If you’re worried about your piercing please contact us and call into the studio as soon as you can. It’s imperative our piercer takes a look if you have any doubt.

In most cases you can, however it’s best to pop into the shop so our piercer can have a look. If it’s a recent piercing that you took out which has only just closed up, it’s recommended to wait at least 4 weeks prior to re-piercing.

Potentially, yes. If a piercing becomes infected it is usually down to the person not following the aftercare guidelines they have been given. Our piercer will briefly explain and go through the aftercare with you initially, and we also automatically send our aftercare information via email once you fill out our Consent Form/Waiver.

We only use needle blades. It is not recommended to use a piercing gun. A piercing needle is the better option, for many reasons. Needles are cleaner, more accurate, and less painful than guns. The healing process is also a lot better when a needle is used.

The needles are one use only.  All jewellery, needle blades and utensils are sterilized and packaged on a daily basis.

Our piercer will advise you of the healing time for your particular piercing however the process can vary from person to person.

If you change your jewellery before your piercing has completely healed, this could potentially re-open the piercing wound. By doing so, this will affect your healing process and will require you to follow your aftercare more thoroughly to prevent any possible infection. You can also irritate your new piercing by changing the jewellery, even if you take special care. If you are still keen to change your jewellery then we advise you wait until after the piercing is no longer tender to touch.

The majority of piercings can be done if you are age 16+. This excludes Dermal, Surface, Bridge and Nipple, for these you must be 18 or over. If you are under the age of 18 and wish to get one of these piercings listed, you must have your parent or legal guardian with you in the shop to give consent.

We use only implant grade titanium, and we also have nickel free Gold options, 14k or 18k, both are optimal for healing.
