How do you ensure everything is clean and safe?
Your safety is our absolute priority. We maintain the highest standards:
Every needle is single-use, opened in front of you.The jewelry and piercing post we use are singly packed and sterilized as well. Any reusable tools are sterilized in our hospital-grade autoclave (the same equipment used in medical clinics). We use hospital-grade disinfectants, and our piercers wear fresh sterile gloves for every procedure.
Is piercing safe for children?
Yes, with careful consideration. We pierce children ages five and up.
We believe it’s important to wait until a child can understand and participate in the process for their comfort and safety. If they cant sit still around needles, then it can be difficult to safely administer the piercing. A parent or guardian must be present with ID.
We recommend morning appointments when children tend to feel their best.
How much does it actually hurt?
Discomfort is brief and varies by placement, often described as a quick, concentrated sensation.
Lobes:Typically a 2/10—like a fast pinch.
Helix or Flat: Around a 4/10.
Conch or Tragus: These are thicker cartilage, so it may feel more pronounced for a second.
Tips for comfort before your appointment:
Eat a good meal 1-2 hours before.
Avoid caffeine beforehand.
We’ll guide you through a calming breathing technique during the moment itself.
