PIERCINGS 

All piercings are done only with NEEDLE & TITANIUM* jewelery . 

For each customer we use pre-steriled or one time use equipment , one time use needle and pre-steriled jewelery .

Multi-use piercing equipment must be sterilized in an autoclave. autoclaving is an industry practice that uses pressure and steam to completely sterilize—kill all the bacteria .

We don't use piercing guns!

Piercings done with a needle are likely to heal faster than those done with a piercing gunPiercing guns use force to pierce you with a blunt stud which leaves a jagged incision (and possibly some bruising), while a sharp needle leaves a neat incision that will heal more easily.

*Titanium is often seen as the absolute best material for piercing, since it is hypoallergenic, incredibly shiny, and basically never mixed with other metals.

PLEASE LEAVE YOUR FEEDBACK about your experience with our tattoo artists , piercer or reception team.

Could not recommend Vee enough. Went to her for my first tattoo and ended up having 2 done in one session. Put me at complete ease, was happy to do multiple stencils, so professional from start to finish! Can’t recommend enough! Will be back x
