Will it hurt?

A lot of our clients say it doesn't hurt at all. Some say it feels like a small pinch. Everyone feels pain differently so it can vary from person to person. We do have anesthetic available, so there is nothing to worry about.

Will it become infected?

All our jewllery is fully sterilized using an ultrazonic and an autoclave to ensure each item is completely sterile. A new sterile needle is used for each client, this is opened in front of you from it's sealed sterile packet. By following our aftercare advice and keeping the piercing clean, you shouldn't encounter any problems.

Will it grow out?

Occasionally surface piercings are difficult to heal, because, as the body rejects the body jewelry as a foreign object, the jewelry is pushed to the surface, causing the piercing to grow out or also called rejection. Proper placement and jewelry selection by an experienced body piercer can help alleviate this problem. A well done surface piercing can last anywhere between 3 months and several years. This differs from person to person.

Do I need to make an appointment or can I just call in?

We have several piercers that we keep available for walk-ins. You are welcome to make an appointment if you wish, or just call in and we can usually get you in fairly quickly.
