Gold ends are ordered in for you, priced when you choose.
Gold ends are ordered in for you, because the tray has none that suit, and they are priced when you choose. Nothing to pay when you book. You pay at the end, by card or cash. Your checkup four weeks later is free, and so is a look at any piercing we did.
Where it sits
On the chest, through the base of the nipple. One, or both in the same visit.
We look at the anatomy first, and place it level and centred through the base.
We look at the anatomy first and say what suits, before anything is marked. The bar goes through the base, level and centred, and that placement is what decides whether it sits straight and heals cleanly.
Every spot on the body
Does it hurt?
More than a lobe or most cartilage, but over in a fraction of a second. Tender for a few days after.
Who pierces it
Tom or Kat, one client in the room, forty-five minutes. Eighteen and over. Everyone brings photo ID.

A soft cotton or sports bra protects it from snagging. Keep underwire off it.
Three to six months
Something fitted and soft against it is better than nothing. A soft cotton bra or a breathable sports bra holds the jewellery still and keeps it from catching on clothing.
Keep underwire off it, and keep away from any fabric that catches on the ends of the bar. For exercise, something supportive but not compressive. Loose fabric, or no support at all when you are moving a lot, is what snags a healing piercing.
A needle, never a gun. Single use, sterile, and put in the bin in front of you. The autoclave is tested weekly, and every piece that goes in is implant-grade.
Any problem with a piercing we did, the look is free.
What goes in it
A straight titanium bar. Gold ends are ordered in for you, because the tray has none that suit.
A straight titanium bar, implant-grade, sized to you. It goes in longer than the bar you end up with, to leave room for swelling. If it were cut to the healed length on the day, the ends would press into the tissue as it swelled.
At your checkup, four weeks on, the long bar is swapped for a shorter one that sits close. Nothing changes before then. The surface can look settled well before the channel inside is finished, so the jewellery stays as it is until we have looked at it.
What happens at the appointment
Nothing is pierced until you have seen the spot and agreed with it.
First. In a private room, with the door shut and one client in the room. We look at the anatomy, talk about what suits, and mark it level and centred. Nothing clinical is out yet.
Then, one needle. A fraction of a second for each side, and the bar goes in at the same moment. Time is taken at each step.
Before you leave. Aftercare is sorted, and your four-week checkup goes in the book.
Forty-five minutes. Eighteen and over, with photo ID.
One, or both
Both in a single visit is the more common choice, and it is easier than coming back to start a second healing later. One is just as reasonable. Either way, it is the same appointment and the same time.
