Q: Does my child need to be a certain age to get a piercing?

A: The youngest we will pierce ear lobes is 4 years of age. All other piercings we will generally do at the age of 12 or older. As for piercings that are considered sexual in nature such as tongues it is up to the discretion of the minors parent or guardian, however we will not preform this on anyone under the age of 16. We will not preform nipple or genital piercings on anyone under the age of 18 years old even with permission from a parent or legal guardian. 

​

Q: Is there a way to hide a piercing for work or school?

A: Yes there is! We can offer you something called a “retainer” once your piercing has fully healed. These are clear jewelry that help to keep your piercing open without it being noticeable. These are also what we recommend to use if you are planning to undergo a medical procedure where you will need to remove all of your body jewelry.  

​

Q: Are oral piercings safe to get?
A: If done by a reputable piercer in a safe and sterile environment, then yes! How you care for your piercing and making sure you have properly fitting jewelry is the key to good oral piercing health. Doing so will help reduce the risk of damaging your teeth and gums. This is why we will not do piercings such as the Smiley, Ashley, Snake Eyes, or Frog Eyes as they pose the most risks to your tooth and gum health. 

 

Q: What will happen to my Belly Button/ Navel piercing if I get pregnant?
A: You can still leave your jewelry in, as long as you are comfortable. There are such things as “pregnancy navel jewelry” but I do not recommend using these as they are made from cheap materials. 

​

Q: Will nipple piercings affect my ability to breastfeed?
A: Nope! However, if you are planning to breastfeed you will need to remove the jewelry before doing so. Leaving these in can cause issues with your baby latching, and it is a major choking hazard! 

​

Q: Can I get a piercing if I’m pregnant?

A: It is highly not recommended. Pregnancy can create problems with the healing process. Also, every piercing comes with the of risk of infection if not cared for correctly which you do not want to affect your unborn child.
