General FAQ
Walk-ins are welcome everyday for most piercings. Dermal implants
require an appointment. For the best experience, especially for
custom work or specific jewelry requests, we recommend reaching out
via Instagram to schedule.
Age requirements vary by piercing type: 4 months and up for
earlobes, 14 and up for body and inner ear piercings with a parent
or legal guardian, and 18 and up for all piercings. Minors need
parental consent and a parent/guardian present with ID.
All forms of payment. We accept cash, all major credit cards, and
digital payments. Payment is required at the time of service.
Yes, but it must be at least 14k gold with the 14k stamp on it and
it must be a proper length. We'll inspect it during your
consultation to ensure it's safe for wear.
Get a good night's sleep, eat a light meal beforehand, and avoid
alcohol. Wear comfortable, loose clothing that gives access to the
piercing area. Bring proper ID or documentation showing age or legal
guardianship.
Before Your Visit
Piercing Questions
Pain tolerance varies from person to person. Most clients describe
it as a quick, sharp pinch that subsides rapidly. We use quality
techniques to minimize discomfort and make the experience as smooth
as possible.
Most standard piercings take just a few minutes. More complex
placements or custom work may take longer. Plan for about 15-30
minutes total including consultation and aftercare instructions.
Dermal implants are anchored beneath the skin with a single entry
point, creating a "floating" look. Surface piercings sit on top of
the skin with two entry points. Dermal implants are more stable and
often heal better in high-movement areas.
Yes! Many clients get multiple piercings in one visit. We can
typically do 2-4 piercings depending on placement and complexity.
Discuss your goals during consultation and we'll create a plan that
works for you.
We use implant-grade titanium, solid gold (14k-18k), and surgical
steel for fresh piercings. These materials are biocompatible and
minimize the risk of irritation or allergic reaction.
Healing & Care
Aftercare Questions
Healing times vary by placement: Earlobe piercings heal in 6-8
weeks, cartilage piercings take 2-12 months, body piercings can take
3-6 months, and dermal implants may take 6-12 months. Proper
aftercare is essential for healthy healing.
Clean 3-4 times a day with a piercing aftercare saline spray and 1-2
times a day with an antibacterial soap, non-scented with no added
dyes. Avoid touching the piercing with dirty hands. Don't rotate or
move the jewelry excessively. We'll provide detailed aftercare
instructions before your piercing.
Avoid swimming in pools, hot tubs, lakes, or oceans for at least 2-4
weeks. Don't use alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or harsh soaps on the
piercing. Avoid tight clothing that hug the area and resist the urge
to touch or play with your jewelry.
Some redness and swelling is normal in the first few days. However,
persistent redness, increasing pain, warmth, discharge, or foul odor
may indicate infection. Contact us or seek medical attention if
symptoms worsen or persist beyond a week.
No! Changing jewelry too early can cause damage, irritation, or even
close the piercing. Wait until your piercer confirms it's fully
healed. Once healed, you're welcome to schedule a jewelry change
appointment with us.
Specialty Services
Teeth Gems & Shoe Customization
No, when applied correctly by a professional, teeth gems do not
damage your teeth. We use dental-grade adhesive that bonds to the
enamel surface without drilling or causing permanent changes. The
gem can be safely removed at any time.
With proper care, teeth gems typically last 6-12 months. The
longevity depends on placement location, eating habits, and oral
hygiene. Gems on the inner surfaces tend to last longer than
front-facing placements.
Absolutely! We love working with client's personal footwear. We can
also help source shoes if you don't have a specific pair in mind. A
consultation will help determine the best approach for your vision.
Turnaround time varies by complexity. Simple designs may take 1-2
weeks, while elaborate custom work can take 3-4 weeks. We'll give
you an estimated timeline during your consultation.

Every client's needs are different. Jewelry preferences vary widely
in price, and some placements require more expertise and time than
others. Pricing varies with jewelry options—basic studs to premium
gold and gemstone pieces all affect the final cost. We prefer to
give accurate quotes in person rather than misleading estimates
online.
This is a starting price. If you choose premium jewelry (gold,
gemstones, etc.), the price will increase accordingly. We always
discuss pricing before any service begins.
Base piercing prices start as low as $15 for earlobes. Cartilage and
facial piercings start at $40, dermal implants start at $50, teeth
gems start at $65, and shoe customization starts at $75. These are
starting rates—final pricing depends on jewelry selection and
placement complexity. Visit us in store for an accurate quote.
