Laura Bond's Taylor Swift Weekend Special

Laura Bond, the renowned piercing parlour located in the heart of Edinburgh, is paying homage to pop sensation Taylor Swift on the weekend of her Edinburgh concerts by hosting themed events with an exclusive offering of Taylor Swift-themed piercings, Thursday 6th-Sunday 9th of June.

Coinciding with the billboard-topping performer’s highly anticipated performances in the capital, the previously dubbed ‘UK’s prettiest piercing parlour’ will be fulfilling the ‘Wildest Dreams’ of fans heading to the Scottish capital. Across the weekend, shoppers will be ‘Enchanted’ to find Taylor Swift-themed parties complete with luxury friendship bracelets and carefully curated collections of ‘Delicate’ piercings themed around numerous ERAs – specific periods of Taylor’s life, and the themes of her albums.

A self-professed ‘Swiftie’, Laura Bond, Founder and Creative Director, said: "I've been a fan of Taylor Swift since my early twenties, her albums have been the soundtrack to all the important moments in my life, from my wedding to the birth of my son. I'm 40 this year and managed to get tickets to see her in Edinburgh as part of my birthday celebrations with some of my best friends. I'm beyond excited and wanted to mark her first concerts in Edinburgh in the best way I know how – a piercing party. Piercings are such a fantastic way to express your individuality, make a statement, or even mark a moment or milestone. Taylor Swift coming to Scotland should be no different.”

In addition to exclusively playing Taylor Swift’s songs all weekend – and staff dressing up in Eras-inspired attire – fans can consider their friendship bracelets upgraded. Limited Edition luxury friendship bracelets made from precious crystals, produced by local artisan jewellery brand Fika, will be available to purchase all weekend.

And of course, Taylor Swift fans will be able to get an Eras Tour-inspired piercing; the pièce de résistance to any ‘EAR-a’ themed concert outfit. Attendees will be able to create their very own 'bejewelled' ear stacks with: snakes for ‘Reputation’; butterflies and pink opals for ‘Lover’; stars and moons for ‘Midnights’; and vine garlands for ‘Folklore’ and ‘Evermore’.

After so many missing out on tickets to the concerts, Laura Bond is ensuring that no fan is left behind:

"I want to throw the sparkliest, most empowering Taylor-style party possible; we'll have friendship bracelets, glitter artists and jewellery and piercings inspired by her best-loved songs. We'll be playing her music exclusively all weekend and dressing up as her Eras. Even if you didn't get a ticket, come and party with us. Our clients’ ages range from teenagers to individuals in their sixties and seventies, meaning that all Taylor-lovers are welcome!"
