Children’s ear piercing near the Trafford Centre
A private, needle-only piercing appointment near the Trafford Centre.

For Trafford families
A calmer first piercing,
away from the counter.
If you are comparing piercing options around the Trafford Centre, Little Viper offers a different kind of experience: a dedicated appointment in a private piercing room, carried out by an experienced professional piercer rather than on the shop floor.
Our Irlam studio is west of the Trafford Centre, with free parking directly beside the entrance and no time limit—useful when you do not want your child’s appointment squeezed between shopping plans.
Little Viper appointments take place inside The Viper Pit, a fully licensed tattoo and piercing studio at 84 Liverpool Road, Irlam. Chris is DBS checked, has 15 years’ professional piercing experience and works in a private room with one family at a time.
