FAQs

  • No. If you booked an appointment for yourself you cannot transfer that spot to someone else. Please reach out to your artist in a timely manner if something comes up and you need to reschedule.

  • A numbing product should not be applied to the piercing site prior to piercing. You’re probably wondering why, right? Because piercings hurt! We won’t lie and say they don’t, but they only take 2 seconds. Numbing products work because they constrict blood flow, but they also distort tissue, which can shift a piercing from its original position once the numbing wears off in a few hours and your skin relaxes.

  • Numbing products for tattoos are A-okay because they are superficial wounds. Ask your artist for a recommendation!

  • Yes, you can get a piercing after a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, or an ear reconstruction. However, you must wait at least 12 months after surgery to allow yourself time to heal and your scars to mature. Even if your doctor says it’s okay sooner, it takes at least a full year for surgical scars to settle. Getting pierced sooner may cause more scar tissue to form.

  • Please do not get tattooed or pierced if you know or believe you are pregnant. We will not knowingly tattoo or pierce a pregnant person because a tattoo/body piercing is a voluntary procedure that can result in infection.

    Please cease breastfeeding before getting any tattoo or piercing.

    For nipples piercings, we recommend you wait 6 months after you have ceased breastfeeding to allow the tissue time to stabilize.

    Jewelry is a choking hazard, no matter how tightly you believe it is secured, so you may have to retire your nipple piercings or wait before getting them done.

  • No, we will only perform fresh piercings with jewelry from our studio. All our jewelry arrives new and unworn and is sterilized on-site. Jewelry brought in may not be appropriate for a new piercing and will not be sterilized.

  • We do! You can purchase them in store. :)

  • We accept cash, credit and debit cards. Please be aware we do charge sales tax for all services and products.

  • We primarily pierce with implant grade titanium ASTM F-136 and some niobium. We offer gold (14kt and 18kt) by special order.

    You are welcome to bring the product of your choice to your tattoo appointment and apply it before you leave.

  • Yes, children are allowed in the studio BUT there must be one adult present for each child. We do not expect you to supervise your child while getting a service done and strongly suggest you bring an additional adult to watch the child or leave the child at home.

    If our kindness is abused we will have to change the rules, so please be mindful! This rule exists to keep everyone safe and to keep our artists’ sole concentration on you and their work.

  • Yes, though anyone who is not being serviced may be asked to wait in the lobby due to the limited space in some of the rooms. Chairs are not always available so please be prepared to stand or wait in the lobby, especially if you are coming with a large group.

  • Generally, no. If you are about to visit a location where you will be swimming or will not have access to clean running water, it’s best to hold off. If you are taking a plane, you can expect your body to swell even more due to the pressure and altitude.

  • Most medical conditions will not prevent you from getting a tattoo or piercing, however these procedures do pose a small risk of infection which can be a greater risk for people with weakened immune systems.

    If you are someone who is immuno-compromised or were diagnosed with a heart condition or seizure disorder, please contact your doctor prior to visiting us to ensure you are not taking an unnecessary risk.

    We will only refuse service if we genuinely believe it is dangerous to your safety.
