Frequently Asked Questions
can minors be pierced at your studio?
no, we do not pierce minors
can I bring my own jewelry?
in short..no. Many times jewelry that one buys from a store may not be suitable for initial piercings. In order for us to pierce you we must know exactly the type of material, company, and mill certifications. Also, many times jewelry is hand made, and may break during the sterilization process. We would be heartbroken if we were to damage a piece that has sentimental value.
how long should one wait to change out their JuLry?
we recommend waiting two months before your first JuLry swap. It is always better to have a professional help you the first time so that they can give you some helpful tips and tricks on how to get comfortable with changing it on your own in the future. When it comes to changing your JuLry to a ring for the first time, we recommend a six month wait. "Did they say six months?!?!" we know that sounds like a long time, but we want to make sure that your piercing is well healed before making the transition to a ring.
what should one use to keep a healing piercing clean?
when it comes to cleaning your fresh piercing, less is more! Sterile saline solution works well to soothe and keep your piercing free of debris. You can also use a non scented anti-microbial soap and gently wash around the area and throughly rinse it clean. It is recommend to stay away from harsh cleaners like alcohol or peroxide. Avoid the use of first aid products such as neosporin and bactine.

can you go swimming after getting a fresh piercing?
NO! It is a very good idea to avoid communal bodies of water for one month after getting a new piercing done. That includes lakes, oceans, swimming pools, hot tubs and saunas.
is my piercing infected?
often times one can mistake an infection with irritation. Infections can only be diagnosed by a doctor and must be addressed properly, and they tend to be excruciating with a fever.
Irritation can appear as skin redness or a small bump. Seldom a slight discharge. If you are concerned with the healing of your piercing you are welcome to come in so we can take a look. Do not remove the JuLry if you feel you have an infection as it may encapsulate bacteria and make it worse.
