Jewelry
What Jewelry do you use?
We are proud members of the Association of Professional Piercers, who help set health and safety standards for body piercings world wide. We use only brands that meet or exceed minimum standards set forth by the APP. We have a rotating selection of implant grade titanium, 14k and 18k gold, and synthetic and genuine gems from top of the line brands like Body Vision Los Angeles.
Can I bring my own jewelry to be pierced with?
For your safety, we only work with jewelry from verified companies that we know is designed for body piercing, safe to be sterilized, and safe for you. Jewelry must meet APP standards. If you have jewelry you have purchased from us or another reputable studio you can bring it in for us to use. If we can not verify the jewelry is safe, we will be unable to install it for you.
If you are wanting to be pierced with your own jewelry you will need to schedule an appointment for that service, and drop the jewelry off 24 hours in advance for decontamination and processing. There is a 5-10$ fee for decontamination and processing.
Will you put jewelry in for me?
We are happy to install jewelry for you! Please note that if you are bringing in your own pieces we need to decontaminate and clean them before we can install them, and this is usually a 30 minute process. Please come prepared to wait. There is a 5-10$ fee for decontamination and processing.
How do I take care of my piercing?
You can find our aftercare information here.
What is Downsizing? Do I need to downsize?
Downsizing is the process of replacing the initial bar you were pierced with to one that is more fitted. We start most piercings off with a little bit of extra length to allow for swelling and healing. As you heal, that length can become uncomfortable, or can cause the angle to shift. We shorten the posts after the initial swelling has gone down to prevent this. Placements like helix, flat, and conch piercings should be downsized around 4-6 weeks to prevent angle issues. Oral piercings should be downsized to prevent tooth and gum damage. Your aftercare pamphlet will include if you need to downsize, and what the timeline would be.
