-A note on getting pierced as a minor:
When piercing anyone under 18, a parent or legal guardian must be present with valid photo ID. We also require ID for the minor. This can be a birth certificate, current passport, permit, or license. Your aunt, uncle, grandma, family member over 18, or friends parent can not sign for your piercing, only a parent or legal guardian can.

Yes, you are allowed one person in the room with you when getting pierced. If you are under 18 this will have to be your parent or legal guardian.

No, we only pierce with single use, sterilized piercing needles.
-Can I bring my own jewelry?

-How do I take care of my piercing?
Please check out our aftercare section on how to take care of your new piercing.
-Can I go swimming with my new piercing?
There can be a lot of bacteria in bodies of water. Because of this we recommend no swimming for the first 2 months after getting pierced. Be especially careful of lakes, ponds and hot tubs.
-How long until I can change my jewelry?
Each person, and piercing is going to heal at a different rate. Generally we say 2-6 months before you can change most piercings. A healed piercing will not longer be red/pink, swollen, sore, or producing a discharge. If you are unsure if your piercing is healed enough to change, please reach out so we can help.
-What is Downsizing?
Downsizing is switching to a shorter piece of jewelry after the initial swelling has subsided. We often recommend doing this 3-6 weeks after the initial piercing to aid in the healing. With the piercing being so fresh, make sure to come in to have this done so you don't risk infection or losing the piercing.
