How are body piercings done?
A. All piercings are done using sterile, single use needles. Some piercings require the use of forceps (otherwise known as clamps) to hold the area securely. These may provide a feeling of numbness as it momentarily cuts off circulation. Other placements require the use of a receiving tube which “catches” the needle as it exits the piercing site and prevents the needle from puncturing any other areas of the body. An extremely sharp, beveled, sterile, disposable piercing needle is used to perform the piercing. These needles are specifically designed for this purpose. The jewelry is inserted as the needle is pushed out of the body. This allows us to properly insert the correct size and style of jewelry.
