Eclipse Piercing is basically my go to spot for anything sharp that I willingly let stab me. But more than that, this place is like the holy ground of unforgettable, slightly chaotic, and hilarious moments with my friends
Let’s talk about B, who decided to get her Western Pier tattoo there. Nothing says nostalgia than getting a tattoo of the pier that burned to the ground. Because yeah, what better way to commemorate Brighton than with a permanent reminder of something that literally collapsed into the sea? Gotta love the commitment to disaster, though. Nothing says “Brighton” quite like having a tribute to ruins on your skin haha

Now, F’s nose piercing… oh man, that’s gross haha If you’ve never witnessed someone’s soul leave their body for half a second, you need to see this video. It was mine, not theirs. I’ve never seen someone’s face go from “I’ve got this” to “I think I’ve made a huge mistake” so quickly. The needle goes in, and suddenly they’re questioning all of life’s choices. Don’t worry though, F survived, and now we’ve got an absolute gem of a video to laugh at forever
Eclipse, man. They should hand out medals for making it through their doors. The staff are legends though, cool as ice, like they’ve seen every possible reaction, from fainting to full-on existential crises. They just smile and nod like, “Another day, another scream.”
Honestly, if you’re in Brighton and feeling brave (or, you know, slightly masochistic hahaha), Eclipse is the place to be. Whether you’re after a tattoo of something that burned down, or you just want to experience a moment where time stops mid-piercing, this place has you covered. Just, uh, maybe don’t film your own piercing unless you want to question your existence afterward
