NOON -Body Customisation Studio (Tokyo)

NOON is a body piercing shop I stopped in by in Utagawa-cho. They do practically everything when it comes to body customization, so if you're in Tokyo and feel like it, drop by there! It's about a 10 minute or so walk from Shibuya station. Take the Hachiko exit, and actually, you probably won't see the Hachiko statue as it's usually surrounded by a crowd of teenagers waiting for their friends. What you will immediately see is the big Starbucks and the famous Shibuya pedestrian crossroad. Take the road just on the left of the Starbucks, towards the huge pink HMV billboard. This road is called Center-gai. It's a shopping arcade with many shops, people and very noisy.

Just keep going straight, you'll see this stuff. A Pachinko(Gambling/Game center) on your left. You'll see the bookstore "Book Off" up ahead.

After a few short blocks, you should come to a dead-end at the "Outback Steakhouse" restaurant. At this point, cross the small street towards Outback Steakhouse and take a right from there. You'll be at NOON shortly.

Go straight for about half a block and cross a small street again towards the yellow "REAL BLACK MUSIC! SAM's" sign. NOON is in that brick building.

If you look up, you'll see NOON's sign. The studio is on the 4th floor, just take the elevator.

From the elevator, take a left and go around this corner. To your right will be NOON's Body Customisation Studio.


Oh, and they don't open until past noon! Anyway, I'll be back there a few more times, they do an excellent job, professional, experienced and safe!
