You need to be at least 18 years old to get a piercing without parental consent. If you are under 18, you will need your parent/ legal guardian consent & proof of a government issued ID.

Titanium is the preferred material for initial piercings because it’s an elemental metal – it doesn’t contain nickel. Titanium is as strong as steel, but as light as aluminum.

It does not corrode, does not tarnish, It does not react to sunlight, salt-water, or any body chemistry. It is totally non-allergenic. It is the perfect solution for sensitive bodies that have problems healing piercings.

Make sure you are hydrated and have eaten at least one meal. Low blood sugar could cause you to feel faint. Do not drink alcohol, take elicit substances or consume caffeine (coffee, energy drinks).

Our piercer is here to help you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout your experience. Our experienced staff will help you choose the jewellery best suited for you from our collection.

We will work together to determine the placement of of your piercing to ensure that you’re happy with its final destination.

It's easy:

1) WASH your hands thoroughly prior to cleaning or touching your piercing for any reason.

2) SALINE soak for five to ten minute 3 times PER day.

3) RINSE thoroughly after contact with water or soaps, to remove all traces of from the piercing. It is not necessary to rotate the jewelry through the piercing.

4) DRY by gently patting with clean, disposable paper.

Short answer - yes, Oral piercings are safe. There are many factors that can cause an oral piercing to become infected leading to complications during the healing process. Like any piercing you need to make sure you follow our piercing aftercare instructions to a T.

Properly fitted jewelry is also crucial to reduce risk of damage to oral structures like teeth and gums. Once the initial swelling has subsided, we encourage you to return to our studio to downsize your jewelry (get smaller jewelry).

Make sure you find a safe, clean studio who’s piercers use appropriate sterile, disposable instruments, ALWAYS.

We recommend you don’t. With all of the changes happening to your body, your immune system is all out of sorts during your pregnancy. Which means, longer healing times, higher risk of infection, which (though very rare) puts your unborn at risk.

Bottom line, if you are pregnant and itching for a piercing, wait. It’s not worth the risk, and we won’t take the appointment, nor will any other self respecting studio.

Believe it or not, Keloids are more common than you’d expect. Though they are primarily found in people of Black, Asian and Hispanic descent – that does not mean that they are exclusive to those races.

Keloids are a type of fibrous scar tissue that forms after an injury (like poking a hole through your skin) that unfortunately do not go away on their own. Keloids require treatment.

We recommend soaking your keloid in our Saline Solution three times a day. If that does not work, remove your piercing and let it heal. And if THAT doesn’t work seek medical attention.

Needle, no competition. Needles are cleaner, more accurate, and far less painful than guns. Their sharp hollow point creates a clean hole that allows the jewelry to rest, giving room for the wound to drain and to heal.

One of the biggest disadvantages of piercing with a gun is that; guns are reusable almost impossible to properly sanitize. They're made out of plastic, which means they can’t go in the autoclave (the machine we use to sterilize all of our tools) or it will ultimately melt to goop.

Once you are pierced with a needle it immediately gets disposed of, you will always be the first and last person to make skin to metal contact with that needle.

Call us. Oftentimes there is a simple cause and solution to an infection. Follow the instructions given to you in our aftercare to avoid getting an infection.

If your infection is minor, try following these steps:

1. Wash your hands before touching or cleaning your piercing.

2. Clean around the piercing with our Saline Solution (link to our store) three times a day.

3. DO NOT use alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, antibiotic ointments, or contact lens solution. These can further irritate the skin and slow the healing process.

4. Don’t remove or twist the piercing. This can cause the hole to close up and trap the infection.

5. Clean the piercing on both sides of your earlobe. Pat the area dry with a clean dry paper product. Do not use material that can leave behind fibres.

A rule of thumb around here is to not get more than 3-4 piercings (depending on if they are located at different parts of your body).

Getting multiple piercings can cause excess swelling during healing which will result in longer healing time.

There is no rush, we aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
