Piercing FAQ’s

  • Everyones pain tolerance is different, but most piercings feel like a quick pinch. We’re always gentle and will talk you through it so you feel calm and prepared.

  • Piercing guns can cause unnecessary trauma to the tissue and increase the risk of infection. We use sterile, single use needles, which are more hygienic and allow the piercing to heal better.

  • Healing times vary depending on the area:

    • Earlobes: 6-8 weeks

    • Cartilage: 3-6 months

    • Nose: 2-4 months

    • Navel: 6-12 months

    • Nipple: 6-12 months

    We’ll give you detailed aftercare instructions and are always here if you have questions.
