Lola Slider, Owner and Piercer at Forest Piercing
Forest Piercing is owned and operated by Piercing Art specialist Lola (She/Her/Hers)
Lola has been piercing professionally since 2010. While based permanently in Glasgow, Lola has travelled around the world as a professional piercing artist and a piercing educator, teaching classes for industry professionals at non-profit events sine 2017. In addition to her work as piercing artist Lola has also served as Medical Liaison for the United Kingdom Association of Professional Piercers (2019-2020) and as President of the UKAPP (2020-2021). In addition to UKAPP membership, Lola is also a member of the international Association of Professional Piercers (APP) and has been since 2016. Not content with being Scotlands only APP registered piercer, Lola set out to open Scotlands first APP piercing studio in the winter of 2019. As many of you may recall, early 2020 wasn’t exactly the most amazing time to have just opened a business, but with support from our amazing client base, a big dream and a boat load of determination we pulled through and have been able to continue our journey to provide world class piercing services right here in Glasgow. Lola designed Forest to be a real haven for piercing lovers, with an ever evolving curated collection of jewellery from the best brands in the world, combined with the education and skill to provide an industry leading service.

Hey everyone, I'm Jordan! (He/Him/His)
I'm a Junior Piercer at Forest Piercing. I began working as a counter associate in September 2021 and I began my piercing apprenticeship in October 2022. I’m an associate member of the UK Association of Professional Piercers, I’m a First Aider, trained in blood borne pathogen safety and I can also help you find the jewellery you’re looking for! If you’d like to be pierced by me, you can save 10% when you book with “Junior Piercer” option, or 25% when you book for a “Discounted Piercing”.
I’m originally from the Highlands and now based in Edinburgh with my partner and two lovely dogs Atreyu and Nova. At home I love gaming but I also love getting out. Whether it's windsurfing, Kayaking or skateboarding, I'm always up for giving something a try!
I've been into piercings since I was a teenager. When I was a kid, we used to go on trips to the city and I would see people with their different piercings and styles and I was always thought it was really cool! When I was 16 I joined the army but when I left, the first thing I did was get my piercings back, and I started to feel like myself again. Knowing how impactful piercings are to me and how happier I am in myself with them than without, I’m so proud and excited to have the opportunity to be involved in other people's piercing journeys at Forest - See you there!
