  • All the supplies used in the piercing process is single use and then disposed properly upon completion


  • Find the perfect jewellery for your ear, mouth, body and nose piercings. Choose from a wide selection of nose pins, barbells, studs & body jewellery
  • Our jewellery is all high-quality, implant grade titanium. Titanium is hypo-allergenic, durable, light & the safest piercing jewellery
  • All our jewellery is sterilized & imported from London


  • We take piercing safety & aftercare very seriously. Your health comes first. We take pride in our safe piercing environment
  • Our talented piercing artist's pierce by hand, never with piercing guns. They are knowledgeable in piercing aftercare & dedicated to safe piercing practices


  • The typical healing process of a nose piercing can take anywhere from 6 to 8 months to heal (depending on your body’s natural rate of healing)
  • Carefully following aftercare, proper placement, and jewellery quality can help reduce healing times
  • Being indirect, and reducing friction is very important; however, if you are in a position where you need to touch the piercing, your hands and the area around the piercing should be thoroughly cleaned beforehand


  • We recommend purchasing sea salt from a pharmacy, ensure the product is labelled “Saline Wound Wash” & contains only sodium chloride (sea salt) and water
  • In case, you have to wash just take half tablespoon of sea salt (too much salt can damage or irritate the piercing) in a small bowl of water
  • Heat the solution & let it come down to Luke warm temperature, then dip cotton earbuds into the solution & clean the piercing from both the ends
  • Make sure you don’t see any cluster or scab forming on the fresh piercing
  • Repeat the process at least 3-5 times a day till the piercing is healed (most important don’t touch the piercing or play with the jewellery till it heals, as it may cause irritation, infection & will take a longer time to heal)


We recommend an unflavored, alcohol- free mouth wash OR mixing the saline solutions mentioned above


To clean inside of the mouth.


  • Rinse with saline solution or mouth wash for 30 sec every time you eat or drink and once before going to bed (4-6 times daily)


Note- If you suffer from any heart condition, please don't use salt; use mouth wash only


  • Never remove or change your jewellery while the piercing is fresh & healing. Also, don't move/play with the jewellery
  • To prevent infection & irritation avoid consuming alcohol, don't smoke or consume spicy foods
  • Don't allow other people's body fluids to come in contact with your new piercing
  • This includes oral sex, kissing, sharing food, drinks or other utensils
  • Never use rubbing alcohol or any other ointments while the piercing is healing


  • You might feel some amount of discomfort or pain accompanied by moderate swelling & redness
  • Some bleeding or scabbing during the first week of healing is normal
  • Clear to white/yellowish fluid that commonly dries into “crusties” around the area of the piercing and onto the jewellery can be noticed
  • Mild itching or burning/throbbing sensations throughout the entire healing period might be felt

PIERCING FAQ's

  • The area of the piercing will be abnormally red, swollen, painful, and hot to the touch
  • The piercing will secrete greenish, foul smelling puss (noticeably different from the normal fluid that produces crusties)
  • If the piercing is infected, DO NOT REMOVE THE JEWELRY. If the jewellery is removed, the piercing will immediately begin to heal; this can result in the infection becoming trapped under the skin, which can lead to an puss
  • It is important to visit your doctor or walk-in clinic as soon as possible to obtain antibiotics to treat the infection. Once your doctor confirms that the infection has subsided, you can safely remove the jewellery if you no longer wish to keep the piercing
  • Note: bumping or snagging the piercing may result in it swelling or bleeding again; this is normal and should be temporary, follow cleaning instructions until the irritation subsides


  • A “bump” forming on one or both sides of your piercing can be a common problem for piercings that are harder to heal, such as in cartilage or high-motion areas.
  • Often mistaken for keloids, these bumps are usually hypertrophic scarring. this occurs when your body is trying to heal the piercing but experiences disruptions, such as pressure (eg. from sleeping on it), moving the jewellery, or picking at scabs/crusties.


  • Hypertrophic scarring is very treatable. In addition to regular cleaning, twice per day you can try a chamomile compress:
  • Boil water and brew a cup of chamomile tea (make sure it is pure chamomile and has no other additives)
  • Allow the tea to cool enough that it will not burn you, but is still very warm
  • Soak a clean paper towel or facecloth in the tea (or you can use the tea bag itself), and apply directly to the area of the bump. Gently press for a few minutes until the towel/teabag cools completely
  • You can re-soak the towel/teabag and repeat a few times if you wish. Doing this at least twice a day, you should notice improvement and the bump should begin receding within a week


  • Unfortunately, even piercings that have been healed for years can immediately begin to heal once the jewellery is removed. If you are still within the initial healing period, in almost all cases removing the jewellery will result in the loss of the piercing
  • We recommend having a trained pierce assist you as soon as possible; there is a possibility that with proper tools and training, the piercing can still be salvaged.
