Every Piercing Has Its Own Considerations

One of the most interesting things about piercing is the variety of placements and jewelry styles available.

Ear Piercings

Ear piercings range from simple lobe piercings to helix, conch, rook, and forward helix placements.

Customers interested in an ear stack can explore combinations of studs and hoops, but placement must be based on anatomy and available space.

Nose Piercings

Nostril and septum piercings each require appropriate placement and jewelry.

A piercer should assess your anatomy and explain how the jewelry will sit, how swelling may affect the initial fit, and what aftercare is required.

Dermal and Other Body Piercings

Dermal, navel, nipple, and intimate piercings involve different risks and healing requirements.

Some placements are unsuitable for certain anatomies. Specialized piercings should only be performed by a piercer with relevant training and experience, and some services may not be available at every studio.

I believe being honest about suitability and limitations is part of responsible service.
