Unfortunately, we cannot use jewellery from outside our studio, or that has been previously worn (even if purchased from us in the past).

This is to ensure you have enough time to select your piercing jewelry, be screened, and fill out our intake form. How does the deposit work?The total cost of your piercing will be service price + jewelry price + tax. No surprises.The $40 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.

Clients 16 years old and up can get a helix piercing without the presence of a parent or legal guardian. 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.
