'We wanted to create a safe and welcoming space, especially for the Queer community, and somewhere that's open and free.'
The owners of a body piercing studio in South Belfast are aiming to provide a welcoming and safe space for the city's LGBT+ community.
"We wanted to create a safe and welcoming space, especially for the Queer community, and somewhere that's open and free. With a keen eye, Rebecca is focused on making sure your piercing is exactly how you imagined it would be. "All of those previous clients have followed me into the new business, which is really nice, and I think they feel much more at ease.
"I've always wanted to set up my own piercing studio and David was a cafe manager so we were looking to create a space where we could both do that and merge together," Rebecca explained. "We have quite a range of Pride jewellery and I've noticed a lot of people who haven't come out yet, maybe come in for their piercing and pick a rainbow item," Rebecca added.
