Great energy! Piercing - Quick, painless and well informed from minute one!
Five stars for Dwane and the team! They are fantastic, energetic people who run a very clean and professional shop. The piercing process was seamless, and the detailed aftercare advice and follow-up message were a great touch. Definitely the place to go.
Dwane made me feel very comfortable during my nipple piercing procedure. It was done very professionally, I felt no pain and no side effects after the piercing. Thank you for the wonderful service 😀.
Got my tragus pierced by Dwane about 3 weeks ago. No pain at all. Piercing is healing well. Dwane explains everything and checks in later as well for any issues or concerns. Definitely would recommend getting your piercings done by him.
Great service, Dwane is highly recommended and awesome. He makes the process very comfortable. Thanks a mil
Clean studio, super friendly staff. They explained all the aftercare clearly and I felt comfortable from start to finish. Quick and professional — will be back!
Dwane was professional and very helpful. Got my belly pierced again and he got it on the exact same spot as I previously had it years ago. Looks brand new and healing well. Thanks Dwane.
I’m actually obsessed 😭✨ Had the best experience getting my piercings done, everything was super clean, professional, and just such a comfortable vibe from start to finish. I felt completely at ease the whole time. Dwane was honestly awesome, he made me feel so at ease, even while I was being a full-on chatterbox 😂 Healing has been amazing so far (no issues at all), and I was given really clear aftercare instructions which I’ve been following. 10/10 patient over here 😂 Honestly such a confidence boost, I’m so happy with how they turned out 🤍 highly, highly recommend!
Hi guys please go see Dwane I done my nipple piercings by him I love them so much I not once had pain in the session and even now the aftercare is so so much better thank you so much I will definitely come again to you..
We LOVE Jade and his team! My mum and daughter both go to them for piercings and the experience is always amazing. Super professional, incredibly clean, and they make everyone feel at ease. Their follow-up care and check-ins are next level, and they’re so helpful when it comes to choosing the right placement and jewellery. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Dwane is so knowledgable. He gave great advise about piercing location according to individual ear anatomy. Piercing experience was quick and results have been excellent. We highly recommend his studio.
Will highly recommend Modified Monkey for any of your piercing requirements. My 16yr old daughter wanted a bellybutton piercing as her birthday gift, which I very reluctantly agreed to. As a parent I had a lot of questions and concerns, but Dwane was amazing. He met with us for a consultation where he was extremely professional, answering all my questions and gave us advise and reassurances regarding the type of piercing that would best suit her, the process, the recovery and maintenance. Thank you Dwane for everything, you definitely helped me “the concern parent” through this and I’m very happy with the outcome. 🌸🙏🏼
I've waited over 2 years to find a reputable body piercer and finally found them, it's Modified Monkey. What an absolute pleasure, clean, hygienic, informative and absolutely great customer service. Took both my daughter's for their piercings, no bruising, no swelling, clean and amazing 😍 absolutely amazing and highly recommended 10/10
The most amazing place to get your piercings done. It was my first time and I was so nervous but the people there are so lovely and made me feel extremely calm
Had a great experience for my first time getting piercings ever. All my questions were answered and the process of piercing went quite well would recommend.
I went to Modified Monkey to buy new jewellery for my nose piercing after my old jewellery had fallen out. Dwane was incredibly helpful and very professional. The piercing site had shrunk a bit and Dwane was able to fit my new jewellry with minimal discomfort. All in all, it was a great experience and by far one of the best experiences I've had with a body piercer. I'll definitely be going back. (Also, all of their jewellery is made from titanium and is very affordable in comparison to their competitors.)
I have been to Dwane three times and he is by far the best, most informative piercing artist I have come across in JHB. He won't pierce without discussing if it's the right option for you. I highly recommend his services.
Hello to everyone scoping out the reviews! I’m here to say this is the only one you need😌 I had such an amazing experience, My piercer Dwayne was so kind and accommodating, he moved around the placement of my piercing and gave me all different options on how we could place it, some I didn’t know I could ask for! I walked out feeling amazing and as though I’ve made a new best friend! 11/10 experience. I will be making my way back soon😝😊
Had a great experience. Went to change jewellery on sensitive piercings and ended up needing to also re-Pierce my nose. Duane was very professional, the shop is in a great location and my overall experience was excellent.
Dwayne from Modified Monkey recently pierced my daughter’s conch and it really was the most fantastic experience! She wasn’t sure what she wanted and was very nervous and Dwayne reassured her at every turn and talked her through exactly what piercings he would recommend and why. He is so knowledgeable and professional, seriously one of the best we have ever been to. When it came time for the piercing, he kept her calm with his dad jokes 😂 and he was the ultimate pro! She was still waiting for the prick when he told her it was over! His jewellery is stunning, his studio is a chilled vibe, his expertise was awesome, and it was just a super cool experience all round! 100 percent will be coming back!
I got my belly peirced by Dwane a couple days ago, and I highly recommend going to him for your next peircing. He's extremely friendly and I was very nervous as I have a fear of needles and he made sure I felt comfortable the entire time. I've never had such a wonderful experience with peircers, he made sure to take his time and make sure everything was done properly. He spend time measuring which I really appreciate and the process was completely painless. Even now, the peircing barely hurts and there's no swelling at all. Dwane is extremely professional and he was making jokes the whole time to ease my fear. I will 100% be going to him again for any future peircings
Had thee best experience at Modified Monkey! Dwane was amazing! Super professional but also SO much fun! His energy, patience and experience made the whole process really enjoyable. I went in for a new ear curation on both ears as well as a new daith piercing and I am beyond obsessed with how it all turned out! The studio had a great vibe, and the jewellery selection was truly top notch. Cannot wait for my next piercing. Would 100% recommend!
Highly recommend Dwane. He did my nose ring. He was funny, kind and professional and took me through the process from start to finish. He made me feel so comfortable and the after care after the piercing was just amazing!
If you are reading this, this is your sign to go and get pierced at Modified Monkey. 10000\10. My piercer, Dwane is the best I've gone to. Its rare that I find a studio where advanced piercings are available in Gauteng. So I did my research and I found a reputable piercing studio (Modified Monkey) I made a booking for nipple piercings and a VCH piercing on their website. I then recieved an immediate response when I messeged on Whatsapp. Upon confirming Dwane sent a file informaing me how to come prepared for my appointment. At each step I felt safe and in good hands. When I arrived at the studio, Alex opened up (Thank you, Alex). All the staff are proffesional, friendly and always willing to answer any questions you may have. Now This is important! The environment of the studio is clean and sterile. I felt comfortable and safe as much as I was excited to get my piercings. Dwane is great! He knows what he doing. He checked my anatomy properly before going ahead with the piercings. He also made sure to have jewelry options ready that fit my style. I felt calm throughout and before I knew it the piercings were done. Dwane then gave aftercare instructions before I proceeded with payment. Best day ever! I left Modified Monkey feeling great and now my piercings are healing up well. Thank You, Dwane and team.
They are literally the most amazing place ever They are so kind and helpful They take you through every step of the way Amazing atmosphere
Superb service by the one of most knowledgeable & capable piercers in the industry. Great selection of jewelry with a phenomenal vibe! Always a pleasure to share a moment with Dwane - never a chore Thanks for always hooking up the styles!! If you're considering going to Modified Monkey, don't think... JUST GO
Had an amazing experience, all staff were very kind and helpful. Montanna ensured everything was perfect and took her time to ensure a beautiful end result with my piercing.
I went to get my helix done for my sweet 16th, I was assisted by Dwane. He was very cheerful and helped ease my anxiety with his jokes. There was hardly any pain and very little blood. So far it has countine to be basically painless. It was an overall very good experience!!
i got a daith piercing. super good experience. super quick and easy. i felt very comfortable even tho it was my first cartilage piercing. definitely will be going back
I recently got additional piercings on my ears and the experience was really great. Thanks to Montanna for making sure I was comfortable and providing all the necessary details before during and after. That really helped making the whole process smooth 🙌🏾
Got my eyebrow piercing done by Montanna. She was super sweet and gentle, and took her time to make sure the placement was correct ✨
I had such a great time with Dwane! He was super friendly with an awesome energy that made the whole experience feel easy. He explained each step as he went, and to my surprise the daith piercing wasn’t painful at all. The aftercare instructions were also super thorough and helpful. Highly recommend going to him!
I'd highly recommend Montanna! I went with a specific plan, but Montanna spoke to me about different options that would suit me, and I went ahead with a conch piercing. She's very knowledgeable and her enthusiasm for her craft is uplifting. My piercing is healing really well, absolutely no issues.
Was chilled, clean and welcoming Montanna made me feel super comfortable in getting the piercing and she was amazing at hearing my concerns and still making it 🔥 Can’t wait to go back and get some more done
Incredible experience with Dwane this morning piercing my conch and tragus. From the moment I entered the studio I was greeted by such warmth and friendliness. Dwane is a total expert and his advise on what is possible and not for the shape of my ears and best healing outcome was invaluable! I'm so happy with my styled ear and custom jewels. 10/10 experience, I'll be back soon and recommending to everyone
I had a 2nd lobe piercing done and had a great experience. Montanna, the piercer, was professional and the procedure was done quickly with minimal pain. Will be coming back for any future piercings.
Montana was very professional as well as warm. She made me feel very comfortable. The whole experience was lovely and my piercing is healing beautifully.
Modified Monkey is amazing! The people there are so friendly and inviting, and make you feel very safe and comfortable. If your nervous to get any piercings done, they explain everything to you and make you feel reassured that you are in good hands. 🩷😊
Montanna was amazing!!! She answered all our questions and gave me advise on which piercing to get. She explained everything she was doing during the piercing process.
My belly piercing came out amazing! They were super nice and the lady that did my piercing was patient with me🩶
It was an amazing experience! The place is very clean and the staff are professional. They clearly explained the aftercare instructions, and my cheek piercing turned out beautiful and is healing perfectly. Thank you
Had a nose piercing done by Montanna it was quick, painless and professional. Thank you I love your work

Really helpful and the best place to go if you want a piercing very good
My daughter had her nose piercing and lobe piercing done last week. Very professional. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. Healing has been pretty quick and we even had Dwane follow up. 😁 How does it get better than this?
Dwane did a Dath piercing for me about 2 months ago. Great Experience was quick professional and it was painless. Also gave all the aftercare information right there and then. 10/10 would recommend.
Dwane is such a professional at what he does, I wouldn’t recommend anyone else! Hardly any pain and lots of laughter is what you get when you get your piercings done with Dwane
Dwane is brilliant. Professional, patient and gives brilliant advice! my experience was great and I will be back!
I was so nervous about getting my nose pierced but Dwane was very professional and made me feel a lot more relaxed. He gave me clear guidance on how to take care of the piercing and I'm so happy with it! thinking of getting some ear piercing done too.
Dwane is just absolutely fantastic. Very professional,friendly and definitely makes a person feel so comfortable.
Dwane is really professional and efficient. He explained everything beforehand and afterwards gave clear instructions for wound care. My piercing looks great. I couldn't be happier.
A pleasant experience having Dwane do my daith piercing, much laughter in between and would highly recommended his services for any piercing. Super Hygienic and very professional in his trade. Thanks a million Dwane once again.
Dwane provided excellent service with a smile 😁 clear instructions for cleaning my piercing and even came back to the shop, one day to assist me once he had already knocked off. I would recommend Modified Monkey to anyone looking for a piercing parlour
Dwane is the best, will definately go to him first before anyone else. great experience.
Dwane did my daughter's tragus piercing, no pain, it healed really well and Dwane followed up to see how the healing process was going. Super happy with the experience, thank you!
Had the most wonderful experience with Modified Monkey. Dwane is so professional, very friendly and knows exactly what he is doing. He took his time to ensure that my piercings were perfect and that I was happy with them as well. He makes a person feel very at ease 🤗. I had 6 piercings done at once and they are healing wonderfully. I haven't had any problems at all. Highly recommend them. Found my piercing human for life. 😬🤘❤️
They were so professional, quick and painless piercing i had. Would definetly recommend this place to everyone.
Amazing and professional piercer. Healing time non existant cause I didn't even feel like I have been pierced. For someone that is mega shy he made me feel so comfortable
Thank you Dwane for the piercings! You are an expert at piercing, no matter the complexity and your service is great. Always a pleasure visiting you all!
Dwane was so professional and helpful! He helped me decide what will work best with my face and ears... He made me feel so relaxed and I hardly felt the piercing it self. After care communication and check up just shows real customer care!
Dwane is really professional, offers lots of advice and is really knowledgeable in his trade. will definitely go back!
From helix to conch to tragus, we have the piercing for you.

Piercing studio etiquette… the stuff nobody really tells you. 👀 Some of these might sound obvious. Some definitely aren’t. 😅 From keeping things sterile, to respecting other clients’ space, to not turning the piercing room into a full family reunion — there’s usually a reason behind the madness. A good studio experience works both ways. Good communication, good prep, and a little awareness go a long way.

Defined curve. Natural flow. 🖤 A contra conch placed to follow the ear’s anatomy — allowing the jewellery to sit exactly where it should, without forcing it. • Contra Conch – Petal Drift (3 marquise leaf) • Implant grade titanium • Placed for balance, comfort, and long-term wear When placement respects anatomy, everything else falls into place. 📍 Modified Monkey – inside @jadedink_ 📲 WhatsApp: 084 600 5263 🌐 www.modifiedmonkey.co.za Pierce it.

Bold placement. Subtle integration. 🖤 Dermals placed to sit naturally within the artwork — not compete with it. We’ve had a steady run of dermals coming through lately… this one stands out. After an in-depth discussion with @tanyahamse around the risks of placing dermals in a higher impact area, we made the call to proceed with full awareness and intention. Tanya is no stranger to piercings and understands the healing process well — which always makes a difference in outcomes like this. • Paired dermals – positioned to align with the eye detail • Implant grade titanium • Placed and sized with long-term stability in mind Not every placement is about symmetry — sometimes it’s about reading the canvas properly. 📍 Modified Monkey – inside @jadedink_ 📲 WhatsApp: 084 600 5263 🌐 www.modifiedmonkey.co.za Pierce it.

Clean. Balanced. Intentional. 🖤 Paired lower back dermals, placed to sit evenly and flow naturally with the body.

Clean, considered, and built around the anatomy ✨ @tanyahamse conch wasn’t suited for a traditional placement — so we worked slightly higher to make it sit just right. • Custom conch placement • 3 Blaze — Black CZ (Eggplant anodised) • Implant-grade titanium (ASTM F-136) • Precision placement for long-term comfort & healing Not every ear plays by the rules… so we don’t either 😉 📍 We are located inside @jadedink_ 📲 Call/WhatsApp: 084 600 5263 🌐 www.modifiedmonkey.co.za #conchpiercing #bodypiercing #titaniumjewellery #piercingstudio #earpiercing
Fresh ✨ and flowing in gold @jayedeedanielle18 popped in for a full upgrade — and we built this one around that daith. Everything else just flows off it 👌 • Daith — Regal Arc • Tragus — Lumière Drop • 1st Lobe — Aurora Loop • 2nd Lobe — Marquise Whisper All done in implant-grade titanium with Gold PVD ✨ Nothing overworked here — just a really solid setup that fits her ear properly and will wear beautifully.

We placed a high second lobe (traditional third position) to allow space for larger statement pieces in the first hole — keeping everything balanced and wearable. To finish it off, we added a helix rim piercing with a touch of movement. • High Lobe (3rd placement) – 3mm prong set CZ top • Helix Rim – Lunar Drop curved top with CZ dangle • Implant grade titanium jewellery Every placement is carefully considered to suit both anatomy and personal style. 📍 Modified Monkey – @jadedink_ 📲 WhatsApp: 084 600 5263 🌐 www.modifiedmonkey.co.za Pierce it.
