Yes... and no! The advantage of piercing, unlike tattooing, is that the act itself lasts less than a second, so if there is pain, it's a very quick sensation. Afterwards, there might be some discomfort or slight pain at the beginning of the healing process, but nothing insurmountable.

No, the perception of pain is unique to each individual, so it's not comparable from one person to another, or from one piercing location to another.

Unfortunately, no. The body doesn't get used to the pain the more piercings you get. However, knowing what to expect can help you anticipate the procedure better and experience it more calmly.

This is not a hard and fast rule, because once again, the perception of pain and the assessment of its level are unique to each individual. One person might feel almost no pain with a septum piercing, while another might find a lobe piercing painful, for example. The best way to know is to go for it!

Not at all. In fact, wearing jewelry that is too thin (0.6 or 0.8 mm, generally below 1 mm) can quickly lead to healing problems. It's better to wear piercing jewelry that is 1.2 and 1.6 mm for good everyday comfort.

The piercing act itself is already very quick, thanks to specially designed equipment like the blades (needles) we use. The piercer's experience is also important, because while a piercer takes their time to explain the appointment process and aftercare, they are very quick during the actual piercing to minimize pain as much as possible.

Every piercing and every person heals differently and, most importantly, at their own pace. A piercing can take up to a year to fully heal, so don't be too impatient.

No, even if your piercing looks good and no longer hurts, complete healing and stabilization can take, on average, up to a year.

Absolutely not! This misconception is unfortunately still too widespread. Twisting your jewelry will only delay healing and cause inflammation in the process. You can consult this article to learn more about this subject.

Another common misconception that causes quite a bit of damage! You should absolutely not put alcohol or alcohol-containing disinfectant on a piercing; this will cause inflammation, leading to significant swelling, redness, and pain.
We strongly recommend using only saline solution for stable healing; there's no need to overdo it or do more.

You should avoid manipulating or touching your piercing as much as possible. In this sense, you should avoid cleaning it too often, as this will not speed up healing; quite the opposite.

Absolutely not. These small scabs are there for a good reason and will fall off by themselves in the shower quickly. Removing them will only slow down healing or even cause swelling and irritation in the process. It's like scratching a scab/wound on your knee, for example: the more you scratch, the less it heals.

Secretions like lymph are completely normal during the first few weeks of healing, or even in the months following the piercing: it's your immune system working, no need to panic!

Absolutely not! To be honest: a real infection is extremely rare! It's more often an inflammation accompanied by redness and which can be painful, but that's all it is: an inflammation and not an infection. If you have a "bump" appear or have any concerns about your piercing, stop by without an appointment to see a professional who can advise you best.

There's no direct link between a piercing not being done successfully and the area around it becoming inflamed and swollen. Again, this depends on each individual's body; we don't have a crystal ball to predict whether your ear will swell or not, which is why we always offer a longer initial piece of jewelry than what can be worn later.
