How is the piercing done?
All of the piercings here are done using sterile disposable piercing needles. Many of the Piercing locations use forceps, which are applied to hold the area securely for the piercing. These may also help to numb the region by reducing circulation of blood. Certain areas, such as the nasal septum, nostrils, ear rims, Prince Albert and vertical clitoral hood piercings use a hollow tube known as a needle receiving tube. These are locations where forceps are not practical or necessary. The actual piercing is made using an extremely sharp tri-beveled piercing needle specifically designed for this purpose. Immediately following the piercing and sometimes during the piercing procedure the jewelry is inserted, pushing the needle out as the jewelry goes in. This is a skill in which our experience and quality internally threaded jewelry can make a big difference regarding your comfort!
