Piercing procedure

Selection of the type of piercing

The client decides the type of piercing desired with the assistance of our staff, specifying body area and type of jewel.

Hiring the service

1. The price of the service is valued.
2. The date and time for the provision of the service are agreed.
3. The service is contracted and paid and the corresponding appointment is reserved.
   • In case of cancellation of the service by the client, the money will not be refunded, so it is advisable to think it over and not hire the service if you are not completely sure of it.
   • In the event that before the service the client wishes to change the contracted service for a different service, the money paid in advance, could be used to obtain any other service of the same or lower value or as an advance of another service of greater value.
   • The client could also transfer the money paid as an advance, in favor of another client so that he can take advantage of it in obtaining any service.

Realization of the application

At the time of the client's turn, according to the date and time of his
appointment, the applicator will already have all the necessary materials and supplies ready for the application previously contracted. Keep in mind that at that time the service provision is considered to have started, even if the client had not yet arrived at the establishment.

• If the client is late, he may lose his shift, since the time reserved for his appointment is the time necessary to carry out his application and this could cause a delay to the following appointments.
  
• In the case of losing his turn, the client should request a new appointment.

When indicated by the establishment's personnel, the client will enter the work room without accompanying persons, except minors who may be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Points will be marked on the area of the contracted body to confirm the precise position for the perforation.

The application will proceed.

• If the piercing is not finished because of the client, as for example because he is afraid, he will not stop moving, etc., this would be considered finished, he should contract it and pay it again if he later wishes to do it.
  

Once the application is finished:

1. The perforation will be cleaned.
2. Photographs of the piercing will be taken in order to leave a graphic record of the result and as a sample for our catalog.
3. The client will be instructed to carefully watch his piercing.
4. The care to be followed after the application will be explained to the client.
5. Once the client leaves the workroom, all the disposable materials used will be discarded and the reusable materials will be prepared for sterilization.

In case you are not satisfied with your service you will not be refunded the money.

Piercing care

The recommendations to follow before and after the application are important to prevent infections and ensure a good result.

The client commits to fulfill them, assuming as his own the problems derived from the breach of them.

Before the application

Before performing the piercing, the following considerations should be taken:

• Do not attend the establishment on an empty stomach.
• Avoid drinking alcohol, vasodilators or exciters 24 hours before.
• Avoid sunbathing excessively and of course sunburn.

After the application

The recommendations to follow are important to obtain a good result and avoid the infection of the perforation:

Healing period according to the area of the perforation:

• Lobe of the ear - 4 to 8 weeks
• Cartilage of the ear - 3 to 8 months
• Nose - 2 to 4 months
• Nasal septum - 6 to 8 weeks
• Eyebrow - 6 to 12 weeks
• Nipple - 3 to 9 months
• Navel - 7 months to 1 year
• Lip - 2 to 4 months
• Tongue - 4 to 6 weeks
• Lingual frenulum - 1 to 2 months
• Female genitalia - 4 to 10 weeks
• Male genitalia - 4 weeks to 6 months

Follow the following care throughout the healing period:

Piercings inside the mouth (lip, tongue, braces, etc.)

• Eat soft and cold foods.
• Drinking cold liquids.
• Avoid smoking.
• Perform mouth rinses, after each meal, with a mouthwash that preferably contains chlorhexidine to prevent inflammation, especially if the piercing is tongue or lip.
• With the tongue piercing it is usual to have difficulties to talk and eat during the first days.

Rest of piercings

• Wash both sides of the piercing several times a day with a few drops of saline.
• It is advisable to bathe in the sea and submerge the area of the body where the perforation is.
• Do not submerge the perforation in pools.
• Showering with soap and water is not a problem.
• Do not remove the jewel before the complete healing of the perforation because it is very likely not to be able to put it back on. The hole tends to close extremely fast.

Do not change the jewel for another until the complete healing of the piercing.

If, after at least one day from the completion of the perforation, it stings or oozes, you should go to a pharmacy to acquire an appropriate disinfectant. In case of infection you should go to the doctor.
