Can I get pierced with my own jewelry?
Can I get pierced with my own jewelry?
Unfortunately, no. We cannot guarantee the quality of the metals used for jewelry purchased outside of our studio.
If you previously purchased piercing jewelry from us, you will need to drop it off 24 hours before your appointment so we can properly clean, reprocess the piece and sterilize it safely for you so it is ready in time for your scheduled appointment.
Can I use numbing cream before my appointment?
Can I use numbing cream before my appointment?
Numbing cream only effects the first few layers of skin and will not penetrate deep enough to prevent you from feeling the process. Because it constricts the tissue in your ear, it lead to a crooked piercing. When numbed, we cannot guarantee the quality or placement of the piercing due to the distorted tissue. Unfortunately we would not perform the piercing if you come with number cream applied.
Can I get pierced if I'm pregnant?

What is 'downsize' and how much is it?
What is 'downsize' and how much is it?
Downsizing is the process of replacing the initial backing you were pierced with (as it usually has excess length to compensate for swelling), with one that is more fitted to your ear. This prevents movement and helps in the healing process. While not all piercings may require it, it can be beneficial to prevent snagging and discomfort from the longer post. Placements like flat or helix piercings, should be downsized in 4-6 weeks to be sure the piercing angle does not shift. Once your piercing has shifted angles it is very difficult, if not impossible, for it to straighten back out and usually requires removal of the piercing. Oral piercings also require downsizing to prevent tooth and gum damage.
Titanium posts are $15 each and gold varies between $60 to $100 each depending on the brand used.
