Guidance on our piercings

Titanium is always a good option for brand new piercings. Implant grade titanium is least porous of all of the above material types and won't harbour germs and bacteria. It is the most widely accepted and safe material for implants, not causing reactions with medical procedures. Other places may use a lesser grade material, however this increases the risk of infection and rejected piercings, so we use only the best and safest of materials.

 Materials we do not use for fresh piercings include:

  • 9ct gold
  • Acrylic
  • Steel
  • Gold-plated sterling silver
  • Gold-plated silver
  • Gold-plated surgical steel
  • Gold-plated titanium
  • Rose gold-plated sterling silver
  • Rose gold steel
  • Rose gold titanium
  • Sterling silver 95
  • Surgical steel
  • Titanium-coated steel
  • Zircon steel (gold coloured)
  • Zircon titanium

We do pierce earlobes with piercing guns. There is the option of piercing with a gun or needle when it comes to earlobes. We recommend a gun for children under 5 years due to the level of fidgeting that can be experienced, meaning a rapid process is ideal.  Other body parts will use only needles.

We do not use numbing products on any piercing for many reasons:

  • It is ineffective as it will only penetrate one layer of skin
  • Numbing creams are not meant to be used on broken skin and can irritate piercings
  • Free sprays are illegal due to toxic fumes
  • The piercing process is very quick and smooth. Thanks to the use of the highest grade needles, only minor discomfort is experienced

We do provide discounts if multiple piercings are booked at a time. Let us know at time of booking which piercings you would want and we can provide you with a discount rate.

We do not place age restrictions on earlobe piercings. Inner ear piercing can only be performed on those aged 16 and up. If you are under the age of 18, you will need a parent or guardian and ID with you.

Aftercare

Regular cleaning with water, boiled and left to cool with a pinch of rock salt.

Table salt is not recommended as it has additives which may cause unexpected reactions.


Clean the piercing twice a day, removing any debris, blood or dried fluids.

Hands must be washed before attempting to clean piercings.


If jewellery needs to be repositioned, wait until cleaned and wet.
