Piercing Information
There are far too many people
piercing who have no right to be holding a needle! The links at
the bottom of the page will help you find a knowledgeable piercer
and answer any questions you may have.
Our staff are very
knowledgeable about placements, size, gauge and style of jewelry
for each piercing. We have a large stock of piercing jewelry to
ensure that the correct type is used for each customer. If
incorrect size and style of jewelry is used , often a piercing
will grow out, or heal slowly. We buy only from manufacturers who consistently produce highly
polished, well shaped and finished jewelry. A piece of jewelry
which is not correctly finished will irritate a new piercing and
cause considerable problems until it is replaced.
Your piercing will have the
best start it could possibly have and then it is up to you to
take care of it. Our aftercare instructions are continually being
brought up to date and if they are followed, piercings will
usually heal in a very short time. We are not doctors and
therefore we can only suggest an aftercare regime, but the
instructions we give have been reviewed medically and have been
found to work. If a healing problem should occur we are always at
the end of the phone to offer help.
We are very aware of the
increased potential of disease transmission during the piercing
procedure and do our utmost to use universal precautions to
prevent this happening.
We are willing to help
anybody who has a piercing problem, whether or not we pierced
them. Often the problems we see are simply the result of
inappropriate aftercare instructions , incorrect jewelry size or
damaged jewelry.
We carry a large selection of
jewelry for healed piercings and we are also able to order
special items or items not in stock from our suppliers. Our
prices are low - this does not mean that the quality is poor - we
prefer to turnover the jewelry fast and compete with the stores
in the Mall.
