Tis the season of love, and nothing quite says love like a matching nipple piercing at the London Dungeon, right? Well, to celebrate Valentine’s Day, the ooky spooky attraction is about to play cupid for some lucky Londoners, giving 10 soulmates the chance to solidify their love with the rather unique commitment of matching nipple piercings.
This alternative date night activity, taking place on Saturday 10 February, is rooted in Victorian history. Nipple rings were once all the rage in the late 1800s, so it could be the perfect date for you if you’re a fan of the heinous and obscene.
Back in Victorian London, certain aristocrats would keep a cheeky little secret underneath their corsets and clothes–pierced bosoms. It’s said that the aristocratic communities across Europe were keen on the practice due to the ever-growing interest in extravagant fashion. And with trend cycles changing at a rapid pace, as well as vintage fashion taking over, why not take part in this unique and fun way to celebrate Valentine’s Day?
Ten lucky lovers and friends will win the chance to win free, matching nipple piercings, by renowned piercer to the stars Metal Morphosis, who owns one of the most famous studios in the city, visited by celebrities like Naomi Cambell and Millie Bobbie Brown. As well as a free piercing, those chosen will also get free tickets to the London Dungeon.
If you’ve never been or don’t know what to expect, the London Dungeon is one of the city’s most popular attractions, exploring our history in a frightfully different way from your standard museum. The horror-themed favourite allows you to explore London throughout history through interactive shows, scenes, and rides.
A London Dungeon spokesperson said: “This Valentine’s season, guests are invited to beautify their bosoms in the name of love and pleasure. Forget lavish restaurants and red roses, why not instead ‘nip’ on down to the depths of the London Dungeon for a nipple piercing – the perfect gift to bond you and your soulmate, be they friend or partner, for life!”
