The Celebrity Piercing Guru With a London Pop-Up Worth Visiting This Week

The “tragus,” the “rook,” the “conch”: A new vernacular of vocabulary has been circulating amid fashion editors, street style stars and British It girls this week, as they discuss which body part to get pierced at a highly anticipated pop-up during London Fashion Week. Sparked, perhaps, by the carryover effect of Brooklyn’s booming piercing culture, or the sight of Givenchy’s elaborate lobe and septum rings on the fashion house’s Fall 2015 runway, the trend is now landing in London. But while its visual impact is immediate, its subtler nuances can be hard to get right. The jewelry needs to be delicate, the placement is key, and an expert eye is needed to make sure that the earrings sit ‘just so.’ So when it was announced that New York City–based piercer and jewelry designer Maria Tash—whose clients include Zoë Kravitz, Scarlett Johansson, and Gwyneth Paltrow—was doing a pop-up in Holland Park this week, a flurry of bookings immediately followed suit. Open for only four days at the Josh Wood Atelier in Holland Park, we suggest you start dialing now.
