Our Piercing Services
Ear Piercings
We offer the full range of ear piercings, from standard lobe to advanced cartilage work, including:
- Lobe
- Helix
- Forward Helix
- Tragus
- Conch
- Industrial
- Daith
Every piercing is done with sterile tools and medical-grade jewelry. We carefully measure symmetry and placement before piercing to achieve balanced, natural results.
Nose Piercings
Nostril and septum piercings are among our most requested services. We discuss anatomy and jewelry options before proceeding to ensure perfect alignment and aesthetic flow. Our piercer works gently and efficiently to make the process smooth and safe.
Lip and Oral Piercings
Lip, labret, and medusa piercings require precision and understanding of anatomy. We use internally threaded or threadless jewelry to minimize irritation and promote faster healing. All oral piercings include guidance on cleaning and swelling management.
Eyebrow and Facial Piercings
For clients looking for a unique accent, we offer eyebrow, bridge, and anti-eyebrow piercings. These are done with care to ensure even placement and proper healing. Our piercer will assess anatomy and provide specific aftercare for these more delicate areas.
Navel Piercings
Our belly button piercings are done with implant-grade stainless steel or titanium jewelry to ensure safety and reduce the risk of irritation. Placement and curvature are measured carefully for a secure fit and smooth healing.
Dermals
Dermal piercings, also known as microdermals or surface anchors, are one of our studio specialties. These piercings sit flush against the skin, offering a sleek, modern look. Our piercer uses sterile, single-use tools to implant the anchor precisely, reducing trauma to the skin.
We’ll guide you through aftercare and discuss the best placements to ensure your dermal heals properly and lasts.
Body Modifications
For clients seeking advanced procedures, we offer selective body modification services performed with professional-grade equipment under sterile conditions. Consultations are required for all modification work to ensure safety and proper planning.

All equipment is opened in front of the client to guarantee transparency. Each station is disinfected before and after every procedure.

FAQs
Do piercings hurt?
Pain varies based on location and individual sensitivity. Our piercer works efficiently to minimize discomfort, and the process typically lasts only seconds.
Can I bring my own jewelry?
For safety, we recommend using our sterile, implant-grade jewelry. If you bring your own, it must meet medical standards and will be sterilized before use.
How long does healing take?
Healing time depends on the piercing. Earlobes heal in about 6–8 weeks, cartilage and navel piercings may take 3–6 months, and dermals may take longer.
What should I avoid during healing?
Avoid sleeping directly on the piercing, excessive touching, and any harsh cleaning agents. Stick to sterile saline and gentle rinsing.
Do you do minors?
Yes, certain piercings can be done on minors with parental consent and proper ID. Age restrictions vary by service.
Can I walk in for a piercing?
Absolutely. Walk-ins are welcome daily from 2 PM to 12 AM. For multiple piercings or dermals, scheduling an appointment is recommended.
