Yes. Upon checkout, please select the ‘add another service’ onto your booking, even if this service is for someone else. I provide consent forms at the appointment for other people who are not making the initial booking.

A consultation gives us the opportunity to discuss your piercing, check anatomy and agree on placement. If everything is ok, I am happy to proceed with the piercing at the end of the consultation process.

Please contact me directly. An appointment will be arranged where we go over your anatomy, placement, jewellery options and cost. Please be aware, some curations can take years to complete, patience is required but good things come to those who wait!

If the appointment is for an adult, I always advise coming alone or with a friend/family member. Space is limited but children are welcome in this space if no childcare options are available.
-
I pierce children’s lobes from the age of 8 years old. Appointments for under 13’s are ALWAYS consultations only. If I feel confident that your child can sit through needle piercings and are also comfortable themselves, I am more than happy to proceed with the piercings at the end of the consultation.
-
I will accept passports and driving license. For children, I will accept birth certificates providing the accompanying adult provides their photo ID with matching surnames.
I will not proceed with under 18 appointments unless you can provide valid ID. Charges will apply.
-
Piercings are varied and have a different healing journey but usually around 6-12 months. Healing is not linear. Many things can prolong healing but please follow the aftercare provided to you on the day of your appointment.
-
Yes. Please provide up to date bank details at the time of your booking and I can use those details to checkout at the end of the appointment. If you incur extra charges such as upgrades, more piercings or aftercare, I can add this onto your booking at the end of your appointment.
Cash preferred.
-
Yes. If you would like multiple ear piercings, please select one of the multiple options (x2 lobes/x2 cartilage/x3 cartilage or lobe mix) as these prices include a discount. Booking separately will go through my booking system as full price.
-
No. Full payment is required once your consultation/piercing is complete.
For curation appointments, I require at least half of the cost before your appointment and the remainder can be paid at the end of your curation appointment.
-
I pierce navels from the age of 14 years. You must be able to provide a valid ID at the appointment.
-
I pierce cartilage from the age of 14 years. You must be able to provide a valid ID at the appointment.
-
I pierce facial piercings from the age of 16 years. You must be able to provide a valid ID at the appointment.
-
I am not qualified to perform any intimate piercings and therefore this is not a service I offer.
-
Downsizing is something most piercings will need after the 6-8 week point after the initial piercing.
I fit a longer bar to accommodate maximum swelling. Once this swelling has fully subsided, I recommend booking a downsizing appointment. During this appointment, I will remove the longer bars and replace with short, or perfectly sized bars. I recommend keeping these in for another 6-8weeks before changing.
-
For new piercings, I have to use the jewellery I have purchased from trusted suppliers, which is then sterilised by myself. This is to maintain safe practices within my clinic and also for insurance purposes.
For fully healed piercings, I am happy to fit jewellery purchased outside of my clinic space.
PLEASE NOTE- I bare no responsibility for any jewellery purchased outside of my clinic. Any issues with the jewellery itself MUST be taken up with the manufacturer.
