Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT PARTS OF THE BODY DO YOU PIERCE?
We offer ear, nose, eyebrow, tongue, lip, nipple and navel piercing.
HOW OLD DO I HAVE TO BE TO GET A PIERCING?
You must be over 16 and bring Photographic ID. If you are under 16, you have to be accompanied by either a parent or guardian.
DO YOU USE NEEDLES OR A GUN?
We use disposable needles for all of our piercings.
What types of jewellery are there?
The main types are rings or bars which can be made from surgical steel, niobium, titanium, PTFE, silver, or gold. Another popular type is the banana bar, which is curved to fit in a navel piercing. Small studs are sometimes used in the nose and ears. New types of jewellery are being created all the time – we recommend you come to peruse our range and be inspired!
CAN I USE GOLD JEWELLERY FOR THE INITIAL PIERCING?
We do not suggest using gold jewellery as it can affect the healing process. Gold jewellery is used best in fully healed piercings. If your piercing is doing really well, you need to keep it on this course by continuing your aftercare regime for the recommended duration. Do Not Change The Jewellery Prematurely!
DO YOU NUMB THE SKIN BEFORE PIERCING?
No, we do not numb the skin before piercing.
HOW LONG DOES A PIERCING TAKE TO HEAL?
This varies from person to person depending on their metabolism and the type of piercing. The time can range from 6 weeks all the way up to 9 months. It is also absolutely essential to clean the piercing at least twice a day using Antibacterial Cleansing Solution. A full aftercare pack is available which will speed up the healing time.
