Does an ear piercing hurt?
Most people feel a quick pinch and it's over fast. Lobes are the gentlest, while cartilage spots like helix and conch have a little more pressure. We talk you through each step so nothing catches you off guard, which is a big reason nervous first-timers come to us.
How long does a helix take to heal?
Cartilage piercings like a helix usually take several months to fully heal, longer than a lobe. Stick to your saline aftercare, avoid sleeping on it, and don't swap the jewelry too early. We go over a realistic timeline with you before you leave.
Can I hide a septum piercing at work?
Yes. A septum can be worn with a retainer or flipped up so it's out of sight, which makes it a favorite for people with strict dress codes. Once it's healed, swapping to a discreet piece takes seconds. We'll show you how during your visit.
How long until I can change my nose jewelry?
A nostril usually needs a couple of months before it's ready for a jewelry change, sometimes longer. Changing it too early can irritate the piercing or make it hard to get back in. When you're close, stop by and let us do the first swap.
How do I know if I can get a navel piercing?
It comes down to anatomy. There needs to be a defined ridge above the navel for the jewelry to sit in and heal. We check this in person before piercing, and if your anatomy isn't suited to a standard navel, we'll tell you honestly instead of doing a piercing that's likely to reject.
How long does a belly piercing take to heal?
Navel piercings are slower healers, often taking several months up to a year to fully settle. High-waisted clothing, seatbelts, and workouts can all irritate it, so patience and consistent saline care matter. We'll set realistic expectations before you commit.
Will a lip piercing damage my teeth or gums?
It can if the jewelry is too long or the wrong style, because it rubs the gums and enamel. We fit you with correctly sized jewelry and can downsize once swelling drops to reduce contact. Good placement and the right piece make a real difference in protecting your smile.
How swollen will my facial piercing get?
Some swelling in the first few days is normal, especially for lip piercings, which is why we start with slightly longer jewelry to leave room. Cold compresses and avoiding spicy or salty food help. Once the swelling settles, come back for a downsize to a shorter, cleaner-fitting piece.
Why do I need a downsize after piercing?
We start with slightly longer jewelry so there's room for early swelling. Once that settles, the extra length lets the piece move and snag, which slows healing. Coming back for a shorter, better-fitting piece keeps the piercing stable and comfortable. It's a quick visit and well worth it.
Can you change jewelry you didn't pierce?
In most cases, yes, as long as the piercing is healed and healthy. Bring the new jewelry or pick something in studio, and we'll safely swap it for you. If the piercing still looks irritated, we'll let you know and suggest waiting so we don't set your healing back.
How should I clean my new piercing?
Sterile saline is the go-to. Soak or spray the piercing a couple of times a day, avoid harsh products like alcohol and peroxide, and don't over-clean, which can irritate it. We give you a written routine at your visit and you're always welcome to check back in with questions.
What if I get a bump around my piercing?
Irritation bumps are common and usually come from snagging, sleeping on it, or the wrong jewelry, not infection. Don't pick at it or try random home fixes. Come by and let us look. Often a downsize, a jewelry swap, or adjusting your aftercare routine clears it up.
