We extensively test and research all services we review. Here's why you can trust us.

My best friend got her nose pierced last month. While it looked amazing at first, things went south fast when the piercing got infected due to the jewelry provided by the studio—ouch!

Turns out, picking the wrong studio can cost you more than just a bad experience. It’s important to find a safe, clean, and professional piercing spot that knows its stuff. 

For those ready to rock a new look (without the drama), here are Toronto’s best body piercing studios that guarantee style, safety, and total confidence!

How much do body piercings cost in Toronto?

Body piercing costs in Toronto typically range from $40 to $120, depending on the type of piercing and the jewelry you choose. 
Basic options like earlobe piercings are often on the lower end, while more intricate spots like septum or industrial piercings can cost more. 
Many studios also include aftercare kits or charge extra for high-end jewelry, so it’s worth checking before booking.

OPERATING HOURSMon - Sun: 12 PM – 12 AM

MY Ink is not your average piercing and tattoo studio; they aim to help you express yourself fully through art that truly means something to you.

The studio is led by Mengni Yang, who worked in visual effects for Framestore—the Oscar-winning studio behind Disney and Marvel hits. Oh, and she also holds a master’s degree in medicine and acupuncture.

Booking an appointment is pretty straightforward, though you’ll need to put down a non-refundable deposit of $22.60 (don’t worry, it’s deducted from your final cost).

As for body piercing options, they offer a wide range—from belly buttons to dermal implants, and even more specialized options like genital piercings. 

We like that they use only top-tier tools and materials, including single-use sterile equipment and implant-grade metals. Plus, their sterilization practices are next-level, thanks to autoclave and ultrasonic cleaners. 

However, despite having scheduled appointments, many customers report long waits before getting started. 

Pros

  • Led by someone with solid credentials
  • Easy online appointment booking
  • Wide range of body piercing options
  • Uses single-use sterile equipment and implant-grade metals
  • Has autoclave and ultrasonic cleaners

Cons

  • Non-refundable deposit
  • Long wait times

Gold Hollow offers a safe and welcoming space for body piercing, custom tattoos, and high-quality implant-grade jewelry. They’re dedicated to making sure every piercing or project is as unique as the person wearing it.

The studio is led by Gina, the Head Piercer. Originally from London, she’s also part of the Junipurr jewelry design team, crafting pieces for ear curation projects and more. 

We like that they welcome walk-ins when they’re not fully booked—a nice touch for those spur-of-the-moment piercing ideas. 

And their jewelry pricing is refreshingly affordable compared to other studios. Basic implant-grade titanium starts at $40-$60, gemmed pieces begin at $65, and their luxe 14k solid gold options range from $110 and up. 

Piercing fees are separate, ranging from $50-$100, depending on the type of piercing you choose.

It’s worth noting that some customers have reported abrupt cancellations.

  • Welcomes walk-ins if not fully booked

The dream studio for all your piercing needs

“I love my piercers and tattoo artists at Gold Hollow! I’ve been working on my ear scaping with Gina & Tee slowly but surely to get me to my dream decked out ear. From cleanliness to knowledge they are the dream studio for all your piercing needs. They will work with you to curate your perfect ear stack. Their studio also houses a ton of beautiful products and pieces to deck your piercings out with – Gina especially has worked in this space a long time and is very knowledgeable and able to help source /help create your dream pieces if you collaborate with her. Tee is amazing – attention to detail, check ins with Gina and her communication style just makes the process of being pierced feel so light and easy!”

We appreciate the fact that they perform bi-weekly spore tests on their autoclaves to make sure everything is properly sterilized, with additional testing from a third party. 

The shop also carries a wide range of body jewelry, fashion accessories, and shop-branded gear. In fact, they’ve recently added solid gold piercing jewelry to their collection, which you can browse online or check out in-store.

Very professional and kind the entire time

“So happy with the warm and kind hearted employees! I went in for a belly button piercing, and I was very nervous as it was my first piercing other than my earlobe. However I was quickly comforted by an employee named Gemini who did my piercing, as she talked me through the whole process, put any worries at ease, and was happy to answer any questions. The employees were very professional and kind the entire time, highly recommend!!”

CONTACT DETAILS(416) 259-9361
OPERATING HOURSMon - Sat: 11 AM – 7 PM

Exotix Studios has earned a reputation as Toronto’s first and only body piercing specialty studio since it opened in 2002. It’s owned by Six, who’s been piercing since 1998, and he was even voted NOW Magazine’s Best Body Piercer in 2016!

He specializes in nipple, genital, and microdermal piercings. And his studio offers private piercing rooms, which we think is pretty cool.

When it comes to jewelry, they use only titanium and gold for initial piercings. In fact, they’re the only studio in Toronto to exclusively offer these materials for initial piercings. 

They even do all of their anodizing in-house for titanium pieces.

If you’re looking to upgrade your jewelry, Exotix also carries an impressive selection of artisan pieces in materials like brass, copper, stone, and glass. High-end brands like BVLA, Maya Jewelry, and Diablo Organics are available, too.

One thing to consider is their premium price tag. 

Pros

  • Toronto’s first and only body piercing specialty studio
  • Over 20 years of experience
  • Voted NOW Magazine’s Best Body Piercer in 2016
  • Specializes in nipple, genital, and microdermal piercings
  • Has private piercing rooms

Cons

  • Pricey

Hands down the best piercing studio in Toronto & the GTA

“This is hands down the best piercing studio in Toronto & the GTA. I’ve been here a few times and I wouldn’t recommend going anywhere else to get your piercings done. Look no further, Six, Lindsay & Aisling always provide unparalleled customer service and a memorable experience. Their expertise in the field of body art & jewelry is invaluable not to mention the craftsmanship of the BVLA pieces they stock is absolutely mesmerizing. You guys are the best!!!”

Hassan Abdolzahraei, Google Review

I’ve done my piercings here twice with Six, the best tbh

“I’ve done my piercings here twice with Six, the best tbh. I’ve done piercings elsewhere and none of them compared with how quick and painless Six is with his craft. I did my rook and conch here on 2 separate occasions and never have any issue with the piercings. Healed beautifully and did I say it was quick and painless? Booked my appointment online and got a reply back very promptly. The studio is clean, everyone is very friendly and I feel very comfortable. I love that they carry BVLA and they were so kind to offer shipping any jewelry to me since I was leaving the country. I already miss this studio! If I have a chance to come back, I’ll find an excuse to get another piercing by Six again :)”
