We often write about scams and stuff, and enjoyed this short YouTube TED lecture:

Piercing
If you are in London and fancy a new piercing, then you have a lot of choices for places to go.
There are many in Camden, some in central London, suitably expensive and touristy, and many more out in the Greater London area.
For no reason other than we think they are good, we recommend Edyta Lydon at London Blue Lady Tattoo and Piercing. Dita and her staff are wonderful.

You can get there from Angel station. It’s a five minute walk.
If you want something exotic, they will probably do it (well, I’ve asked for exotic things and never been disappointed) and advise what is best. They do walk in for piercings, but can get busy so if you need something complicated, contact them beforehand to check it can be done and when is a quiet time.
Cash is preferred. Prices are not central London and are good value.
