Process

How it works

  1. 01

    Choice

    We choose the placement and jewellery together; we won't suggest a placement that doesn't suit your anatomy.

  2. 02

    Marking

    The point is marked and we only go ahead once you approve it.

  3. 03

    Piercing

    Sterile single-use needle. We never use piercing guns.

  4. 04

    Follow-up

    You get aftercare instructions; we recommend your first jewellery change at the studio.

What affects the price?

  • Placement.
  • Jewellery material (titanium, implant-grade steel).
  • Jewellery style and size.

For an exact price, send your idea or a photo of your existing tattoo on WhatsApp; we don't quote without seeing it.

Good to know

  • Titanium contains no nickel, so the risk of irritation is lower.
  • Earlobes heal in 6–8 weeks; cartilage and nose in 3–6 months.
  • Don't remove the jewellery while healing; clean it with sterile saline.
  • No pool, sea or sauna for the first 3 weeks.

FAQ

Related questions

How long does a piercing take to heal?

Earlobes 6–8 weeks; cartilage, helix and nose 3–6 months, and some areas up to a year. Don't take the jewellery out during this time — the hole can close within hours. Clean it twice a day with sterile saline, and don't touch or twist it. Don't sleep on it, and keep hairspray, perfume and makeup away from it.

When can I change my piercing jewellery?

Not before it has fully healed. Changing early irritates the channel and restarts the healing. It's safest to have the first change done at the studio. Make sure the jewellery is implant-grade steel or titanium; cheap alloys contain nickel and are the most common cause of irritation and allergy.

What do you do about hygiene?

We use single-use needles and sterile cartridges for every procedure. Ink is poured into a separate cup for each client. Reusable equipment goes through the autoclave. If you're curious about anything, just ask — we're happy to show you.

Which health conditions should I tell you about?

Pregnancy and breastfeeding, diabetes, blood thinners or regular aspirin, psoriasis, eczema, a tendency to keloids and any known ink allergy — tell us about all of these before you come. We'll decide together whether the procedure can be done and whether a doctor's approval is needed. Your period isn't an obstacle, but your pain threshold may be lower then; for a sensitive area, moving the date may be more comfortable.
