We are only able to pierce with our own jewellery as we pierce with the actual stud making the process less painful and hassle free and these special piercing nose piercings are coming in sterile cartilages that need to be placed onto our device. However, we carry a lovely selection with us to every appointment including colourful stone set pieces to ensure everybody can find one that suits them the best. 

We are piercing with none of the above. All our piercers are using an alternative system and here is why. Guns are outdated, pose risks and they are difficult to clean hence not exactly sterile. They work using a strong snapping force created by an actual gun-like machine when pulling the trigger. They can cause tissue damage and pose risks of infection. Needles are sterile but there are risks including safety as it is a bare needle out in the air. Also, after making the hole with a needle the piercing needs to be placed in and the back needs to be secured which can be a painful.

 Our piercing device works entirely by the force of the hand of the piercer, there is nothing else inside it but a spring that enables the professional piercer to use the special piercing jewellery just like a needle, push it through the ear and securing the back with the same movement, without having to touch it. It is basically just like a needle but with safety precautions and the comfort of placing and closing the jewellery with one push. The piercing jewellery is in a sterile cartilage and it is opened in front of our client. It is placed into the mechanism without the jewellery itself being touched ensuring a sterile procedure. It is a widely used mechanism, with many professionals now choosing this method as there are no downsides to it.

 You may use numbing cream on yourself at your own risk. We can not take responsibility for any side effects, we advise you to follow the guide lines of the manufacturer of the cream and we also recommend to do a patch test on a small area (such as wrists) at least 72 hours before the piercing appointment in order to close out any allergies as a case of an allergic reaction on the piercing site would result in the appointment having to be cancelled.

During the healing period (6 weeks), it’s best to avoid swimming and you should only do so at your own risk. After all, each new nose piercing is a small wound, which should be kept as clean as possible. Public swimming pools are often contaminated with germs, especially bacteria, and pools that use chlorine may cause problems, since chlorine and its byproducts can dry out and irritate your skin. Even lakes or oceans may be contaminated with germs, therefore, if you decide to go swimming  and the piercing site gets in contact with pool or natural water, we recommend that you apply the aftercare product after the swim. You may also use a waterproof bandage, which you should remove after swimming.

Yes you can shower or take a bath after the piercing but the following pre cautions should be considered : we advise against soaking the nose or putting the nose under the bath water during the healing process (6 weeks), we recommend that our clients wash their hair with extensive level of care. Hairspray, shampoo, soap, and other preparations should be kept away from new nose piercings as much as reasonably possible. After showering or bathing, the nose should be rinsed with clear water, and then the aftercare product should be applied.
