We only use the best metals for piercings. 14K solid gold and titanium, “implant grade”which is the safest for ear piercings.

We accept walk-ins if there is availability, but to avoid disappointment, we recommend securing a spot. Book your appointment here.

The service fee covers only the piercing. This small price covers the expertise of the professional piercer, as well as equipment and sanitizing of the piercing station before and after the appointment. Piercing jewelry is additional.

We start at infants, however a parent or guardian must attend their appointment, have a valid driver's license, and sign a consent form for the piercing and the aftercare steps.

If this is your infant or child's 1st piercing. Use Emla topical cream (a type of lidocaine to help with pain). Use Tylenol for infants (as directed by your physician) and a pacifier, bottle, or nursing is a great option. Consider also bringing a blanket to swaddle and calm the baby. 

Great question! Our hand-pressurized device is not the same as a piercing gun. A piercing gun is a spring-loaded machine, which can cause damage to tissue when not used properly. With our gentle hand-pressurized device, our expert piercing professionals have full and precise control of the pressure that is applied.

Generally speaking, lobe piercings are less painful and heal quicker than other piercings, typically 6-12 weeks with the right aftercare. That said, pain is often subjective and experienced differently, so we recommend getting the piercing that you want the most — our expert piercers will be with you through every step of the process. 

Potentially! Our expert piercing professionals will assess your old piercing and determine if it’s OK to make a new piercing. In most cases we can, but it’s best to first check to see if it’s safe to do so.

Our expert piercing professional will give you specific advice on the day of your piercing, but it’s best to not change your piercing too soon.

Earlobe piercings can be changed after a minimum of 8 weeks. Cartilage piercings can be changed after a minimum of six months. With any type of piercing, it’s super important to use high-quality jewelry if and when you decide to change the piercing.

Better healing starts with better piercing. When you get pierced with us, we use a piercing backing that is longer than a typical butterfly backing. This accommodates swelling during the healing process.

Once your piercing has healed, simply pop into the shop for assistance. We are happy to help you pick out new earrings with a smaller post or check in on your healing process.

Make an appointment, so our trained experts can downsize the correct earrings for you.

Of course you can! We recommend purchasing a gift card in the amount of the service fee: $50 for the hand-pressurized device. (Shop gift cards.)

If you want to give them a head start on their ear stack, you can also add the cost of piercing jewelry. (Shop all piercing jewelry.)
