Pain is temporary- cool piercings are forever! Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but most people say it’s over faster than expected. We work quickly, cleanly, and talk you through the whole thing so you feel in control.

Yes! Just rinse it gently at the end, and avoid direct streams of shampoo or body wash. Rinse thoroughly and dry with clean paper towels. 

Crusties= dried lymph, totally normal. Clean it gently with saline, no picking! 

That’s common, especially if you’ve slept on it or bumped it. Clean gently and don’t touch. If you’re unsure, send us a photo or pop in. 

Try not to, especially for ear and facial piercings, Use a travel pillow or piercing pillow (with a hole in the middle) to avoid pressure and irritation.

Absolutely. We’re a neurodiverse- friendly, trauma aware, LGBTQIA+ safe space. Let us know what you need- quiet appointments, step by step talk through, calming vibes- we’ve got you. 

No! Removing it can trap the infection inside. Clean it, monitor it, and come see us (or a GP if needed). We’ll support you.
