An earlobe piercing is a piercing through the soft, malleable tissue of the lower ear. All other ear piercings go through the cartilage (more dense) tissue of the ear. We offer earlobe piercings starting at age 5 and up. Helixes are offered starting at age 13. Industrials are offered only to those 18 and over and do require an anatomy check prior to piercing. All other cartilage is offered starting at age 16. For small children we do recommend bringing them into the store for a consult before scheduling an appointment. It is very common for a young child to tell their parents they want their ears pierced, but once faced with the reality, their nerves get the better of them and they become too scared to go through with it. Bringing them in for a consult ahead of time can help to avoid this because the child can be familiarized with the process, the studio, and the staff to make them more comfortable and make sure they are sure they want their ears pierced.

Body Piercings are going to be any piercing located below the neck. These piercings come in a wide variety from navel (belly button) piercings to dermals and more. Body piercings often require an anatomy check to ensure the client has the proper anatomy to sustain a happy and well-healed piercing. Please make sure to consult with your piercer to determine if the piercing you're planning to get is a suitable option for the location you are looking to have pierced. Most of our body piercings are only offered to clients age 18 and over. The one exception to this is the navel, which we offer starting at age 16. We do not currently offer any genital (below-the-belt) piercings.

After being pierced, your piercer will inform you that in a certain amount of time it is recommended that you downsize the length of the jewelry in your new piercing. We pierce with jewelry that is a bit longer than what you will typically wear in the piercing once it is healed. This is to accomodate for any potential swelling that may occur. Downsizing the jewelry at the appropriate time is vital to the successful healing of your piercing.

It is common for piercings to become irritated for a variety of reasons and some of the symptoms of irritation can cause concern for clients. We offer troubleshooting consultations with our piercers to attempt to determine the cause of the irritation or issue with the piercing and offer potential solutions.

We recommend bringing small children into the studio for a consultation before scheduling an appointment for the piercing. It is very common for a young child to tell their parents they want their ears pierced, but once faced with the reality, their nerves get the better of them and they become too scared to go through with it. Bringing them in for a consult ahead of time can help to avoid this because the child can be familiarized with the process, the studio, and the staff to make them more comfortable and make sure they are sure they want their ears pierced.

These piercings are done by one of our apprentices under the supervision of an experienced mentor. Because these piercings are done as part of the apprentices' training the needle fee is waived. The client is still required to pay for the cost of jewelry at the time of their appointment.
