Yes. Jewelry is included with all piercings, however, you may bring your own jewelry if it is 316L surgical steel, titanium, solid sterling silver or solid gold (no gold plated jewelry and no acrylic jewelry). Jewelry may not have attachments that move or dangle and must be the proper gauge. There will be an additional wait time as we will need to properly sterilize the jewelry prior to piercing. Bringing your own jewelry will not change the price of the piercing.

No. We do not use piercing guns for any piercing. All piercings are performed with sterile piercing needles and clamps.

Our prices are the lowest price in the area because of the high volume of piercings we do. We buy in bulk the same as a store like Walmart buys in bulk.
