Our Piercing Services

From Ears to Noses and Nips to Navels: Experience Flawless Body Piercing

We do almost every type of piercing you can imagine. We just won't pierce your junk, nor will we do frog eye or snake eye tongue piercings, because there's too much risk of complications. Here's just a sample:

We use only the finest jewelry brands, made with either surgical grade titanium (better than stainless steel, which some people react to) or gold. Brands include BVLA, Buddha Jewelry, Neometal, Metal Mafia, LeRoy Jewelers, and more.

  • Ear Piercings: A trusted ear piercing shop offering everything from classic lobe piercings to advanced cartilage placements like tragus, rook, and conch — including specialized baby ear services.
  • Facial Piercings: Including nose, eyebrow, lip piercings, and more.
  • Mouth & Tongue Piercings: Tongue midlines, web (frenulum), smiley (gums), and uvula piercings.
  • Body Piercings: Nipples (including inverted nipples), navel/belly button piercings, and many more.
  • Tooth Gems: Offering a variety of brands, styles, and materials including 14 and 18 karat gold gems.
  • Septum Piercings: A variety of styles, shapes, and sizes to match your personality, with precision and only high-quality materials.
