What should I bring the day I want to come?

You will need a government issued ID with your picture and your date of birth on it. A minor will need to be accompanied by a legal parent or guardian, and the legal parent or guardian will need a government issued ID in order to sign for them. Please make sure that you eat before coming in!

How do you pierce?

We will use individually packaged and sterilized hollow needles to pierce you. We pierce everything by hand to ensure sterilization, accuracy and efficiency. The piercing will be performed in a sterile environment and everything is disposed of immediately after the piercing is finished.

How long will it take for my piercings to heal?

Healing times will vary from person to person and that will all be discussed during your visit. A great way for us to make sure that you’re healing well is to stop by and downsize you’re jewelry! Normally we can downsize after about 4-6 weeks but if your piercing is not ready we will recommend waiting a little longer. We always use a longer piece of jewelry to start with to accommodate for the swelling (which is a very normal part of the process) and we strongly recommend downsizing the jewelry to prevent excessive movement, snagging, shifting, etc.

Can I get pierced with my own jewelry that I bring in?

We do not pierce with outside jewelry, but have plenty of different jewelry options to choose from. I try to incorporate new styles once every couple of weeks so there’s always something new to look at! Once your piercing is healed we can replace it with your jewelry. Jewelry changes are fifteen dollars.

Do you pierce kids?

We pierce ages 8 and up! If you’re planning on bringing in your little one to get a piercing, I strongly recommend watching a video with them so they can see how the piercing process will go.  Make sure you pre watch the video to make sure it’s not going to scare them! Come with a list of questions that you want to ask if you have any. This can calm their nerves a little bit. I would also make sure that you let them know that it WILL be a little uncomfortable, but they are fully capable of being brave and getting through it. Piercings are scary to grown adults, so it has to be scary to them! Kids often get really excited to get their ears pierced, and if they don’t understand that it may be a little uncomfortable, they will feel discouraged or really nervous about the second one. If your child goes through the first piercing and cannot handle the next one that day, we will tell you to come back when they are ready. Please do not pressure them when they are not ready.

How fast is the piercing?

The actually piercing part will only take about a second to do. Prepping the skin and marking the placement normally takes longer than the whole piercing procedure, jewelry included.

Do you offer jewelry changes?

Do I need an appointment?

All piercings are done on a walk in basis, so there is no option to book an appointment. To avoid wait times, consider coming during the week. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are normally our busiest days. All piercings and jewelry are first come first serve and we will stop accepting walk ins about an hour before we close.

Can I bring a friend?

Absolutely! A friend or two is totally okay during your piercing procedure. We prefer if you could leave younger kids and babies at home, but we understand if that is not an option for you. Because we have biohazard waste in our piercing room, it’s important that if you do bring your younger kids that they stay still and refrain from touching things.

What jewelry do you pierce with?

We start everything off with an internally threaded or threadless titanium piece of jewelry. All of our stud options have a flat back post and you have the option of using a titanium internally threaded top or a threadless 14k yellow gold top. All piercings come with a basic titanium jewelry option included. The reason why titanium is so highly recommended is because Titanium doesn’t contain any nickel, unlike surgical steel, which makes it safe for people with sensitive skin or a nickel allergy. We can special order 14k gold posts or barbells if necessary, but anticipate a wait and an up charge.
