Our Services

Body Piercing

Precision, high-quality jewelry, and strict safety standards make for piercings we're proud to perform and results you'll love. We'll guide you through the whole process to make sure your experience is as smooth and comfortable as possible.

Check ups & Downsizing

We'll typically want to see you back about 4-6 weeks after your piercing. At this time, we can shorten studs, as needed, as the initial swelling starts to go down. Don't hesitate to call or visit us if you're having problems anytime throughout the healing process.

Body Jewelry

We offer a curated selection of high-quality body jewelry designed for comfort, durability, and style. We will explore all the jewelry options together and help you choose a style that fits your piercing and personality. In the meantime, check out what we have available online.

Kids’ Earlobe Piercings
We require appointments for children between the ages of 5 and 12. An appointment ensures we have the time to create a safe and comfortable experience for your child.

Not all piercers work with kids as young as 5. Please call us to verify the piercer working will be able to pierce your child.
Walk-ins & Appointments
We take appointments and welcome walk-ins 7 day a week. Even if there is no online availability, chances are good we can see you as a walk-in.

Appointments are seen before walk-ins. Walk-ins are seen as time between appointments allows. Please contact the studio for info on availability and approximate wait-times.
Aftercare & Healing
Healing times vary from piercing to piercing and person to person. Many piercings take around 6 months to heal, but some take longer. Your piercer will discuss healing for you specific piercing.

To help your piercing heal smoothly, we recommend that you: use Neilmed saline solution as instructed by your piercer, avoid touching or messing with your piercing, and do not go swimming until your piercing is fully healed.

Remember to come back and see us for a downsize, and reach out if you have questions. We are here to help.

He was super friendly & awesome! He explained the whole process step by step. He made this experience so comfortable. I’m definitely coming back for any future piercings!
