Frequently Asked Questions

We have a Think 21 policy and will ask for valid photographic ID.  Please ensure that this is valid and brought with you to your appointment; a photograph of your ID will not be accepted. 

Forms of ID accepted - Young Scots Card (only with the hologram), Passport, Provisional/Current driving licence. 

Anyone under the age of 16 years old is classed as a minor and therefore need parental consent for any piercing. Parental consent is either biological Mum or Dad.  I'm afraid that we can't accept older siblings, grandparents, or step parents.

If you are under the care of someone who is not your biological parent, then at the point of the appointment you must present legal paperwork to state that the person who is signing your consent is your legal guardian.  i.e. Social Services paperwork, legal guardianship etc.  Without it I'm afraid we can not pierce you.

 Prices include sterile titanium grade 23 jewellery as standard, however there is a collection of jewellery available for you to upgrade your new piercing to something more special.

 We do not, all appointments are bookings only. 

In one appointment you can get 3 piercings or 4 if they are all lobe. 

Ear lobes are the quickest to heal, if you follow all the after care advice given to you they are likely to heal in around 6 weeks. 

Cartilage piercings (includes Rook, Tragus, Helix, Snug, Daith, Conch, Scaffold etc) takes longer and can be anything between 3 - 6 months. 

Titanium is incredibly safe for piercings. It’s 100% nickel free and hypoallergenic so it won’t irritate sensitive skin. It’s also resistant to bacterial and fungal growth, helping to reduce the risk of infection. 

No, we have to pierce with jewellery that we have sourced and sterilised for insurance purposes 

Ear lobe piercings are typically the least painful on the ear because it's fleshy. 

Cartilage is much thicker and piercings to the Tragus and Daith are often considered the most painful.

However, pain is completely unique and different people find different piercings more painful than others. We recommend you choose the piercing that you really want rather than what may hurts the least.

If your piercing has completely fallen out please send us a message. If you have the back in and have lost the ball please try to secure it in place with a plaster or medical tape until you can come in to get the ball replaced. 

 Anytime after 6 weeks when the bar has a considerable amount of room to shorten and there's no swelling, bumps or migration.
