Meet Our Piercers
Maria Hurloi, Body Piercer
When I joined Portsmouth Ink as a semi-permanent makeup artist, I never imagined I'd become a piercer, but I seized the opportunity to learn. Now, I love meeting new and returning clients in our Cosham studio. Each person has their own piercing journey, and I always feel privileged to be trusted with such an important part of their story. Creating piercings and matching jewellery to personalities, there's nothing better than seeing someone leave with a big smile!

Your safety matters most at Portsmouth Ink. Our studio is fully licensed, run in a spotless, sterile environment with strict single-use only policy for all needles and equipment. We follow intensive sterilisation protocols, and all materials are professional grade.

No matter your taste, we'll help you find specialist jewellery that highlights your individuality, comfort, and style.

Caring for your new piercing is crucial for a healthy, beautiful result. We'll guide you on how to keep your piercing clean using gentle saline solution, and explain typical healing times for ear and body piercings.
