The Needle Lounge

30/05/2026

It’s time to say goodbye 💔

Rule for today, no crying. Rule I’ve already broken by 9am, I’m crying.

Opening these doors for the final time as The Needle Lounge is an emotion I didn’t know I would or could feel but I’m sat in the middle of the salon, ready for a crazy busy day knowing this isn’t our home anymore after today.

This little salon has been the birth of me as a person, a business and a brand for the past almost 3yrs. A girl with a dream is leaving as a woman with a dream accomplished. I’d be an absolute blubbering mess if this meant the end, instead it means the beginning.

I am so lucky that throughout the past 4yrs, I have made some incredible memories along the way in Whitchurch. Made amazing new friends, shared stories and heard life stories. I’ve listened, learnt and been guided by all of them. Faces I’ll never forget and bonds that can never be broken. And the most amazing thing about that? That’s all because of piercings. All of those is simply down to the trust people have put in me and expressing themselves via body art, for that, I’ll never come close to being able to thank you all enough.

I’ll be on and off being emotional all day, maybe all week or month but today is about embracing it all.

Next week we open! And I only have 3pm and 3:30 left before my first day at 19 Mardol is fully booked!

Firstly, I hope everyone is having an amazing half term/extended bank holiday so far BUT remaining safe! Four teenagers have died from drowning this bank holiday and that is anyone’s worst nightmare come true. Stay safe, stay hydrated and make some memories ☀️

Secondly, messages have been crazy this weekend and I intend to get back to everyone by the end of the night. Pop me a message if I haven’t replied so you’re top of the list!

Thirdly, I am open tomorrow, Friday and then Saturday is our final day knowing and loving The Needle Lounge as it is! There’s a million and one things to be done in just over a week but we are a power team, so we’ve got this! 💪🏻

💚I’ll never get tired of looking at Moss Agate and this beautiful stone is set in a Zircon Gold Titanium Crystal Eclipse. I’m confident knowing this will be a popular favourite from June.

Honestly, just want to say such a big thank you to all the comments, people popping in, people stopping to read everything in the windows and the well wishers of local companies. I’ve been at Mardol all day today and kept having little pinch me moments due to the sheer volume of people stopping, asking and enquiring. The response has been phenomenal so far.

Today has been full of my builder doing building things, me filling in everywhere ready for sanding and painting tomorrow evening. A quick dash around some shops with my bestfriend to pick the flooring and between me, Charl and the builder we all agreed on the most perfect flooring 😍

✨16 days to go! ✨

✨Fun fact…

See that really pretty photo of jewellery that you’ve seen pop up on insta or facebook? Just understand that it took the person behind the camera at least 75 photos later to get just ONE photo that they mentally approve!

Black and Gold is super in trend at the moment. And I love the colour black and only wear gold or zircon jewellery so it’s only fair that I make them they’re only exclusive area on the new display, right? Right! Because of this, I will have numerous options to pick from whether you love the look of Gold with Zircon Titanium or whether you want the most beautiful 14ct Gold and Black ring from , I’ve got you covered to match your budget but still creating those dreams 🖤

It wasn’t even 10:30am, as I turned right on to Mardol this morning the visions of how I wanted the new shop to be were right in front of me and had come to life!

The comments we’ve already had this morning saying how good the shop is looking is just so overwhelming and supportive by the local shops around us.

The sky’s not a limit, it’s a view ♥️

✨Happy National Piercing Day!✨

A day where Professional Body Piercers all give ourselves a clap for helping people express themselves via body art, feel pride that we can help people feel more confident in themselves and feel deep satisfaction that we produce the piercings that you’ve had inside your head bringing that dream in to a reality.

What you can see pictured is what we all, unanimously want. The most perfectly healed piercing. A hole so perfect healed inside that we can see through the anatomy, a looking hole in to what dedication, safe piercing, safe healing and patience looks like. To us and to you. Achieved via F136 Titanium for my client to ensure she had the safest healing.

So if your piercing looks like this or you’re dedicated to trusting the process, give yourself a clap as well! This is our combined aim, always. Which is why I’m only ever a message away to help you achieve this dream, whether I pierced you or not.

I hope you’ve all had an amazing Saturday ♥️

Regardless of the weather, if you can make it out today to Jubilee Park to show some support for local businesses then that would be incredible! You’ll also see a familiar face with Becky from Becky Sparkle there to make everything glittery and sparkly!

I close TWO WEEKS today, how is this coming round so quickly!? The salon is starting to look empty too which is setting in the realisation that I’m actually doing this!
