PIERCING FAQ:
Does it Hurt ?
Of course. Some people say it hurts a lot, and others think not at all. Which ever the case, it only
hurts for a second.

Will it Bleed ?
Again, for every person it is different. Each piercing is also different. Some people bleed a lot and
some bleed minimally. Some piercings tend to bleed more than others.

How long will the process take ?
That depends on you. If you are sure and confident, we can usually perform the piercing in 15 - 20
minutes.

How is it done ? Is it sterile ?
The piercing is done with a hollow point needle, and followed through with surgical stainless steel,
niobium, or gold jewelry. Everything is sterilized to hospital standards using an autoclave.

When can I change the jewelry ?
We recommend that you do not change the jewelry until the piercing is completely healed. Up to 12 weeks
after the piercing is performed.

Should I make an appointment ?
No ---walk ins are welcome.

Where do I get the cleaning products ?
We sell what you need to care for your piercings.

Will it get infected ?
Not if you follow the after care instructions.
