Every piercing includes the jewellery.
Implant-grade titanium comes with every piercing; it is the clinical choice, the one we would pick for our own child. A BVLA gold end is the same appointment with a different piece from the tray. Each price includes the piercing, the jewellery, aftercare and the downsize. You pay on the day.
The parent stays in the room.
Titanium, a needle, the parent in the room, each step explained to the child before anything is touched. $150; a pair $200.
Tom, head piercer
All rates in NZD, inclusive of GST. A dash means we do not hold a gold end for that placement; the titanium is the piece. Gold prices are the price for that placement with a BVLA end; a stone piece from the tray is priced on the piece, from $390. The final piece is confirmed with your piercer at the table.
The fitting, the checkup, the check-in.
A navel takes a gold end on the top of the curve, the same way a rook does. We don’t hold ends that suit a nipple, so gold there is ordered for you.
Reschedule free up to 24 hours before; $40 inside 24 hours. A missed appointment is charged at the price of the appointment booked. The full policy. All major cards, EFTPOS, cash.
About the appointment.
How do I choose what to be pierced with?
Your piercer reviews your booking before you arrive and pulls pieces that suit your placement and anatomy. You look at what's been laid out together and decide at the table. You don't need to know in advance.
How long does the appointment take?
Allow forty-five minutes. The piercing itself takes a minute. The rest is the tray, the placement and the aftercare conversation. We don't rush.
Can I see BVLA pieces that aren't on the tray?
Yes. Anything BVLA makes can be ordered; see Commissions. Some pieces can be held on request.
What happens at the downsize?
The post is shortened once the swelling has settled, so the piece sits close and heals clean. It is booked before you leave, and it is included in the price.
Is there a deposit?
No. You pay on the day. If you can see a time in the calendar, that slot is open.
Not sure which piece? Come and hold the tray.
Sit at the low table with the tray and a mirror, and we'll say where each piece would sit on your ear. Styling and placement are half the work, and there is no needle in the room.
