What to Expect During Your Piercing Appointment
When you walk into our New York City studio, you can expect a professional, comfortable, and enjoyable experience. Here’s how the process works:
Consultation & Selection
Your piercing journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with our expert piercer. We’ll discuss your desired piercing, assess your anatomy to ensure the best placement, and guide you through our collection of high-quality jewelry, including titanium, gold, and silver options. Our goal is to help you choose a style that complements your look and promotes proper healing.
Skin Preparation
Before the piercing process begins, the selected area is thoroughly disinfected to remove any bacteria or debris. Our piercer will mark the placement with precision, allowing you to approve the final position before moving forward. This step ensures the piercing is aligned correctly and enhances both aesthetics and healing.
The Piercing Process
Once you’re ready, our piercer will use a sterile, single-use needle to complete the procedure with precision and efficiency. We prioritize a calm and professional environment to ensure minimal discomfort and optimal results. Whether it’s a cartilage, tragus, nose, or lip piercing, our team ensures a smooth and quick process.
Aftercare Instructions
Proper aftercare is crucial for healing, and we’ll provide you with detailed instructions tailored to your specific body piercing. From recommended cleaning solutions to common healing timelines, we’ll equip you with everything needed to keep your new piercing looking and feeling its best. We’re also available for follow-up questions and jewelry changes as your piercing heals.
Body Piercing Aftercare & Healing Times
Proper aftercare is essential for a smooth healing process. To keep your piercing clean and healthy, it’s important to rinse it twice daily with a saline solution and avoid unnecessary touching, twisting, or pressure from sleeping on it. Factors like individual skin type and overall health can influence healing time, but here’s a general guideline of what to expect:
- Earlobe piercing: 6-8 weeks
- Cartilage & tragus piercing: 4-12 months
- Lip & nose piercing: 2-3 months
- Navel piercing: 6-12 months
- Tongue piercing: 4-8 weeks
