Other 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 not use guns with belly button piercings, nor for dermal and surface piercings. Due to safety reasons, only needles will be used in these cases.

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

Belly button piercings require a minimum age of 14. Those under the age of 18 will need a parent or guardian present, along with photo ID.

Due to the nature of the piercing, all surface and dermal piercing requires a minimum age of 18.

Surface piercings are reserved for flat areas of the body such as upper cheeks or chest. Surface piercings will usually feature entrance and exit holes that stand next to each other on the skin, whereas other piercings will have an entrance hole and and exit hole directly behind it.
