Researched for Piercing studios in Telford
Sole Trader
The Studios, Mansell Road, Wellington, Shropshire, TF1 1QQ · Service area: Telford, Wellington
Muse & Me in short
Muse & Me is a piercing, permanent make-up and fine-line tattoo studio at The Studios on Mansell Road in Wellington, run by owner Kirby, and our judgement is that the single pair of hands is the appeal. Muse & Me offers seven years at the needle beside a beauty business running since twenty sixteen, all from one private studio. Booking runs through the studio's own page with weekday and Saturday hours on show.
The Google record we hold gives Muse & Me 5.0 from 160 reviews, the deepest review base in this round. Our review finds the gaps are paperwork and pricing: no insurance details are published, and council registration and prices go unstated on the studio's page. Published availability is the consolation.
On services, the studio lists piercing beside permanent make-up and fine-line tattoos, all from owner Kirby at The Studios on Mansell Road in Wellington. Everything runs by booking through the studio's own page, with weekday and Saturday hours published so availability is visible up front. The listed area covers Telford and Wellington, which suits the north of the borough.
The customer evidence is the strongest headline in the round for volume: a Google record of 5.0 from 160 reviews, the deepest base we hold and a joint-top rating. No second platform sits in the held evidence, so the whole signal comes from one place. Our judgement is that this is the review record every rival is measured against, with the paperwork gaps sitting separately.

Questions about Muse & Me
Is Muse & Me any good?
On the evidence, yes for private piercing, permanent make-up or fine-line tattoos: it holds 5.0 from 160 Google reviews, works from one pair of hands in a private Wellington studio, and takes bookings through its own page. The gaps are paperwork: no insurance detail, no prices and no stated council registration. Read the full review and its sources, then check availability on the booking page.
Is Muse & Me registered with the council?
Council registration can't be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked. Telford & Wrekin requires every piercing operator and premises to register, so ask the studio how it is registered and look for the certificate on display. You can also contact the council to confirm the name is on the roll. Settle this before you agree anything.
What does Muse & Me charge?
No prices, rates or VAT terms are published on the studio's booking page. That means your quote does the talking: name the exact piercing and the jewellery you have in mind, and ask for the full price with the metal named. Confirm whether aftercare and any check-up sit inside the fee. Get the agreed figure before the needle comes out.
How is Muse & Me ranked?
It carries no score in this round: only the one studio that met all three basic requirements was assessed, and this studio sits in the researched-but-not-assessed group for want of stated council registration. Its customer record is the deepest in the round all the same. If you run the studio, use the Claim a listing route to send the missing detail for the next round.
Which areas does Muse & Me cover?
The studio works from The Studios on Mansell Road in Wellington, and its listed area covers Telford and Wellington. That suits the north of the borough, with bookings through the studio's own page rather than by phone. If you travel from the south of the borough, weigh the journey against the private one-to-one format. Check availability on the booking page before you travel.
How do I get a quote from Muse & Me?
No prices sit on the studio's booking page, so the enquiry does the talking. Book through the page and name the exact piercing with the jewellery you have in mind. Ask for the full price with the metal named, and whether aftercare and any check-up sit inside the fee. The page shows weekday and Saturday availability, so agree the figure before you take the slot.
What do the reviews say about Muse & Me?
The held Google record reads 5.0 from 160 reviews, the deepest base in the round with a joint-top headline. The held evidence gives the headline without quoted client detail, so read a spread of recent reviews yourself, looking for visits like the one you plan. Treat the volume as genuine depth, and the missing paperwork as a separate question.
How does Muse & Me compare with the others in this round?
It carries no score for want of stated council registration, yet its review record leads the round on both rating and volume. The assessed studio, Hello Beautiful, wins on paperwork with stated registration, stated cover and published prices. Our judgement is that this is the customers-against-paperwork choice of the round. Read both cards before you decide.
