Prep for your Piercing!

Here are some tips on having the best piercing experience!

We love the idea of bringing your curated ear to life, so seeing your overall vision will help us prepare and map out your piercing journey properly to produce the BEST results. Start saving photos of earstacks and inspiration, just like you would for your hairstylist, so we can visualize and recommend the right piercings and jewellery for you!

Everyone heals differently. Please have a clear understanding of your medical history and also, your experience with past piercings. Did you have a previous piercing reject the healing process or jewellery? Did you experience excessive pain or bleeding? Do you tend to scar easily or have history with keloids. Let's avoid making any of the same mistakes together!

Familiarize yourself with our Aftercare Guidelines and make sure you're scheduling your piercing appointment at a good time in your current day to day life! In addition, stock up and prep your essentials on your vanity table so that they are ready to go!

If you're already a piercing veteran, take some time to thoroughly clean both your existing piercings and jewelry prior to your appointment. Once you have your fresh piercings in, your ears may be tender, and you might not be able to clean your existing piercings as thoroughly as you would like! Also, a clean ear is a much better environment for your new piercings to heal in!

It's important to not get pierced on an empty stomach! So eat a snack or two before you arrive. However, try to avoid both sugar and caffeine which can affect bleeding and the start of healing during your initial piercing. 

We know - this sounds like a simple thing, but what we really mean is if possible, wear your hair clean and smoothed away from your ear area on the day of your appointment! This will allow us to pierce your ears - especially fun ones like the helix, flat and conch - without hair getting caught in the jewelry. Think clean girl aesthetic : a slicked back bun or ponytail.
