❖ General Info ❖

• Cashless Payment: We accept debit/credit cards as well as Apple Pay. We do not accept cash payments, but can accept cash tips.
• IDs: Per the Illinois Public Health Department, ALL clients—including minors—must provide valid government-issued ID in order to get pierced.
  • ID must be provided at every new piercing appointment, even if you have been pierced at our studio before.
  • For minors, the parent/legal guardian's ID AND the child's birth certificate, passport, state ID, driver's permit, or driver's license is required. If their last names do not match, a birth certificate is required.
  • Clients under 18 must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian for both piercing and jewelry change-out services.
• We can only assist one client per appointment. If two people would like to get pierced together, please have each individual book a consecutive timeslot.
• Getting to the Studio:
  
  • Parking: There is plenty of free street parking along W. Erie St (East-West); there is also free street parking along N. Damen Ave in the immediate 1 block radius (North-South).
  • Public transit: The studio is a 0.6 mile walk from the brand new Damen Green Line stop. You can also take the northbound #50 Damen bus from the station, which drops you off at either Damen & Ohio or Damen & Huron (either stop is one block away from the studio).
• Face Masks: Face masks are optional for clients; piercers will wear masks during your procedure.
• Number of Piercings: To minimize the demands healing piercings inevitably places on one's immune system, we will only perform up to 3-4 piercings (depending on what those piercings are) in a single session. We generally recommend 1-2 piercings at a time for ease of healing.
• Cartilage Piercing Limitations: We will only perform cartilage piercings on one ear at a time (i.e. no paired conches, helix on one side and tragus on the other, etc). This is to reduce the risk of healing complications and irreversible angle drift often caused by sleeping on fresh piercings; we want you to have an ear to sleep on, use the phone with, etc. while healing your piercings!
• Swimming: If you have plans to swim or have vacation plans, we highly recommend holding off until afterwards to get pierced. To avoid infection risks, it is critical that fresh piercings are not submerged within pools, hot tubs, lakes, or other enclosed bodies of water for the first 6-8 weeks of wound healing.
• Travel: We also recommend until waiting until after air travel to get pierced, as the combination of stress, cabin pressure/dehydration, and changes in climate can lead to unusual/excess swelling in fresh piercings.
• Jewelry and Lifestyle Considerations: To avoid closure of the piercing channels, jewelry must be worn at all times for the entire duration of the healing process, and even for a good while after healing is complete. (Please visit our FAQ for a list of approximate healing times). It is best to schedule your piercing for a period of time where you do not anticipate having to remove your jewelry for several months (e.g. removal for sports, medical procedures, interviews, etc.).
  • Other lifestyle considerations:
    • If you regularly wear a stethoscope or ear buds, a daith or tragus piercing will not be able to heal
    • Similarly, wearing high-waisted pants greatly impacts the ability of navel piercings to heal successfully and increases the risk of migration/rejection.
• Outside/Worn Jewelry Policy: Please read our full policy carefully to see what kinds of outside/worn jewelry we can help you with and the re-processing fees associated with them!
• For safety reasons, we cannot pierce clients who:
  • Are currently pregnant or nursing
  • Are taking Isotretinoin (Accutane)
  • Are under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Have recently numbed the tissue (piercings performed on numbed tissue can appear highly angled/crooked once the anesthetic wears off and the tissue relaxes)
