Everyone experiences pain differently, but most piercings feel like a quick pinch. It's usually over in seconds and much more tolerable than people expect.
-
Only sterile, single-use needles — never piercing guns.
Needles are far safer, more precise, and reduce trauma to the skin. -
For safety and hygiene, I only pierce with sterile, implant-grade jewellery that I know meets proper standards. Once healed, we can discuss switching to your own jewellery if it's safe.
-
Yes — all piercings come with implant-grade titanium jewellery included in the price, unless otherwise discussed.
-
It means the jewellery is made from materials that are biocompatible and safe for long-term wear in the body, like ASTM F-136 titanium — the same used in medical implants
-
Healing varies depending on the location and your body.
Here are some general guidelines:Earlobe: 6–8 weeks
Helix/Cartilage: 3–6 months
Nostril: 2–4 months
Septum: 6–8 weeks
Navel: 6–9 months
Nipple: 6–12 months
Tongue: 4–6 weeks
Genital: varies — discussed individually
-
Only after the piercing is fully healed.
Changing too soon can irritate the area or cause complications -
You can come back for a quick, safe jewellery change.
If you're unsure, I’m happy to help or show you how it's done properly. -
If you're talking about initial swelling, downsizing is recommended after a few weeks.
You can book a downsizing appointment — I’ll switch to a shorter bar to improve healing and comfort. -
If the piercing is fully healed and not causing discomfort, yes.
Flexible jewellery may be a better option — feel free to ask me to help adjust it safely. -
A well-healed nipple piercing typically does not affect breastfeeding.
But it should be removed during nursing and should never be done during pregnancy. -
No — for safety reasons, I do not pierce anyone currently pregnant, no matter how early. Your health (and your baby’s) comes first.
-
Ideally, wait until your body has recovered and hormones have balanced — usually 3 to 6 months postpartum. If breastfeeding, we’ll discuss the safest options together.
-
Common signs include:
Persistent redness or swelling
Unusual discharge (yellow/green pus)
Throbbing pain or heat
Fever or chills (in rare cases)
-
Don’t panic — many things that look like infections are actually irritation or minor reactions.
Clean gently, avoid touching, and contact me directly.
If needed, I’ll guide you or recommend seeing a professional.
