Body Piercing FAQ’s

It is recommended that you do. Although we try to accommodate for walk ins when we can, our piercer is also a tattooist and can be held up in an appointment for hours. To ensure you can grab a spot, it's best for you to book ahead of time.

For most piercings you need to be 16years or older and provide photo identification such as a licence or passport.
For more advanced piercings such as, but not limited to: Dermals, industrials, staples, dahlias, bridges etc We ask that you bring a parent with you if you are under the age of 18. For genital and intimate piercings you need to be 18years of age.

We ask that the parents or legal guardians provide photo ID, as well as a Medicare card with both theirs and the child's name on it. For any and all piercings outside of earlobes, we ask that the guardian also provides ID for the child such as a school ID, or passport. In some cases a birth certificate may be accepted.

We carry almost exclusively implant grade titanium, which is both nickel and copper free, as well as being hypo-allergenic. It is THE safest material for body piercing purposes. We also carry nickel free hypo-allergenic 14kt gold pieces, please ask our staff ahead of time if you are interested in this option.
We use both internally threaded and threaded titanium jewellery. If you have a preference please let our piercer know. We have a wide range of jewellery available with both genuine semi precious stones, and high quality cubic zirnconia stones. Please set aside some time before your appointment to look at the options.

Unfortunately not, as this is a biohazard and presents an opportunity for cross-contamination. We can set aside consultations for you in which our piercer uses the correct tools to safely show you an example of what jewellery would look like on you; this needs to be booked separately from your piercing appointment. We also ask that when you enter the studio, you refrain from touching any of the jewellery/displays, and also, PLEASE refrain from touching your own existing piercings /jewellery as this is also a cross-contamination hazard.

This time frame may vary for specific piercings but as a general rule; we recommend you stay out of the water (showers the exception) for 4-6 weeks.

Although we do not offer warranties for our pieces, we do understand that there may be faulty stock from time to time. Generally, if a piece was to fall out within the first 1-2 weeks of being installed, our piercer will be amendable to replacing this item for you. However, this is treated as a case by case basis and we do ask that you provide the faulty piece for us to assess so we can arrange with our supplies to also replace this piece for us. It is important to remember that you are also responsible for the long term care for your jewellery. Whether it is internally threaded or threadless, it is advised that you check that all your jewellery is secure at least once a week or fortnight.

If you suspect your piercing is infected, you need to seek medical attention right away. You're more than welcome to message our piercer for advice, but legally we have to advise you to seek medical attention first and foremost.
