Alexina's Body Piercing Studio sits on Great South Road in Manurewa, opposite Ray White on the main road, and holds a 4.8 rating from 374 Google reviews — customers describe warm, gentle staff who explain every step and put nervous first-timers at ease.
A good piercing comes down to placement, technique and aftercare. Needle piercings, the standard at professional studios, are quicker and kinder to the tissue than piercing guns, which matters most for nose and cartilage work. Healing is the part people underestimate: a lobe settles in weeks, but a nostril can take months, and the routine stays simple — saline, clean hands, and leaving the jewellery alone. Regulars know to pick a piercer who checks your anatomy and agrees on placement before anything happens.
With its main-road spot in Manurewa, this is an easy, well-reviewed stop for South Aucklanders considering their next piercing.
