Stage 01
Consultation and marking
A look at the site, a conversation about placement and jewellery, and marks you approve before anything is opened.
Ear & Body Piercing
Sterile, single-use needles, jewellery that suits the site, and the aftercare that decides how it heals.
Body Piercing
What this actually involves
Piercing sits apart from the rest of the clinic, and it is listed separately for that reason. What it shares with everything else here is that the result depends far more on what happens afterwards than on the twenty minutes in the chair.
A piercing is a wound. Done with a sterile single-use needle, placed to suit your anatomy, and fitted with jewellery of the right size and material, most heal uneventfully. Done quickly with the wrong jewellery and no aftercare plan, they are the ones that stay angry for a year.
Single-use, sterile needlesOpened in front of you, used once, disposed of.
Placed for your anatomyNot every ear takes every placement — you are told if yours does not.
Implant-grade jewelleryThe right size and material for a fresh piercing.
Aftercare you leave withWritten, specific, and the reason most piercings go well.
How it is staged
Three stages, in this order
Each stage ends with a decision point — nothing moves forward on autopilot.
Stage 02
The piercing
A sterile single-use needle, the jewellery fitted, and a few minutes to sit before you go.
Stage 03
Healing and the downsize
Written aftercare, a realistic healing time, and a follow-up to change the initial jewellery once the swelling settles.
Why it is done this way
What you get out of it
Sterile, every time
Single-use needles and jewellery from sealed packaging.
You are told the downsides
Including whether a placement suits you, and how long it really takes.
Follow-up included
The downsize appointment is part of the service.

Start to review
Compared against your baseline, not against a feeling
Every stage is recorded — vocabulary, sentence length, intelligibility, measurements and, where you have them, blood results. You see your own numbers next to where you started, which beats being told it is going well.
Questions
About body piercing
Do you use a needle or a gun?
A needle. Piercing guns cannot be fully sterilised between clients and they cause more tissue trauma than a single-use hollow needle.
How long does it take to heal?
An earlobe is usually six to eight weeks. Cartilage is far longer — commonly six to twelve months, and sensitive for most of that. Anyone promising a cartilage piercing heals in a month is guessing.
What is the aftercare?
Sterile saline twice a day, hands off it otherwise, and do not rotate or twist the jewellery. Keep it out of pools, the sea and hot tubs while it is fresh. You leave with this written down.
When should I worry?
Some swelling, redness and clear crusting are normal early on. Spreading redness, heat, throbbing pain, fever or thick discharge are not — see a doctor, and do not remove the jewellery first unless told to, because the hole can close and trap the infection.
Is there anyone who should not be pierced?
Tell me if you are pregnant, diabetic, have a clotting disorder or take blood thinners, have a skin condition at the site, or a history of keloid scarring.
