Piercing FAQ
Piercing

Yes, but appointments take priority.
This means if I have space in my schedule to accommodate a walk-in I will but scheduled appointments will be seen first.
Walk-ins often have long wait times, especially on the weekend. I recommend booking an appointment online before heading to the studio to avoid a long wait.
-
My regular schedule is:
Thursdays: 10:00am-5:00pm
Fridays: 12:00pm-7:00pm
Saturdays: 12:00pm-7:00pm
Sundays: 12:00pm-7:00pm
On occasion this will change. I do like to take a weekend off every so often. You can check my availability on the scheduling page!
-
A card is required to secure your appointment time. You will not be charged at the time of booking. Your card will only be charged a cancelation fee if you no call/no show or cancel your appointment within 24 hours of your appointment time.
If you no call/ no show or cancel at the last minute that appointment slot is not available for other clients who may have booked it. Furthermore, our staff deserves to be paid for their time.

It depends on what you’re having pierced and what jewelry you select! Check out the pricing page for more information

Nope!
We use a Staim Autoclave to sterilize body jewelry. Jewelry brought in from outside the studio creates a risk of being damaged or destroyed or harming our equipment as it is not designed to withstand high heat and pressure.
To ensure health & safety standards are met, and clients have the best opportunity to heal well, I only use safe, high quality jewelry that is graded for implantation in a body to pierce with.

Great question!
We recommend reading our Aftercare Guide prior to making your appointment so you know what the healing process will entail!
Jewelry
-
We are dedicated to making sure every piece of jewelry that leaves the studio is properly fitted. This is why we don’t send jewelry out in baggies and instead do jewelry changes and styling appointments!
If we have time, we’re happy to take walk-ins. However appointments have priority and most weekends we are fully booked with appointments.
We recommend booking a jewelry change or styling before you head to the studio so we can guarantee to get you taken care of in a timely manner.
-
Each piece of jewelry is priced individually.
Titanium starts at $25+
Gold starts at $70+
Genuine/ Precious Stones start at $150
-
If you've lost your jewelry or knocked it out and need help you can book a jewelry change appointment.
-
If you loose your jewelry and your piercing is still healing it is important to make a jewelry change appointment to have another piece put in so your piercing does not close.
**We are not responsible for replacing lost jewelry.
-
All our titanium and 14k gold jewelry has a 2 year warranty agains manufacturer defects. This does not include damage caused by abuse to the jewelry.

We can accommodate three people (including the client being pierced) in the piercing room. So you’re welcome to bring two guests with you to your appointment.
Guest are required to adhere to our behavior standards (see our policies). Please do not bring any guests who are intoxicated or will make you feel uncomfortable, uneasy, or unsafe.
-
We do not allow picture or videos to be taken in the piercing room.
-
We understand that finding childcare can be difficult.
However, we do not recommend clients bring small children or multiple children with them to their piercing appointment.
Our piercer is managing sharps and could easily hurt themselves, the client, or the child if they are not properly supervised. The studio has many hazards that could endanger an unattended or unruly child.
Our policy is every child must have and adult hand. The client can not be this hand while they are getting pierced. So if you're bringing a child with you, please bring an additional adult who can supervise them during your piercing appointment. Please note that all guest, including children, must adhere to our behavior policy for the health and safety of both staff and clients.
If a child becomes unmanageable, excessively loud, or creates and unsafe environment we will ask that they be removed from the studio.

No.
Numbing agents cause tissue to constrict and can effect the overall shape of the piercing channel and can cause piercings to be crooked.
Furthermore, topical numbing creams will not prevent pain during piercing as we are going through tissue.
-
We work in a private piercing room with a door that we shut as needed so our clients are not out on display.
Our piercing room is calm, zen, and safe ❤️

Our piercer, Zia, is a femme non-binary person.
