All piercings are performed using fully disposable, single use cannula needles and tools. I do not perform any piercings with a gun, only needles.
When it comes to body piercings, the method used can significantly impact the healing process and long-term health of the piercing. Here’s why it’s considered dangerous to use piercing guns and why single-use needles are a safer, more effective choice:

Why Piercing Guns Are Dangerous:

1. Tissue Trauma: Piercing guns work by forcing a sharp jewelry piece through the skin using pressure, which can cause more tissue damage than a needle. This force can crush and tear the tissue, leading to excessive swelling, prolonged healing times, and increased risk of complications, such as infection or scarring.

2. Increased Risk of Infection: Because piercing guns don’t make a clean hole but rather a forced displacement of tissue, they can leave microscopic bits of tissue behind. These can harbor bacteria and make it easier for infections to take hold. Additionally, the use of piercing guns is often associated with non-sterile practices in some less reputable settings, which increases the risk of infection further.

3. Misalignment of Jewelry: Piercing guns typically use pre-packaged jewelry that may not be the most appropriate size or fit for the piercing. Since the jewelry is forced through the tissue with the gun, there’s a higher likelihood of misalignment, which can lead to discomfort, improper healing, and complications down the road, such as jewelry embedding in the tissue.

4. Pain and Trauma: The rapid force applied by a piercing gun can cause more intense pain compared to a needle, which is usually smoother and less traumatic for the skin. The immediate impact can shock the body and create a heightened risk of swelling or other reactions.

5. No Control Over Piercing Angle: Piercing guns often don’t offer the same level of control over the direction and angle of the piercing. This can lead to poorly positioned piercings, which may be more prone to irritation or injury. Improperly placed jewelry can also hinder proper healing and cause long-term issues.

Why Single-Use Needles Are Safer:

6. Clean and Precise Hole: A single-use needle creates a clean, precise hole by removing a small core of tissue (often called a "plug"). This is much less traumatic for the tissue compared to the crushing or pinching force used by piercing guns. This clean cut helps reduce the risk of infection and ensures a smoother healing process.

7. Less Tissue Damage: Unlike piercing guns, which compress and displace tissue, a needle creates a hole with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue. This reduces the risk of excessive swelling, inflammation, and discomfort.

8. Sterile and Safe: Professional piercers use single-use, sterile needles, which are usually pre-packaged and disposed of immediately after use. This ensures that the equipment is free from contaminants, minimizing the risk of infection and cross-contamination.

9. More Control and Precision: Needles allow the piercer to have better control over the angle, depth, and placement of the piercing, which ensures the jewelry sits correctly and the piercing is aligned properly. Properly aligned jewelry is essential for healing and for reducing the chances of complications like rejection or migration.

10. Faster Healing: Because the needle causes minimal trauma to the tissue and creates a cleaner hole, the healing time tends to be shorter. There is also a reduced risk of complications like keloids, scarring, or hypertrophic scarring.

Unfortunately I do not offer piercings below the waist or inside the mouth such as tongues, smileys, cheeks, or tongue webbing. I do however pierce everywhere on the lips.

SPMU
You will be required to book a consultation and have a patch test before you book an appointment. A $100+ tax deposit is required post consultation to secure your appointment.

Deposits are non-refundable but transferable to another date/time or value can go towards other services.

Before any kind of appointment, please make sure you have had:
◦ a good nights sleep
◦ something to eat
◦ are fully hydrated!
◦ If you want to wear numbing cream for SPMU appointments that is up to you, we can discuss this   at your consultation.I don’t recommend using numbing cream for piercings as it is very quick and generally a tolerable procedure.

Unfortunately I will not perform any procedure on you if you are:
◦ Under the influence of alcohol or drugs
◦ Have a blood clotting disorder
◦ Have a blood borne disease
◦ Are pregnant or breastfeeding
◦ Are needle phobic
◦ Are diabetic, unless you have written medical consent or have previously had piercings/tattoos with no complications
◦ Have a skin condition in the area you were hoping to have a procedure
◦ If you have a CT/MRI scan in the next 3 months I would not recommend getting a new piercing until after your scan, as the piercing will likely close once you remove the jewellery.

Written and verbal aftercare will be given to you after your appointment, to ensure the best possible healing results after your procedure.

Aftercare spray for piercings is available for purchase after your piercing.

For SPMU, I will provide an aftercare ointment for you which is included in the price.

I will provide specific aftercare advice to you, but generally the advice follows:
◦ No excessive exercise for 72 hours
◦ No sun beds/prolonged sun exposure for 4 weeks
◦ No hot tubs/baths/sauna/steam room for 3 weeks
◦ No touching, picking, or scratching!
