BODY PIERCING SERVICES
Our resident piercer, Angiee, is very passionate about her work, and in turn, will never do a piercing she does not feel can be done safely and precisely. As of now, all our piercings occur on a walk-in-only basis, so give us a call ahead of time to make sure we have availability on the day in question. Angiee is available from Thursday-Saturday from 1 pm to 8 pm.
What Is a Body Piercing?
A piercing is a hole or puncture of sorts made by a needle through a layer of tissue that jewelry is able to fit through and safely remain while the piercing heals. Many people pierce their noses, ears, lips, or naval, but piercing comes in many forms and styles from oral piercings, to surface anchor pieces embedded into the skin.
If you are 18 years of age or older please bring a valid government-issued photo ID such as a state ID, driver’s license, or passport. A learner’s permit is not a valid ID.
If you are a minor (14-17 yrs old) we require your birth certificate and one of your parent’s valid photo IDs. For guardians of minors, we require a court-issued statement that you are the legal guardian.
What's the Procedure Like?
The licensed piercer will wash his or her hands with antibacterial soap and water and wear clean, fresh gloves to ensure a clean and sterile environment.
The area to be pierced (except for the tongue which is cleaned with a form of Listerine) is cleaned with alcohol or another type of antiseptic. All needles and equipment used are fully sterilized prior to the procedure.
Your skin is then punctured with a very sharp, sterile, single-use needle, and the sterile jewelry is then placed into the hole created. The piercing is then cleaned of any blood, and you will receive aftercare instructions.
If you have any questions after you leave the shop, our staff is more than willing to help you out if you stop in or give us a call.
