FAQs on Piercings

 

Does piercing hurt?

Of course it does but the real question is how much? Often thinking about or waiting to have your piercing will increase your anxiety and fear about the process. This is probably the worst part about the piercing. The piercing itself is brief and pain is relative to each person. Talking through any fears or concerns that you may have with your piercer will help.

How old do I have to be to have a piercing?

If you are under 18 years old, you must have a parent or guardian attend your piercing session with you to give written consent. We pierce all ages, but will only pierce a child that understands what it means to have a piercing, along with the parent/guardian taking responsibility for the aftercare of the piercing.

What should I do before having a piercing?

Having a piercing done on an empty stomach is never a good idea. Eat a good meal before getting pierced to keep your blood sugar steady. If you have not eaten all day, your blood sugar will be low and low blood sugar could cause you to feel dizzy or, in some cases, faint.

Needle Vs Gun

Using a needle for the piercing process itself is much safer and less painful than having a blunt stud forced through your skin. A piercing needle is not only hollow but it is also extremely sharp. It slices through the skin, safely pushing the tissue aside to make room for the jewelry to be inserted. Whilst this may not sound too appealing, it is actually a very quick process and the method is virtually painless for most body parts. Piercings that have been done by a needle will heal quicker than those done by a gun.

What should happen immediately after my piercing?

You should never feel rushed after you have had your piercing. Some people can feel shaky or their new piercing could feel slightly ‘strange and new’ so take the time that you need to feel comfortable to move. Tell your piercer if you feel unwell or faint; don’t be embarrassed you won’t be the first! Some new piercings can take a couple of days to settle and look like they belong, especially if there has been some swelling, be patient. A good

Can I get an infection from being pierced?

Yes, potentially you can especially if your piercer does not follow even the basic infection control principles, but this is very rare. If a piercing becomes infected it is usually due to the person not following the aftercare guidelines that they have been given.

It goes without saying that the needle is for single use only, and should be un-wrapped in front of you. Jewelry should also be sterilized. Work stations should be fully disinfected before and after every piercing procedure, your piercer should wear disposable gloves throughout the procedure, and dispose of needles in a clearly marked sharps container.

What jewelry do you provide?

Our basic jewelry we provide for all appointments is High-Grade Surgical Steel (which is virtually nickel-free). We offer titanium jewelry as an upgraded jewelry for those that may have allergies to nickel products or want to ensure they have a reaction-free piercing. Both options are great and have the best chance of an infection free piercing.

Will my piercing bleed?

Sometimes, yes a new piercing will bleed. A small amount of bleeding the first day or two is not uncommon especially when you are cleaning your piercing. Sometimes even the most experienced piercer can catch a vein which cannot be seen, you may have to have the piercing removed immediately to stop the bleeding so that the area can heal. This is a very rare occurrence however. Sometimes there can be bruising to the tissue around the piercing site which causes discoloration to the skin, but this isn’t usually anything to worry about.

How long before I can change my jewelry?

Healing times can vary from person to person. The first part of the healing period is when your body creates a layer of skin between you and the first piece of jewelry used; the full healing period is when your new piercing is completely healed. Ask your piercer about the healing times for your particular piercing. Changing your jewelry before your piercing is completely healed means you can reopen the ‘piercing wound’. This will slow your healing process and will require thorough aftercare to prevent any possible infection. When you change your jewelry, you are likely to irritate your new piercing, no matter how careful you are. If you are still keen to change your jewelry, we advise that you wait until your piercing is no longer tender to the touch (with clean hands) or sleep on.
