Questions
What identification is required for piercings?
Valid photo ID showing name and birthdate is required. Acceptable forms include driver's license, passport, health card, or student card with birth certificate.
Can I get pierced if I have metal allergies?
We use implant-grade titanium which is virtually nickel-free and hypoallergenic. This material heals faster with minimal complication risk compared to gold or silver jewelry.
Do you offer piercing aftercare services?
Yes, we provide free aftercare check-ups and jewelry changes during regular business hours with no appointment needed for these services.
Are appointments required for piercings?
We book piercing appointments Monday through Sunday. Jewelry changes and check-ups don't require appointments and can be done during regular hours.
Can you re-pierce through scar tissue?
In most cases yes. Sensation may vary depending on nerve tissue condition, with some clients experiencing similar or increased sensitivity during re-piercing.
What body jewelry brands do you carry?
Our inventory includes Industrial Strength, Anatometal, NeoMetal, Gorilla Glass, Maya Jewelry, and Tawapa brands with options for both fresh and healed piercings.
