FAQ Piercings
Does getting a piercing hurt?
The sensation of pain depends on the location and your personal tolerance. Most clients describe it as a brief, sharp prick that lasts only one or two seconds. We work gently and precisely to make the procedure as comfortable as possible.
How long does it take for a piercing to heal?
The healing time varies depending on the type of piercing:
Earlobes: 6–8 weeks
Cartilage (helix, tragus, rook, etc.): 3–6 months
Belly button: 6–12 months
Facial piercings: 6–12 weeks We’ll provide you with personalized aftercare instructions to help ensure quick and healthy healing.
What materials do you use for your jewelry?
We use only high-quality, hypoallergenic materials such as implant-grade titanium, surgical stainless steel, and solid gold. This helps minimize the risk of irritation or allergic reactions.
Can I bring my own jewelry?
For first-time piercings, we recommend our sterile, certified jewelry to ensure safety and optimal healing. Once the piercing has fully healed, you are welcome to have your own jewelry inserted.
How do I care for my new piercing?
Clean twice daily with sterile saline solution
Do not touch with unwashed hands
Keep hair, makeup, and skincare products away from the area
Avoid swimming pools, lakes, and saunas while the area is healing
What should I do if my piercing gets infected?
Mild redness and swelling are normal during the first few days. If you experience persistent pain, discharge, or severe swelling, contact us immediately. We will advise you on the next steps or refer you to a medical professional if necessary.
Can I get multiple piercings done in one session?
Yes—depending on the location and your body’s ability to heal. We’ll discuss the options during the consultation.
Do you also pierce minors?
We perform piercings on individuals aged 16 and older—without requiring parental consent. We offer genital piercings exclusively to individuals aged 18 and older. For customers under the age of 16, piercings are possible with written consent and the presence of a parent, depending on the type and location of the piercing.
