FAQ
Why can’t I have a smaller stud/hoop?: With fresh piercings, we need to accommodate the body with its natural reaction to piercing which is swelling. When we place something that is considered too small for the area being pierced, swelling will often take place, and can even cause your piercing to be submerged, or swollen over. It will heal a fresh layer of skin over top and cause the piercing to be trapped, at this point we often will not be able to retrieve/ remove the piercing. This is why we recommend the jewelry size that we do, to encourage a safe and happy healing process! Once you are fully healed, more than likely we can place a smaller piece of jewelry, depending on location of the piercing.
If we cannot place a smaller hoop/stud in a healed piercing, it is simply due to safety. What you may want/think looks best for you, is not actually practical. Every piece of jewelry we place is tailored to your specific body’s anatomy, certain piercings require larger jewelry for risks of potential snagging (imagine a piece of jewelry being snagged through your ear because of how small it is, ouch!) and also, we never want something to feel uncomfortable. Having too small of hoops can leave indents and become painful over time, this is not practical for long term wear!
We will NOT preform any type of fresh piercing on someone who is pregnant or breastfeeding. When you are pregnant your body is going through several changes, that often can cause your body to stress. This can cause even well established and healed piercings to become irritated! The risk of infection getting into your bloodstream is extremely high, and is overall not worth the risk.
316L Implant grade titanium, solid 14 or 18 karat gold, niobium, and more rare metals such as platinum are deemed safe to place in fresh piercings. Metals you want to avoid is silver,
gold plated, brass, bronze, and copper. “Cheap” jewelry that you find on big retailer websites and stores often cause issues such as infections, rejection, and irritation. When you face the serious complications that come with low quality jewelry, those few dollars that you saved you will find not worth it. We strive to provide safe and proper high end jewelry to avoid any unnecessary hassle that you may face with low quality jewelry.
Established and fully healed nipple piercings do not block or interfere with breastfeeding, although we do recommend removal of jewelry to feed your baby. We advise against getting a fresh nipple piercing if you are breastfeeding/plan to breastfeed within two years. Healing is typically 9-12 months, and not having a fully established piercing can be problematic, even harder to heal during this time.
We do not suggest swimming for at least 4-8 weeks after any fresh piercing. This includes pools, lakes, hot tubs, ocean, or even sitting in bathtubs for extended periods of time. Please be aware that if you do ignore this suggestion, that your new piercing may become irritated, infection, or even begin to reject. If you are experiencing irritation after the 8 week recommendation with swimming, please immediately clean the area with saline we provided you and keep the area dry.
Certain piercings require a certain body anatomy in order to preform safely. Often times it is the Navel, industrial, double tongue piercings, lips like “ashley” piercings, venom or “frog eye” (not a scoop) and even genital piercings. Please be assured, if you book an appointment with us and we cannot preform a piercing due to anatomy, you will not be charged a fee for it! We will not preform piercings that will be unsafe for you due to your anatomy.
We will NEVER preform a piercing that is going to be damaging to your body, unsafe to heal, has a high rejection rate, is going to cause you issues due to anatomy reasons. Snugs, certain dermals, snake eyes, scoops,
cheek, are all considered high risk piercings or downright frowned upon in the piercing industry.
We get asked this a lot. Let’s break down why reputable piercers WILL NOT do a horizontal tongue or surface tongue piercing (often called a scoop or snake-eyes, not to be confused with a traditional vertical tongue piercing)
These piercings can cause gum erosion, chipped teeth and even lisps. They are so unsafe I will flat out refuse to do them. The tongue is a very mobile part of the body, and when that movement on a daily basis from eating, talking, drinking etc occurs it can cause major irritation with the surface piercing. The tongue is actually eight separate muscles and pinning them together will restrict movement, cause irritation and put pressure on the piercing. Movement and pressure with surface piercings can be a key reason they start to migrate and eventually reject if not taken out. Because of where they are usually pierced, they sit right behind your bottom teeth when your tongue is at rest. This lack of room for the piercing will most likely cause it to never heal properly which is another risk of rejection and will eventually erode away the gums it constantly rest on. This is the major one, dental damage. It will cause irreversible damage to your teeth, enamel and gums from constant movement, rubbing, usage and accidentally biting down on it which can caused chipped teeth. Even just talking and using certain sounds require the tip of your tongue to come into contact with your teeth, making chipping them a huge possibility, or even snagging and ripping. Compared to two separate tongue piercings done vertically, these risk are very high along with the rejection/migration rate. If you appreciate only seeing your dentist every so often, I highly suggest to never have this done. These also can damage nerves, has the potential to ruin taste buds, it goes through a ton of muscle that never regrows and with all the veins running lateral through the tongue you cause a ton more damage to heal such as heavy bleeding. Also the lingual plate, which is where the front teeth are located, is extremely thin making breakage that much more likely. If a piercer is willing to preform this piercing they are only interested in taking your money, and have no concern for your well being.
Always start by washing your hands anytime you touch your body piercing. Take the saline can and hold the nozzle about an inch away from your fresh piercing. Hold down for about 5-10 seconds on both sides (some piercings excluded) to flush and irrigate the area. If any lymph (crusties) is left, repeat until the area is clear. The entire goal is to make the piercing and jewelry look like it did when you left the shop, afterwards it’s important to dry the area with a clean paper towel or a blow dryer on the cool setting. Do this a max of 3 times a day, your daily/bi-daily shower counts as a rinse as well. Wear loose and comfortable clothing if a piercing is to be covered.
•Staying healthy and eating a nutritious diet will make healing easier.
•Your bedding and pillow should be kept clean and changed regularly. If you have pets we highly recommend switching your pillow case for a clean t-shirt on a daily basis to provide a clean surface for your healing piercing. Healing piercings should not be submerged in any bodies of water for 4-5 weeks.
This includes lakes, ponds. pools, hot tubs, rivers, marinas etc.
•A large majority of people mistake irritation with scar tissue. If you suspect you are developing scar tissue, please contact your piercer and we can point you in the right direction.
•Maintain cleanliness of telephones, headphones, eyeglasses, helmets, hats, and anything that contacts the pierced area.
•Use caution when styling your hair and advise your stylist of a new or healing piercing.•Sleeping on/putting a direct pressure on your piercing for a prolonged amount of time can cause irritation bumps and even heal the piercing at an extreme angle.
•Consistent snags or bumps will slow down the healing process. You’ll need to make adjustments if you notice something you regularly do causes issues.
•Only a qualified piercer should perform any necessary jewelry changes during the healing process.
•Contact us if your piercing has to be temporarily removed (medical procedures, jobs etc) There are non-metal jewelry options and retainers for hiding piercings.
•Always leave your body jewelry in. Even old well established piercings can shrink and dose quickly even after having them.

Keeping yourself propped up above your heart rate, taking anti-inflammatories (if your doctor is okay with it) and applying a cold compress to the area will all help with swelling.
Week 2-4 – Yellow, white, clear crusties will form, do not pick at them. Come on in for your month check-up! If we downsize now, you can skip Week 6.
Week 5 – Maturation. Redness should be mostly gone, Still clean the piercing.
Week 6 – Downsizing. Come in because we may need to shorten the jewelry.
Week 7+- Your piercing is still healing even if it doesn’t hurt to touch or simply seem like it, This is because the tissue heals from the outside in and the interior remains fragile. Your piercing still needs to be cleaned once daily as part of your daily hygiene routine, otherwise normal but smelly bodily secretions may accumulate.
