For any service that is not an initial piercing we do not require valid ID (you may be asked for age verification) and appointments are optional. 

If you need need time or assistance in choosing new jewelry an appointment would be recommended so you have dedicated time towards shopping and the assist with install. If you want to stretch your ears to a larger size or need help installing jewelry in a piercing that has been out for some time and appointment would be recommended to have enough time set aside for the service.

We typically do not install jewelry that was not purchased previously at the studio. We have some parameters for exceptions including brand and material recognition, however there are not guarantees until it is seen in person. Any jewelry brought in must be in good condition and free of scratches or tool marks. We are unable to fix broken jewelry unless it is under a manufacturers warranty which may be limited.

We only install jewelry in fully healed and healthy piercings. For any piercing that is under a year old please contact us in advance for our heal times to make sure your piercing can be safely changed. We do not change or remove piercings that are irritated or possibly infected, please schedule a consult with a piercer for counsel on healing the piercing properly.
