1. Have an Idea of What You Would Like

When you call to make an appointment we do need to know what piercing you are wanting to get so we know how much time to mark off for the piercer. We have a vast selection of beautiful jewelry to choose from. So, making a choice can sometimes be over whelming. We can help guide you in picking out the perfect piece!

2. Eat Before Coming In

To prevent dizziness or lightheadedness, it’s a good idea to eat a meal or snack 2-4 hours before your piercing appointment.

This helps stabilize your blood sugar and ensures you won’t feel weak during the process. If you are someone who finds that low blood sugar affects your energy levels or mood, or that you find yourself feeling faint easily, this is the best step you can take to having a good experience.

3. Wear Comfortable Clothing

Wear loose, comfortable clothing on the day of your piercing, especially if you’re getting something on a body part like your navel or a more concealed spot. Clothing that is easy to remove and put on will make the process easier and more comfortable for both you and the piercer. Avoid tight clothing that could rub against the area being pierced, especially in the hours following the procedure. For body piercings especially, we suggest against anything that may accidentally become stained (blood is not the only concern here, as iodine and ink from markers or gentian violet can transfer from the skin!)

4. How To Prepare

Everyone gets nervous leading up to a piercing appointment, but there are steps you can take to alleviate that worry.

Bring a fidget toy or emotional support item.

Don’t watch tons of piercing videos on social media most are piercing gone wrong. (There are a handful of great piercers doing legit piercing content).

Though you're already here, remember the internet can be a scary place. Tiktok, YouTube, and Reddit are full of piercing videos and experiences gone wrong. Those are not what you need to be watching. They are addicting, cringe-worthy, and scary; they paint the absolute worst that can go wrong in the hands of untrained professionals in studios you are not visiting.

5. Documentation Needed To Get A Piercing

For anyone 18+ make sure to bring a state or government issued valid ID that has your name, picture, and birthdate all on the same ID. Such as Drivers License, Drivers Permit, Passport. If you are not sure if it is an acceptable ID, PLEASE call ahead prior to your appointment to verify if it will work!

MINORS (10 years old - 17 years old)

All MINORS regardless, a state or government issued valid ID that has their name, picture, and birthdate all on the same ID. You will need to bring the minor’s birth certificate, the only people who can bring in and sign for a minor to get a piercing is one of the two parents on the birth certificate. We will also need the parent/guardian’s ID as well. If you have guardianship of the minor and are not on the birth certificate, we need the guardianship papers that are notarized and signed by the judge along with both ID’s. If you have any questions on the documentation needed, give us a call 479-434-3550.

ALL OF THIS IS REQUIRED, IF YOU SHOW UP WITH ANYTHING MISSING, YOU WILL NOT GET PIERCED. THIS IS ALL STATE LAW/REQUIERD BY THE ARKANAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.

We Accept multiple forms of payment. We accept cash, credit cards, debit cards, Tap Pay (Google pay, Apple Pay, etc.), WE DO NOT ACCEPT CHECKS.

We do accept tips, and while they are never required they are always appreciated!!

8. Have Realistic Expectations

Piercing can cause discomfort, but it shouldn't be excruciating. Be aware of healing times and what you need to avoid during different stages of healing. It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions carefully to avoid complications like infection, irritation and migration or tilting of the piercing. Think of visiting your chosen studio like selecting a fancy new restaurant - check the menu, if there is a dress code, and what their reservation policies are. As long as you have the information you need, you're set for success! We hope this helps clients everywhere and when in doubt - call your local friendly piercing studio! We do this every day.
