Q: I am not 18 yet, can I still get a piercing?
A: Individuals under 18 years of age are prohibited from receiving a body piercing unless prior consent is granted by the person’s parent or legal guardian. In addition, the parent or legal guardian of an individual under 18 years of age must be physically present at the time of the procedure and show evidence that they are in fact the parent or legal guardian of the individual receiving the body piercing. (Texas DSHS). For minors we request Parent ID, Minor ID, Proof of guardianship (Birth Cert.) & insist on purchasing Aftercare products package.
Q: How many piercings can I get at one time?
A: Our recommendation is that you do not want to have more than 4 piercings healing at one time. The more locations you have healing, generally the more difficult it is for them to heal. For this reason, it's also not advisable to get pierced while sick or recovering from major surgeries, etc.
Q: How do I prepare for a piercing?
A: Get some rest, stay hydrated, and be sure to eat a few hours before getting pierced. The better you feel, the easier the process will be!
Q: Can I see the piercer for help changing my jewelry?
A: Yes! Changing jewelry is a regular part of our job, and if your piercing isn't healed yet, we definitely would prefer you see us for help changing the jewelry so you don't irritate the piercing. We love seeing our clients and also getting to check up on how your piercings are doing!
Q: I’m having a problem with my piercing/ I am concerned about my piercing but I don’t want to bother the piercer.
A: If you’re having trouble with a new or existing piercing, getting in touch with the piercer for assistance is the best first step. It is not a bother at all, and part of our job is assisting with troubleshooting.
Q: Can a plus-size person get a navel piercing?
A: When looking at someone's navel to determine if they can be pierced, we are looking for a defined lip or shelf through which to place a piercing, how much room is in the navel itself for jewelry, as well as how your navel changes shape while you move. People of all body types can get their navel pierced, as it depends more on the shape and structure of the navel than someone's size. Additionally, there are people of all body types who may not have the anatomy to support a navel piercing. The only way to determine for sure whether your navel is able to be pierced successfully is an in-person consultation.

Q: Can I get pierced while pregnant?
A: No. In many city’s and states it is illegal to perform a piercing on someone who is pregnant. Even healed piercings can become finicky during pregnancy as your hormones change and your body devotes its resources to the pregnancy. A new piercing is more likely to have trouble healing during pregnancy.
Q: Can I get a new piercing while still breastfeeding?
A: We recommend that you'll want to wait at least 3 months postpartum before getting a new piercing.
Note: This applies to all piercings except nipples. For nipple piercings, you should wait until lactation has ceased.
Q: Will nipple piercings impact my ability to breastfeed?
A: Generally, nipple piercings itself are not known to interfere with breastfeeding; however, it is best practice and recommended to remove your jewelry for the entire time you plan to breastfeed, since jewelry will need to be removed during actual feedings.. Nipple piercings tend to close up relatively quickly when jewelry is removed so taking out and reinserting the jewelry not recommended during breastfeeding.
Q: Can I keep my navel jewelry in during pregnancy?
A: You may be able to keep jewelry in your navel while pregnant, although many people find that it is uncomfortable to do so. Wearing jewelry throughout your pregnancy may cause your piercing to stretch out a bit as your navel stretches. Additionally, some people experience discoloration and scarring as a result of leaving jewelry in place during pregnancy. The good thing about navel piercings is that they tend to stick around once healed, so we can likely reinsert the jewelry for you postpartum without much issue.
