2023 Piercing Updates
We are now a Statim Shop!
We have officially made the technological leap where we can pull any of your favorite jewelry from our display cases and have it safely sterilized and ready for insertion in 6 minutes, cutting wait times and reducing backstock, allowing us to bring you more variety in the near future.
We hope you still lobe us.
Our mission has always been to offer piercing at an affordable price, however we must find balance in jewelry quality and safe design for initial piercings. We are no longer offering initial piercings with traditional backings, and are now only using threadless implant grade titanium flat back labrets for all lobe piercings. This option is safer for swelling, more secure and comfortable, and harbors less bacteria. We have already had an overwhelmingly positive response from our clients, and hope you will too.
Only the most biocompatible alloys.
We are proud to say that as of 2023, there isn't a single piece of 316L surgical steel or PVD gold left in our shop. Everything has been cast out to pave way for Titanium-6AL4V-ELI | ASTM F136, Niobium, and 14-18k Solid Gold. Mill certificates and invoices are now available upon request to put your mind at ease. Invictus Body Jewelry is currently our main jeweler. Other top brands we will be introducing in 2024 will be Neometal, Anatometal, Regalia, and Norvoch.
