1. Does getting a piercing hurt?
Discomfort varies by individual and placement, but most clients describe it as brief and manageable. The procedure is quick, and the sensation fades afterward.
2. Do I need to show ID?
Yes. Anyone being pierced must show valid government identification.
(Passport, Drivers License, Birth certificate*, Ontario Photo ID Card, Status Card, Nexus, Firearm License)
3. Can minors get pierced?
Yes, but they must have a parent or legal guardian present. Certain piercings may have age restrictions and we do not pierce children under 8 years old. The individual receiving their piercing as well as the parent/guardian must present identification.
4. What kind of payment do you accept?
We accept Debit and all major credit cards including American Express.
5. Do you use piercing guns?
No. We only use single-use sterile needles, which are safer, more precise, and reduce tissue trauma compared to piercing guns.
6. Is it safe?
Yes. As a nurse, our piercer ensure that she follows strict medical-grade sterilization protocols, infection prevention standards, and is CPR certified and up-to-date on bloodborne pathogen safety.
7. How long does healing take?
Healing depends on the piercing location:
8. What jewelry do you use?
We use high-quality implant-grade titanium for most piercings, and solid 14k or 18k gold options are available. Jewelry is sold individually and must be purchased from our clinic.
9. Can I bring in my own jewelry to be pierced with?
For health and safety, we will only pierce you with jewelry purchased from our clinic.
10. Can I change my jewelry during healing?
No. Jewelry should remain in place until your piercing has sufficiently healed.
11. What if I notice redness, swelling, or discharge?
Some mild redness, swelling, or discharge is normal early on. If symptoms persist, worsen, or you suspect infection, contact our clinic immediately.
12. Can I get multiple piercings at once?
Yes, multiple piercings can be done in one appointment if safe and appropriate for your anatomy. Your piercer will advise on placement and spacing.
13. Can I take medications before my piercing?
If you are taking blood thinners, anti-inflammatories or anti-biotics, consult your doctor before your appointment. Avoid alcohol and recreational drugs for 24 hours prior, and eat a light meal beforehand.
