• Tips are never expected, but always appreciated. Body artists are service workers like your hair stylists, nail techs, waitresses and delivery drivers. The same tipping scale you may use for them, works for us too!

• We recommend not bringing your children to your appointment, as we would like to be as focused on you, the client, as possible.

• The entrance to the piercing room is three feet wide, the piercing chair is about two and a half feet off the ground and has a weight limit of 600 pounds.

• The studio is on the second floor of the building, and we currently do not have an elevator system in place. We have 19 stairs before accessing our studio.

• If any specific assistance is needed please let us know before your appointment so we can do our best to make your experience as comfortable as possible.

• If your child has sensory issues, be sure that they are 100% enthusiastically ready to get pierced. The experience can be a bit harrowing for little ones, so have a talk with them and make sure they are ready.

• Our waiting room is warm and inviting, while our piercing room is very minimal to avoid overstimulation. We have a speaker in the room where we can play music if you would like, and the room itself is private with a door to block out noise from the other artists.

• Our consent policy is that if a child says “No” or otherwise does not want to continue with the appointment, we will not force them to go ahead and get pierced. The comfort of the child comes first. Your deposit can be refunded in this instance.

• No, feel free to come in and browse! However, if you need to have the jewelry put in for you, we may not have time right that moment. If you think you’ll need to have it changed by a professional, we highly recommend booking a jewelry change appointment.

• Most piercings are comparable to popping a sensitive pimple or waxing a sensitive hair. It’s not painless, but it’s also not the worst thing. The pinch only lasts for a moment, then the pressure is released and it's over. Done the right way by a skilled piercer, you will be pleasantly surprised at how easy the experience is!

• We pride ourselves on carrying only the highest quality of implant-grade titanium and gold, as well as our commitment to sterilization and safety. We cannot guarantee the material and quality of your own jewelry, as well as if it's ever been used before, so we will not pierce you with jewelry you bring to your appointment.

• Our jewelry ranges from simple titanium to decorative 14kt gold, so you have plenty of options to choose from for any price range.

• Implant-grade titanium studs range from $30-$150, depending on how decorative the individual piece is. That price includes the titanium post (backing) ($15-$20). Rings range from $20-$230.

• 14kt gold stud styles range from $80-$250, also depending on the intricacy of the piece. This price includes the titanium post (backing) ($15-$20). 14kt gold posts can be ordered upon request, although would be an extra charge. 14kt gold rings range from $65-$400+ depending on the piece.

• Our jewelry is only the highest quality from brands Anatometal, LeRoi, Neometal, People’s, BVLA, Junipurr, Buddha Jewelry Organics, and more. We also take custom orders from any APP-approved jewelry manufacturer.

• Body jewelry is NOT returnable or exchangeable once it leaves the studio.

• We do accept walk-ins, but we cannot guarantee you will be taken right away. We highly recommend booking an appointment so your time is yours and yours only, and you won’t have to wait to be seen!
