Yes it’s by appointment only as we only have one piercer that can do infant piercings. If you plan on bring your own jewelry we must inspect the jewelry and sterilize. This process takes time so come 30 min before your appointment. We do have earrings available.

Everyone has a different threshold for pain and certain areas of the body are more sensitive than others. You shouldn’t let that stop you from getting what you want, where you want. Most piercings are a slight pinch for a second or two, then it is over.
No. The gun forces blunt jewelry through your body causing unnecessary damage to the tissue. We use a sharp, single-use, hollow needle that quickly removes enough tissue to make room for your new jewelry. The jewelry we use is frequently one size smaller than the needle we use to allow for airflow around the jewelry and faster, more comfortable healing. It is less traumatic and painful.
The standard jewelry that we use 316LVM Implant Grade Surgical Stainless Steel. This grade of metal is perfectly safe to use if you do not have a Nickel sensitivity. However, if you do have a Nickel sensitivity, we do stock a lot of Implant Grade Titanium 6Al-4V-Eli ASTM F-136 and Nickel-Free 14K and 18K Gold from Neometal, Anatometal, and BVLA and can place a custom order if we don’t have the appropriate piece on hand.
You can bring in jewelry if you’d like, but it is up to the piercer’s discretion whether or not it is safe for initial piercing. The cost of jewelry is not included in the price you are quoted for the piercing so you do not need to buy jewelry separately. We will remove the jewelry cost if we accept what you bring in.
Yes we do. You must be over 18 years of age for genital or nipple piercings. Nipples can almost always be taken care of without an appointment, but genital usually requires an appointment. We recommend at least giving us a call ahead of time.
