​

We are unable to tattoo or pierce you if

​

  • you under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

  • you are pregnant or nursing a child under 4 months

  • you take blood thinning medication

  • you are currently on antibiotics

  • you have a medical condition which would make it unsafe to be tattooed or pierced

  • Swimming and exposure to sun can cause significant damage to your tattoo that is under 3 weeks old.

​

Keep in mind:

  • Flying with a fresh piercing can cause overswelling of the piercing. 

  • Sun exposure to fresh tattoos is damaging to the tattoo.

  • Swimming with a fresh tattoo carries a significant infection risk.

  • Swimming within the first 6 weeks of receiving a piercing will significantly increase your infection risk.

  • We STRONGLY recommend not receiving a piercing if you will be submerging it in pools, hot tubs, oceans, lakes, rivers or tubs.
    *Please note that showering is OK!

  • If you will need to remove your jewelry for an upcoming surgery or medical procedure, we recommend not getting pierced until after your procedure. The piercing can close very quickly and switching to a retainer may not be the best option while it's fresh.

  • If you know you will need to remove your jewelry often during the healing process for sports, performances or any other activity, we advise waiting to get pierced until you know you'll be able to leave your jewelry in for the entire healing process.

  • Attempting to remove and reinsert jewelry into your fresh or healing piercing can result in increased infection risk, irritation, rejection and other problems.
