PIERCINGS
Piercings
Do you use a piercing gun?
Absolutely not! Danielle uses a cannula needle. This type of needle has a plastic sheath around it. After piercing the skin she will then pull out the needle & the plastic sheath will be left in the piercing. The plastic sheath makes the transfer of the jewelry very quick.
She has also been told by clients that this type of needle hurts less!
What piercings do you currently offer?
Currently Danielle is only doing Earlobes, Tragus, & Helix piercings. She will be offering more in the future! Stay tuned for updates about free piercing opportunity for her to practice!
Aftercare
The area may be sore, red, & slightly swollen for a few days.
Do NOT touch your piercings with bare hands.
Do wash your hands before touching your piercings with a Q tip.
Do clean with antibacterial soap(dial foam soap) and sterile saline solution.
Do NOT pick scabs.
Do NOT spin your piercing!
Do contact us if your piercing develops a bump. Bumps will usually go away with time. They are usually caused by trauma, jewelry getting snagged, rubbed, bumped, etc.
Do NOT change the jewelry out before the given time frame.
Do NOT submerge your piercing in a hot tub, bath, or swimming pool/ocean.
Some piercings can take up to a year to fully heal. So be patient with your piercing & take care of it properly!

FAQ’s
What type of jewelry do you use?
Danielle uses quality Stainless steel or Titanium jewelry. We currently do not carry any jewelry for retail sale.
Do you pierce children?
We currently do not pierce anyone under the age of 18.
Do I need to downsize my jewelry when that time comes?
Yes! Downsizing the length of your post once the swelling has gone down is extremely important for the health and longevity of your piercing. If left too long, it can cause irritation & angling of the piercing which may result in permanent scar tissue. Further irritation/trauma can cause piercing bumps.
Do I need an appointment?
We are primarily appointment only! Please read our cancellation policy before booking!
HOW DO YOU STERILIZE YOUR EQUIPMENT?
Everything we use is single use and disposable! We do not autoclave needles and we use disposable clamps. If you have any sanitary questions feel free to ask your artist/piercer. Feel free to watch your piercer open the new needle while they prepare to pierce you!
