Piercing is not only an art, it's a science. Because there are many components that contribute to a successful piercing including placement, jewelery size, style, and material, and proper aftercare, it is important that your piercer be well trained, skilled, and experienced. Our piercers use only high quality hypo-allergenic surgical steel, titanium, or niobium to ensure that your piercing will heal quickly and safely. For the same reason we only use captive bead rings or circular barbells in most initial piercings. Unlike tattoos,there is no age limitation on piercing in NY state, however in Suffolk County we are requiredto keep a notorized letter from a parent or guardian on file for anyone under 18. We would be happy to answer any questions you might have, so please don't hesitate to ask!
