About SkinKandy Newmarket

An ear and body piercing studio on Broadway in Newmarket, serving people from Parnell, Remuera, Epsom, Grafton, Mount Eden and Greenlane. Piercings run from a first lobe piercing to a full body session, and starter jewellery is included. Upgrades come in 14k solid gold, implant grade titanium and surgical steel, from flatbacks to hoops. Two piercings from $80 as at 2026, plus the cost of the jewellery. The studio says it will fix a piercing for free if it is brought back within seven days with the aftercare card.

The studio says it uses single-use disposable tools and autoclaved equipment for each appointment, and cleans the space between clients. Booking is online, or walk-in when there is room. Under-18s need a parent or guardian, and anyone who looks under 25 may be asked for photo ID. Reviews are mixed. One reviewer got only very short answers when asking about a nipple piercing. Another arrived for a 10am appointment to find the shop closed. A third finds the staff cold when buying jewellery, though they have had a nose jewellery replacement done there.
