A time that is yours.
Choose what brings you in, the spot and the piece, then a time. It is yours as soon as you choose it, and you pay at the end.

The spot is marked and you say yes before anything is done. $150 in implant-grade titanium, or from $350 in solid gold with the piece in the price.
The tray of BVLA gold in front of you, no needle and nothing to buy. Hold pieces up to your ear and see what suits you.
Four weeks after your piercing, and included for everyone we pierce. We look at how it is settling and change the bar down if it is ready.
Changing a piece over. Free if the piece came from us.
A bump, swelling, an end that will not stay on. Free if we did the piercing, healed or not. $30 if it was done somewhere else.
Where a genital piercing starts. $30, in private, and it comes off the piercing.
What it costs
Most ear and face piercings are $150 in implant-grade titanium, with the jewellery in the price. In solid 14k BVLA gold they run from $350 up to $1,730, again with the piece and the piercing together. Gold is pierced fresh here: you choose the piece first, then we find the spot, and it goes in at the piercing rather than months later. If you bring your own piece, it is the piece plus $40. The full price list has every spot.
Nothing is taken until you are here. You pay at the end of the appointment.
Before you come
Everyone brings photo ID, whatever their age. Eat something beforehand, because being pierced on an empty stomach is the most common reason someone feels faint. Come as you are: there is nothing to prepare and nothing to buy first.
Children's ears are pierced from age five, never babies, with a parent in the room. On a Monday or Tuesday, lobes are for 14 and over, so a younger child comes Wednesday to Sunday. Genital piercings are done by Tom only and start with the $30 look.

Open seven days, by appointment: Monday to Friday 11am to 6pm, Saturday and Sunday 10am to 6pm.
By car: park on the street, or in the paid parks along Parnell Road.
From Britomart: the InnerLink bus leaves Waitematā Station and runs along Parnell Road. Get off at St Georges Bay Road, about 50 metres from the door. On foot, it is about half an hour.
From Newmarket: the InnerLink runs the other way to the same stop. Or take the train one stop to Parnell station, then walk about 800 metres.
Tuesday is open, and Kat works it. One person is pierced at a time, so it is by appointment rather than walk-in. Call 09 949 0940 if you would rather talk to someone.
