Piercings we do
Ear piercings
Standard and stacked lobes, helix, conch, rook and tragus. Many clients build a curated ear one or two piercings at a time, and we'll help you plan placements that work with your ear's shape.
Ear stretching
Stretched lobes take patience. Size up gradually, and only once the current size is fully healed, to avoid tearing or scarring. Stop by and we'll check where you are and what size makes sense next.
Nose and navel piercings
Nostril studs and rings, and navel piercings with jeweled barbells. Navel piercings heal best on a fit that doesn't rub against your waistband, so we'll look at placement with you before we start.
Dermal anchors
A dermal is a single-point piercing: a small anchor sits under the skin with a decorative top on the surface. Popular spots include the cheek, chest, back of the neck, lower back and collarbone.
Why the jewelry matters
A fresh piercing is an open wound with metal sitting in it for months. Implant-grade titanium and solid 14k or higher gold are the materials made for that job. Cheap plated jewelry can contain nickel, a common cause of irritation, redness and slow healing. That's why every piercing at the studio starts with quality jewelry, even standard lobes.
Approximate healing times
- Ear lobes: about 6–8 weeks
- Helix, conch, rook and tragus (cartilage): about 6–12 months
- Nostril: about 4–6 months
- Navel: about 6–12 months
Everyone heals differently, and a piercing can look healed on the outside before it is healed inside. When in doubt, come by and we'll take a look.
Piercing aftercare
Follow the aftercare instructions you're given at your appointment. In general: clean the piercing with sterile saline once or twice a day, keep your hands off it, don't twist or turn the jewelry, avoid pools, lakes and hot tubs while it heals, and don't sleep on a fresh cartilage piercing. Leave the jewelry in until it's fully healed.
Piercing Questions
What jewelry do you use for piercings?
Every piercing is performed with implant-grade titanium jewelry or 14k or higher gold jewelry, from standard lobes to helix, conch, navel, nose, dermals and stretching.
Can minors get pierced?
Piercing rules for minors require a parent or legal guardian present with ID. Call or text (817) 559-8430 to ask about the current minor piercing policy before you come in.
Do you take walk-ins for piercings?
Yes, walk-ins are welcome whenever the piercer is free. Call or text ahead if you want to make sure someone is available.
How long does a helix piercing take to heal?
Cartilage piercings like the helix, conch, rook and tragus usually take about 6 to 12 months to fully heal, and sometimes longer. Lobes are much quicker, usually around 6 to 8 weeks.
When can I change my piercing jewelry?
Wait until the piercing is fully healed before switching to new jewelry. Many piercings also need a shorter post once the early swelling goes down, so check with your piercer before changing anything.
How much does a piercing cost?
Price depends on the piercing and the jewelry you choose. Call or text (817) 559-8430 for a quote.
