• Does it hurt?
    Pain is minimal and brief. Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but most people say it's less painful than expected.

    Is your studio private?

    Yes, you’ll be pierced in a private room.

    How long does a piercing take to heal?
    Healing times vary by piercing:

    • Earlobe: 6–8 weeks

    • Cartilage: 3–9 months

    • Nostril: 2–4 months

    • Septum: 6–8 weeks

    • Navel: 6–12 months

    • Eyebrow: 6–8 weeks

    • Tongue: 4–6 weeks

    How do I clean my piercing?
    Use a sterile saline solution or wound wash (sold in studio $10) 1–2 times daily. Avoid alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or harsh soaps. Do not twist or move the jewelry unnecessarily.

    Can I go swimming after a piercing?
    Avoid pools, hot tubs, lakes, and oceans for at least 2 weeks to prevent infection.

    When can I change my jewelry?
    At least 3 months. Changing jewelry too soon can cause irritation. I offer jewelry change appointments.

    What materials do you pierce with?
    Implant-grade titanium

    Why is Implant-Grade Titanium ideal for initial piercings

    • Hypoallergenic – Nickel - free, extremely low risk of allergic reactions

    • Corrosion resistant – Won’t rust or degrade inside the body

    • Biocompatible – Approved for long-term wear inside the body

    • Lightweight – Comfortable for new piercings and reduces stress on healing tissue

    • Non-porous surface – Helps prevent bacteria buildup and infection

    • Sterilizable – Can be safely autoclaved for proper sanitation

    • Polishes to a mirror-smooth finish – Reduces irritation and promotes faster healing

    • Doesn’t tarnish or discolor skin – Maintains appearance over time

    Is jewelry included in the total?

    Yes

    My piercing is red/swollen/has discharge - is it infected?
    Some redness and discharge are normal during healing. If you experience increasing pain, excessive swelling please text me.

    Can I get multiple piercings at once?
    Yes, but I will guide you on what’s safe for healing and comfort. Overdoing it can slow healing. The 5 piercing deal I offer can split into sessions or split with a friend.

    What if I decide to remove my piercing?
    Most piercings will close over time if removed. Some may leave a scar or small hole.

    Do you pierce with a gun or a needle?
    I use single-use, sterilized needles. Piercing guns can cause trauma and are not recommended.

  • To ensure a smooth and safe experience, please review the following before your appointment:

    Eat & Hydrate
    Have a proper meal and drink plenty of water beforehand to avoid feeling light-headed.

    Avoid Blood Thinners
    Refrain from consuming aspirin, alcohol, or caffeine at least 4–6 hours before your appointment, as they can increase bleeding.

    Expect Minor Discomfort
    Piercings are quick, but a brief pinch or pressure is normal.

    Ear Piercings
    Please wear your hair up and away from your face to keep the area clean and accessible.

    Bring One Support Person
    You're welcome to bring one friend for moral support.
