Body Piercing FAQ

DO I NEED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT?

Yes. All appointments are to be made using my online book system. This can be found here

HOW LONG DO APPOINTMENTS TAKE?

Your piercing appointment can take anywhere from 15-30 minutes depending on the piercing.

HOW LONG DO PIERCINGS TAKE TO HEAL?

Piercings do not heal in a couple of days or even weeks, they can take months and in some cases a year or more to completely heal. Being sick, having an impaired immune system, or sleeping on or bumping the piercing can prolong the healing process. It is important to continue cleaning and caring for your piercing for as long as possible, even if it looks healed. You can find the minimum timeline for healing here

WHEN CAN I CHANGE THE JEWELLERY AFTER MY INITIAL PIERCING?

It is recommended to wait at least 8 weeks or longer before changing the jewellery for the first time. Exceptions to this is tongue piercing which can be downsized at 2 weeks, and lip piercings which can be downsized at 4-6 weeks if long jewellery is getting in the way.

CAN I BRING MY OWN JEWELLERY?

No, we unfortunately do not allow other jewellery to be brought in. You can swap to what you want/like after the recommended healing time.

CAN YOU GET A PIERCING UNDER 16?

Yes you can, however you must have a parent and/or guardian and you both must have a legally valid physical copy photo ID such as drivers licence, Proof of Age or passport to sign the form before you can be pierced.

CAN I GET PIERCED IF IM 16?

Yes you can except for nipple/genital and dermal. They are 18 and over only. You will need a legally valid physical copy of photo ID such as Drivers License, Proof of Age Card or Passport.

WHAT PIERCINGS ARE FOR ONLY 18 YEARS AND OVER?

Nipple/Genital and Dermals are piercings you have to be over 18 to get pierced with a legally valid physical copy photo ID such as Drivers License, Proof of Age or Passport.
