Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it hurt?
Most piercings cause only brief, mild discomfort — the process is very quick. Our experienced piercer will talk you through each step so you feel comfortable and in control.
What jewellery do you use?
All piercings are completed with high-quality titanium labrets — hypoallergenic and ideal for healing. Jewellery upgrades are available for an additional fee.
Do you use needles or a gun?
We use only single-use sterile needles — never a gun. Needles are safer, more precise, and cause less trauma to the tissue, resulting in better healing.
How old do I need to be?
Piercings are available from age 7. Those 16 and over need no parental consent. Ages 7–15 are welcome with a parent or guardian present to sign a consent form — photo ID is required for both.
How long does healing take?
Lobes typically heal in 6–8 weeks. Cartilage piercings (helix, rook, daith etc.) take 3–12 months. We'll give you full aftercare advice at your appointment.
Can I choose my jewellery?
Yes — all piercings include a titanium labret as standard. If you'd like to upgrade to a different style or material, just let us know when you book and we'll advise on what's suitable.
