No surprises.The $80 deposit paid at the time of booking is deducted from your total cost on the day of your appointment. Deposits are non-refundable and arriving late or no-shows results in forfeiting the deposit. What is the minimum age to get helix & rook piercings?We offer Rook piercings to clients 16 years and up. Ready to level-up your piercing game?Our piercers are extensively trained and strictly pierce with needles (no piercing guns!) and use disposable tools. All our jewelry is body-safe and sterilized. Only the finest - and safest! We carry solid 14k yellow, rose, and white gold, as well as implant-grade titanium and niobium jewelry. When is it time to downsize the Jewelry Post? Once the piercing is fully healed (time-frame differs for each piercing) and the jewelry is able to freely slide back and forth without feeling any pain or discomfort, it is time to book an appointment to have your labret post downsized. There is no service charge but each labret post will be $15 + HST.
