Everything you need to know before your piercing appointment
Pain and healing
Let's be honest; piercings are uncomfortable to have done!
However, the discomfort only lasts about 2-3 seconds and most clients describe it as a quick pinch.
We take all possible steps to minimise discomfort, including the world's sharpest needles and using the most up to date techniques.
Healing piercings is a long process, but, when done right it should be a smooth one.
Generally soft tissue piercings such as lobes, navels, nipples, eyebrows and lips are inflamed for about 2 weeks and heal within 3-4 months.
Cartilage such as upper ear piercings and nostril piercings are generally inflamed for about 4 weeks and heal within 6-9 months.We are committed to providing exceptional care for our clients. We are always here to help during the entire process.
You can contact us with any questions or concerns you may have for expert advice.
