Will you pierce my infants ears?
-
Nope. When your child is old enough to start showing an interest in wanting their earlobes pierced, we are more than happy to do this for you. This can be a great experience for everyone if you wait until they’re ready for piercings. We regularly pierce the earlobes of kiddos starting at age 2-3 if they’re excited about it and their parents are ready for the additional care.
Infants are unable to resist touching and pulling on their piercings or ask for help if they need it.
Would we clean & use your previously worn jewelry for your new piercing?
.
Nope 1.
Even if your jewelry is of excellent quality, and from our studio, if it has been worn and well-loved, it is no longer in brand new quality. It may have tiny scratches or scuffs from regular wear and tear or from being placed in a jewelry box with other items. These tiny imperfections could cause irritations and complications for the new piercing. We want your piercings to heal beautifully and so should you :-) Your excellent quality spare parts and absolutely be worn again when your piercing is happily healed.

Nope 2.
There is no way for us to be 100% positive that the used jewelry has only been worn by you. Sharing jewelry that has been previously worn by anyone else is dangerous. It simply can not be cleaned thoroughly enough to be completely sterilized (by autoclave or other methods), so potentially infectious germs from the previous wearer will grow back within hours of reprocessing.
Prion, bacterial, fungal, and viral infection and disease can be spread from person to person because of protein residues on previously worn body jewelry.
There is not yet a sufficiently effective technology for cleaning items that are in prolonged human contact for reuse in another person.

Will we use your jewelry from elsewhere, online, the mall, etc. in your new piercing?
Nope. We want your piercing(s) to heal with as few complications as possible. Even after we perform the piercing safely and give you proper aftercare advice to follow, if you’re wearing inferior jewelry, you’re bound to have issues. We cannot in good conscience use your outside jewelry for new piercings.
There is no “One size fits all” jewelry for any type of piercing. The piece that you bought online or at the novelty store in the mall is likely not going to fit well and cause discomfort. It’s best to be custom fitted with appropriately sized jewelry to suit YOUR specific anatomy. We offer FREE custom fitting with any new jewelry purchase to ensure a safe fit.
All of the jewelry used for new piercings at our studio is nickel-free, hypoallergenic, biocompatible even if you are sensitive to most metals. It is safe to wear in piercings for prolonged periods of time decades and decades ;-)
Our threaded jewelry is warrantied against manufacturer defects like threads stripping or breaking. Each piece of jewelry is meticulously hand polished to a mirror-like surface finish to allow easier healing.
