How Long to Wait Before Changing your Jewelry
You need to give your piercing time to heal before changing the jewelry. The jewelry used for fresh piercings is meant to accommodate different things that can happen during the healing process.
| PIERCING TYPE | MINIMUM TIME TO CHANGE | AVERAGE FULL HEAL |
|---|---|---|
| VCH, Septum & Lobes | 6-8 weeks | 6 months |
| Oral | 2-3 weeks | 8 weeks |
| Surface Piercings (just the tops) | 3 months | 8 months |
| Anti Eyebrow, Horizontal Eyebrow & Vertical Tragus | 3-4 months | 8 months |
| Industrial | 4 - 6 months | 1 - 2 years |
| Everything Else | 3 - 4 months | Varies from 8 months to 2 years |
If the jewelry you want to put in your piercing is heavy, dangly, or super decorative: give your piercing extra time to heal.
Piercing Aftercare
- Always wash your hands before handling your piercing.
- Clean your piercing 1 - 2 times daily with either a gentle unscented soap or a sterile saline solution. Use either your fingertips or Q-tips to help clean. Each time you cleanse be sure to gently but thoroughly clean away any dirt, debris, and/or discharge that has accumulated on the skin/jewelry.
- Always rinse your piercing with clean water after cleaning.
- Check the balls on your jewelry regularly/daily to ensure they are tight. At minimum this should be done before going to bed and after waking up.
- During it's initial healing, your piercing will swell, have some slight redness or discoloration, possibly have some dryness, and will produce discharge.
- Normal discharge will look similar to eye boogies (pale yellow/pale brown). It should always be cleaned away and not left to sit on the skin for long periods of time.
- You can treat the swelling with ibuprofen and/or a cold compress.
- DO NOT use alcohol, peroxide, essential oils, bactine, or ointments on your piercing.
- DO NOT cover your piercing with gauze or bandaids.
- DO NOT change the jewelry before the allotted time given by your piercer.
- DO NOT remove and reinsert jewelry to sleep or to clean. This is unnecessary and will result in either the closure of your piercing or extreme irritation.
- DO NOT play with or touch your piercing at all unless you are cleaning it.
- AVOID regular compression on the piercing (tight clothes, shape wear, sleeping on it, headphones, etc).
Oral Piercings:
- Rinse your mouth with mouthwash at least twice a day. Alcohol-free mouthwash is best.
- Lip piercings need to be cleaned on the inside with mouthwash, and the outside with unscented soap or saline.
- These piercings will go through a ton of swelling. You should take ibuprofen regularly for at least the first 7 days if possible.
Genital Piercings:
- Use ONLY a gentle unscented soap to clean genital piercings. Rinse thoroughly with clean water afterwards.
- NO sexual activity for AT LEAST the first 6 weeks if you have a Christina piercing; 4 weeks if you have a clitoral hood piercing. Once you get to that point you will need to clean the piercing after each time.
If any questions or concerns come up, call us at (912)352-9926 or come in and speak with a piercer.
If you notice symptoms of infection (widespread redness, extreme swelling, bright yellow or green discharge, hot to the touch) please see a healthcare provider.

Do you do dermals?
Dermals were made illegal in the state of Georgia at the end of 2023 meaning no piercer in the state is allowed to perform them anymore. This applies to all types of dermals.

Yes, we offer walk-in jewelry swaps and change outs for just a $10 set up fee!
Can my friend/family come back with me?
We do not allow guests back into the piercing room, only the person recieving a piercing or service. The only exception is that parents must accompany any minor recieving a service.
What if I have a health concern about my piercing?
(Bumps, possible infection, keloids, rejection, etc)
If you have a question or about the health or healing of your piercing (even if you received it elsewhere) we would greatly reccomend stopping in to see our piercer in person. We can answer certain questions over the phone, however are not able to give more specific advice without seeing your piercing in person.
Do you sell jewelry/retainers?
We sell jewelry up front for healed piercings for $5-$10 per piece, as well, we sell the jewelry we pierce with in the back for $20. We also have a limited selection of plastic retainers up front for $5 per piece.
Can I get pierced with my own jewelry?
No, we do not permit the use of personal jewelry in the initial piercing process. Everything we use for our piercings is a sterilized, implant grade surgical steel kept in our piercing room.
How many piercings can I get at once?
For the purpose of the healing process and your health, we will only perform up to 3 piercings at a time. When it comes to piercings that come in pairs-- such as two pairs of lobes-- we are willing to discuss performing those four all together.
