WHERE CAN I PARK?

PIERCING FAQS

DO YOU TAKE WALK INS FOR PIERCINGS?

  • We do all piercing and jewelry insertion services either on a walk in basis or by appointment. Please contact the shop for our piercers hours and availability before coming down to the shop.

  • For all walk-in services, we ask that you arrive at least a half-hour prior to closing.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO MY APPOINTMENT?

  • We require clients have proper identification every visit—even if you’ve shown it on a previous trip. For more information about our ID policies, including what forms are acceptable go to our ID REQUIREMENTS page.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY APPOINTMENT?

  • Please try to eat a meal or snack within four hours prior to any service (including jewelry insertion or stretching) as this lessens the risk of becoming nauseous or faint.

  • ARRIVE SOBER(ISH). Whether you are a seasoned pro or this is your first piercing, fear not, we strive to be precise and as fast and pain free as possible. While we don’t mind you having a drink beforehand or taking a mild pain reliever (such as ibuprofen) please respect our piercers and do not come in hammered drunk or high on drugs as we reserve the right to decline to perform your requested services.

DO YOU PIERCE MINORS?

  • We pierce earlobes on CONSENTING children of all ages over 5.

  • Ear piercings (other than lobes) are pierced at older ages at the piercer’s discretion.

  • We can pierce 16 & 17 year-olds with the exception of dermals, nipple and genital piercings.

  • Minors will need to bring a form of ID as well as a parent or guardian with ID.

ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW?

  • Not all piercings will work for your body.

  • If your desired placement won’t work please understand we are trying to ensure you leave with a healthy piercing with a good chance of healing.

  • We don’t like to turn away clients, but we do reserve the right to decline services if we don’t feel it will make for a successful piercing.

  • Above all, have fun and leave the hard work to us!
