We offer services to check on existing piercings and to discuss future options with our piercers.
Appointments are *REQUIRED* to browse or purchase jewelry in the studio. Buying jewelry is not self service. At minimum, an employee/piercer has to be available to get your jewelry out of back stock and sterilize it, which takes at least 8-10 minutes. Jewelry is not one-size-fits-all. Some piercings have over a dozen common sizes. That means you need to know exactly what size you need (both gauge and length), we need to have a purchase on file in the last 5 or so years, OR a piercer needs to be available to assist you with sizing. We also need to have time available at the jewelry counter for you to look at our displays. If another appointment is already scheduled, someone else will be occupying the counter.
Prepaid Jewelry Pickup (15 minute window, $15 no-show fee) Have you already purchased jewelry and need to arrange a time to pick it up? Book this service to do that. You can send an email to info@piercingexp.com or browse our selection on our web store to complete your purchase. You must arrive at the studio within your 15 minute pickup window to ensure availability and to avoid a no-show fee. Once your order is complete and jewelry is ready, we’ll send you an email or text with a link to schedule
