is brilliant and super-diligent, my friend and I had a lovely time there. Highly recommended to everyone!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to both Megan and Abi for a couple of years now. They are both amazing at their chosen careers. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants an excellent, friendly, professional piercer or tattooist. I would never go anywhere else for my piercings and tattoos now that I have found Ink.
Fantastic experience: First ever tattoo at age 73 lol, Abby was fantastic
Fantastic experience: I had my nose pierced by Megan recently and it was such a lovely experience. She's super bubbly and kind, and obviously really knows what she's doing. Can't recommend Ink highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience! We went as a group of three with nose piercings, seconds and thirds and Megan got them done in a flash. Such a lovely experience.

Fantastic experience: Loved coming to get my piercings done. Wonderful staff, and Megan was a superstar.

Couldn’t thank you enough xx
Fantastic experience: After 18 years since my last piercing I decided to get the industrial piercing. I was a little nervous so I had my friend come with me as moral support.
