Surgical piercings from ₩8,000 in Songpa, Seoul: Simkung Piercing

Just like you want to switch up your hairstyle when the seasons change, you start craving a change in accessories too! I go to Simkung Piercing pretty often for piercing shopping, and today I wanted to share my review of Simkung Piercing Jamsil.

Simkung Piercing Jamsil: location and opening hours

Simkung Piercing Jamsil

You might worry it's hard to find since it's inside Jamsil Underground Shopping Center, but it's right near the entrance, so you'll spot it easily!

How to walk there from Jamsil Station

Once you go down the stairs to Line 2's Jamsil Underground Shopping Center, look for Paris Baguette first! It's right next to the stairs, so it's easy to spot.

Right across from Paris Baguette there's a clothing shop called 'Junian,' and two shops over from that is Simkung Piercing Jamsil.

How many piercing designs does Simkung Piercing Jamsil carry?

From the moment I stepped into Simkung Piercing Jamsil, I was excited to see such a huge variety of piercings!!

Wow!! I've been to plenty of other piercing shops, but this was the first one I'd seen with this many piercings.

Countless times I've gone to a piercing shop hoping to buy a new design, only to leave empty-handed because nothing caught my eye. But here at Simkung Piercing Jamsil, there were so many designs I liked that just browsing was fun — and deciding wasn't easy at all.

Not all the pretty piercings made it into the footage, but let me give you a little taste.

Why the color and design displays made choosing easy

What I loved about Simkung Piercing Jamsil is that the piercings are displayed by color, and within each color category, similar designs are grouped together too.

That made it much easier to find the exact design I wanted, or narrow down a few favorites out of so many options.

From classic basic designs to trendy kitty designs and leopard patterns, the range of piercings is really impressive. There were plenty of designs I'd never seen at other shops or even online. With such a wide selection, I lost track of time browsing and deciding!!

Beyond surgical steel: the silver and 14k lines

So many pretty designs, right !!! Everything so far was surgical steel, but the silver and 14k piercings come in a huge variety too.

And if you tell the staff which design or color you're into, they kindly help you find it.

The 14k line also has cubic, pearl, and drop designs, so pretty much whatever design you want, they probably have it! haha And beyond earrings and piercings, Simkung Piercing Jamsil basically has every kind of accessory — necklaces, rings, and even bracelets.

How much do piercings cost at Simkung Piercing Jamsil?

Surgical piercings at Simkung Piercing Jamsil run ₩8,000 to ₩15,000, so it's super affordable to buy several at once. You'll really lose track of time browsing and can grab multiple pieces you love. It was great being able to buy accessories at reasonable prices!

Same-day piercing and an instant swap after purchase

Simkung Piercing Jamsil also offers same-day piercing service !! They thoroughly sanitize the piercing site and jewelry, and help you stay calm and comfortable so it doesn't hurt.

If you're unsure about placement or design, the staff are happy to help you decide. This time I just came to shop without getting a new piercing, but if you want, they'll swap in your new piece right after purchase — I'd definitely recommend that! It's much cleaner and more hygienic having staff help swap it than doing it yourself, and it lowers the risk of irritation afterward.

The review event running at Simkung Piercing Jamsil

Simkung Piercing Jamsil is also running a review event right now. The piercings given out for the review event weren't cheap throwaway pieces at all — they were genuinely pretty designs!!

From now on, whenever I want to swap my piercings, I don't think I'll bother going anywhere else — I'll just come to Simkung Piercing Jamsil. I've never seen a place with this much variety!!
