Consultations.

Free and confidential consultations are available upon request. We insist on a face-to-face consultation for custom piercing work and all body modification work. These consultations consist of a walk-through of the procedure, you can see the equipment that will be used on request and discuss the jewellery options. This is a good opportunity to ask questions that you may forget about on the day of getting the procedure done.

Piercing Academy.

Are you ready to take piercing seriously? At Blackout Tattoo Academy, we’re offering an exclusive opportunity to train with one of the best in the industry through our intensive 3-week Piercing Course — designed for those with talent, drive, and the discipline to excel.

This is not a course for everyone. We are highly selective, accepting only a small number of students who meet our standards and show real potential. If you’re accepted, you’ll be stepping into a premium training environment led by Simone, our lead instructor and expert piercer with over 20 years of experience. Originally from South Africa, Simone brings a wealth of global knowledge, surgical-level precision, and an uncompromising commitment to quality and safety. She has been piercing in busy London studios for many years, bringing professionalism and precision to clients from all over the world.

The course focuses on standard piercings (excluding dermals and genital piercings) and delivers hands-on training, real-world scenarios, and professional guidance every step of the way. You won’t just leave with skills — you’ll leave with a mindset shaped by one of the most respected names in the field.

Graduating from this program could open doors across our five established studios located in York, Ingleby Barwick, Durham, Middlesbrough, and more. For those who prove themselves, this is the beginning of a real career path — not just a certificate.

The course fee is £2000, but entry is by selection only. If you’re ready to stand out and be mentored by the best, apply now and show us you’re cut out for it.
