First time? You're in good company.
About half of our walk-ins are first-timers. A real piercer, a sterile setup, and clear guidance go a long way toward making this the calmest piercing you'll get.
Yelp + Google proof
The calm starts before the chair.
Google’s public listing shows a 4.6-star profile across 699 reviews, with visible review themes around clean service, calm energy, and children’s ear-piercing care.
Yelp highlights call out the team for checking placement more than once, confirming jewelry, and asking for birth certificate plus guardian ID on children’s visits.
— What to bring —
The short list.
- Valid government-issued photo ID. Driver's license, passport, military ID, or state ID.
- If you're a minor: your parent or legal guardian must come with you, with their own valid photo ID. Different last names? Bring guardianship documents.
- A real meal in the last two hours. Not coffee. Not just gum. Low blood sugar is the single most common reason people feel faint during a piercing.
- Clean skin, no makeup or lotion in the area you're piercing.
- Patience for a short health questionnaire and consent step — it's how we make sure your piercing is built for your body, not a guess.
— What happens —
Step by step.
- Intake.Four short steps, fifteen minutes at the counter — or fill it out in advance at home so you walk straight to the chair.
- Consult.Your piercer reviews placement options for your anatomy and the jewelry that fits. No pressure to commit.
- Marking.Dots go on. You approve placement in a mirror before any needle comes out of the wrapper.
- Piercing.Single-use sterile needle. Faster than you'd guess — usually under a minute.
- Aftercare.You leave with written aftercare and a clear timeline for healing checks. Text us anything along the way.
— Minors & guardians —
The parent's chapter.
We work with parents every day. We'd rather be slow up front than turn anyone away at the chair. The rules below come from industry safety standards and Texas practice.
- Minors must be physically present with a parent or legal guardian.
- Both the minor and the guardian need valid government-issued photo ID.
- Last names don't match? Bring a birth certificate or court-issued guardianship paperwork.
- Under no circumstances do we pierce nipples or genitals on anyone under 18 — that is an industry standard, not a discretionary rule.
- Some piercings have higher recommended minimum ages because of healing complexity. We'll walk through it before we mark.
— What we won't do —
The refusals.
- Use piercing guns. Not on lobes, not on noses, not on anyone.
- Use unknown or costume metal in a fresh piercing.
- Pierce anyone who clearly can't consent — intoxicated, coerced, or unable to confirm health information.
- Pretend a placement will heal when your anatomy tells us otherwise. We'll suggest an alternative or send you home.
