Piercing

ABOUT PIERCING

People choose to get piercings for various reasons. For some, it’s a form of body adornment; for others, it’s a way to express their image, mark a chapter in their life, satisfy curiosity, or push their personal boundaries.

At our studio, piercings are performed by an experienced, trained professional in a sterile and controlled environment. We use only needles/cannulas—never piercing guns. If you’re wondering why, we’ll be happy to explain why we strongly advise against using them.

We maintain exceptional hygiene standards, using sterile gloves, face masks, and specialized disinfectants. Our jewelry is made exclusively from Titanium T-G23 or Bioplast (PMFK/PTFE - polymer medical flexible plastic), following EU Directive 94/27/EC. All our jewelry is certified and brand new—never reused.

For better and faster healing, we use barbells or labrets for initial cartilage piercings (e.g., ear, nose) instead of rings.

If your piercing was done at our studio, jewelry shortening and replacements are free of charge (you only pay for a new jewelry if you don’t bring your own). If your piercing was done elsewhere, the service costs €10, covering materials and labor.


HOW TO PREPARE FOR PIERCING

  • Do not consume alcohol or drugs before your appointment.
  • Avoid coming in too hungry or overly full.
  • If you are sick (flu, cold, tonsillitis, etc.), wait until you recover—a weakened immune system can slow healing.
  • Pain levels vary, but staying calm and mentally prepared makes the process much easier.
  • If you have blood clotting disorders, heart problems, diabetes, or epilepsy, consult your doctor before getting pierced.
  • If you have metal or chemical allergies, inform us beforehand!



PAIN

Pain is subjective, so there’s no universal answer to whether a piercing will hurt. It depends on the placement, your pain tolerance, and your piercer’s expertise.

We don’t recommend taking advice from “experts” who have never had the piercing themselves but insist it will hurt. Also, avoid misleading online videos—many showcase poor practices. For accurate examples, check out our Instagram, TikTok and Youtube.

Many clients say the experience is quicker and easier than they imagined and it hurts less than you expect.


AGE REQUIREMENTS

  • 4-15 years old – Earlobe piercings only, with parental supervision.

This type of styling requires a personalized approach and time, so please make an appointment.

PIERCING AFTERCARE

  • A new piercing is essentially a wound with jewelry inside, so proper care is essential for a smooth healing process.
  • Always wash your hands with antibacterial soap before touching your piercing.
  • Do not twist, rotate, or move the jewelry unnecessarily—only gently shift it during cleaning when it’s well-moisturized.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to water—opt for quick showers instead of baths and avoid swimming pools, the sea, saunas, and jacuzzis.
  • Use an appropriate aftercare solution like Prontolind spray (available at our studio).
  • Clean your piercing twice a day. If there’s dried residue, use cotton swabs to carefully remove it.
  • A saline solution (which we provide if you don’t purchase Prontolind) is a great alternative for cleaning.
  • Do not use other antiseptics, tea tree oil, or creams, and be mindful of make-up around the area
  • Never change or remove the jewelry before the piercing is fully healed!
  • Mild swelling, redness, tenderness, and light discharge (lymph fluid) are normal in the early healing stage.
  • If your piercing is on your face or head, change your pillowcases frequently
  • For body piercings, wear comfortable, breathable clothing that won’t irritate the area.
  • Regularly check that the jewelry balls or ends are securely tightened.
  • Even after healing, clean your piercing occasionally to prevent buildup.
  • Healing Times (Approximate):
    Tongue – 4 weeks
    Earlobe – 6-8 weeks
    Cartilage (helix, conch, etc.) – 6-9 months

Unfortunately, no. The jewelry for the initial piercing must meet specific criteria such as the correct size, shape, and material, and it must be sterile. We only use high-quality jewelry made from certified materials, and that’s something we cannot verify with jewelry you bring.

The piercer will always choose the correct size and shape for your initial jewelry. However, you can choose the design. It’s no longer like in the past, when initial jewelry was just a simple barbell with balls in dark metal. With us, you can choose the color of the jewelry (silver, gold, black, or rose gold) and also the design of the ball (classic balls in silver, gold, or black, or a ball with a gemstone in various colors or opal balls).

The piercing price includes the piercing itself and the basic jewelry. Basic jewelry includes a barbell, labret, banana, or omega in silver. For a small additional fee, you can choose jewelry in gold or black, or with a gemstone or opal ball.

The healing time for a piercing is individual and depends on the type of piercing and aftercare. It can be from one month (for lobes, septum, or tongue) to 4-5 months (for ear cartilage, nostrils, or nipples). Some piercings require more time, such as the navel piercing, which can take 8-9 months to heal. Full healing means that the piercing channel is completely lined with new skin. If you’re unsure about your piercing’s healing process, feel free to contact us anytime!

Pain is very individual, and everyone perceives it differently. Some piercings may hurt more, while others less. Typically, those that don’t go through soft tissue (such as cartilage) are more painful. However, our piercers are very experienced and will perform the piercing quickly, precisely, and gently, minimizing pain.

We pierce all types of piercings only with a needle (cannula) and we strongly do not recommend or use piercing guns. Here’s why: A piercing gun cannot be properly sterilized, it can only be disinfected (which means it’s disinfected, not sterile!). The tissue is pierced with a sharp earring that doesn’t have a conical tip, so it tears the tissue, which may affect the healing process. Additionally, the jewelry used in piercing guns is universal and comes in one size, which can cause problems, such as swelling, after the piercing.

No, we don’t numb the tissue before piercing. The numbing creams used for tattoos, for example, don’t reach deep enough to numb the area enough for the piercing to be painless. And applying anesthesia to the tissue doesn’t make sense, as it’s essentially the same as the piercing itself.

For children aged 4 to 15, we pierce only ears, and a parent’s accompaniment is required. From the age of 16, we can pierce any type of piercing except for intimate piercings, nipple piercings, and microdermals (these types are done after the age of 18).

No, we do not pierce ears for babies or children under 4 years old. We believe that the decision to get earrings should be made by the child themselves. We pierce ears only for children who can sit on the chair by themselves, understand what is about to happen, and can prepare for the procedure.

Summer can bring higher humidity and sweating, which can interfere with the healing process and increase the risk of irritation or infection. Also, during the summer, you come into contact with water more often. This water can contain chemicals, bacteria, or other substances that may disrupt the healing process. Furthermore, sunlight and UV radiation can irritate the area around the piercing and slow healing. For summer, we definitely do not recommend getting a navel, nipple, or intimate piercing. Cartilage piercings should also be avoided because heat and moisture tend to make them swell more, which could prolong the healing time.

Our piercer will explain the full aftercare to you during your appointment. You will also receive printed aftercare instructions to take with you. Alternatively, you can find them on our website – click here.

Yes, you can purchase Prontolind spray (6€) from us, which we recommend mainly for fresh piercings. However, you can also use it for healed piercings for regular cleaning.
