All piercing appointments require a non-refundable deposit to be paid to confirm them. Deposits come off the total cost on the day. Once your booking is confirmed (with a deposit / email confirmation) we welcome you to get started on your consent form, this can be done at any stage prior to your appointment. You can also get a head start on browsing jewellery through our webstore, however each appointment includes time to take you through our jewellery range in person and find that perfect piece for your piercing.

If you change your mind prior to the piercing procedure starting, we'll work with you to find an alternative, or we can use the deposit towards jewellery purchase instead. If you change your mind once the piercing procedure has started you may lose some, or all of, your deposit.

If you have booked an anatomically dependant piercing without firstly booking a consultation and the practitioner decides that the anatomy is (unfortunately) unsuitable for piercing, we will firstly work with you to try and find a happy alternative. However, if we can't find an alternative, your deposit may be partially or fully forfeited to cover the practitioners time. If you have booked a piercing that doesn't firstly recommend an anatomical consultation and based on our professional opinion we are unable to pierce you, we may refund your deposit. Consultations are free, click here to book one.

Jewellery that we pierce with, or fit for downsizes, jewellery fitting services, curations, etc., are custom-fitted based on anatomy. With considerations for any potential swelling, tissue change, and life.

We take no responsibility for jewellery sizing or fit for jewellery that is purchased through the webstore, or bought in person without assistance and installation.
