When it comes to Body Piercing, we take particular pride in the level of expertise that we have acquired. You will find few other piercing studios that take as much care and responsibility in the advice and service that they offer. This has often meant that we have "lost the business" because we recommend against a particular procedure or advise caution.
Our piercers are put through an extensive training program, and only when they have reached a superior level of experience and understanding are they permitted to pierce on their own in one our studios.
In the past we have sat on advisory committees to health departments and local governments and have been instrumental in setting both procedural and ethical standards for the industry.
Our studios:
- Are regularly inspected by the health department and we take particular care in following correct procedures to ensure the cleanest possible studios
- Offer a sterile and comfortable environment
- All have Autoclave Sterilization
- Are run by friendly, experienced and caring staff who will offer aftercare advice and instructions before, during and after the piercing
- Use new needles for every client
We also offer an extensive range of Body Jewellery that is on display at each of our stores. and if we don't have what you're looking for we can usually get it within a few days.
If you are considering having a piercing done, please read the facts below
Go to a registered shop
Make sure that the piercing shop you plan to use is registered with their local council. A 'certificate of registration' should be available for viewing.
To comply with health regulations
- The shop must be kept clean and hygienic
- Instruments and jewellery used to pierce the skin must be sterile
- The operator must have no exposed cuts or wounds and their clothes must be clean.
Before having a body piercing
- Some operators (piercers) have age restrictions and often ask for parental consent if you are under eighteen. Most reputable piercers will not pierce the genital area of people under eighteen years of age
- If a piercer says no to piercing you, it is because they have your best interests in mind. Often when this happens, people resort to 'backyard' piercers, do it themselves or get their friends to help them. This is not advisable as these people aren't trained, and the risks of complications and infection are increased dramatically
- If you have a medical condition (e.g. bleeding disorder, asthma) you should let the piercer know. If you are unsure if your medical condition may affect the piercing procedure you should always ask your doctor beforehand.
