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 (numbing spray) available at £5, so there is nothing to worry about.

Yes we can use solid 9ct Gold studs, however the clasp part is gold plated due to gold being a fairly soft metal and not strong enough to make a clasp. The stud and the stem that goes through the lobe/cartilage is solid 9ct gold.

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

Children must be aware that touching the ear lobe after the piercing could put gems onto the lobe and cause an infection. Please ensure your child understands this and does not touch their piercing.

Pierced cartilage is more difficult to heal so extra care should be taken.

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 (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.

A Tongue piercing can also change position as the tongue is a muscle. So over time you may find the piercing moves.

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 if not straight away. Book Now.
