Professional Body Piercing & Styling in Modesto

• 18+: You must provide a valid government-issued photo ID (Driver’s License, Passport, State ID).
• Minors: A parent or legal guardian must be present. We require the minor’s birth certificate (or court documents) AND the parent’s government-issued photo ID. The last names or addresses must link the two of you together. No exceptions.

We love walk-ins! However, appointments are recommended to avoid a wait time.

For your safety, no. We only pierce with jewelry that has been sterilized to hospital-grade standards. Jewelry brought from outside cannot be verified for material quality or sterility, which increases the risk of infection or rejection. We have a wide selection of high-quality jewelry for you to choose from!

Absolutely not. We use single-use, sterilized, hollow needles. Needles are far safer, cleaner, and less painful than piercing guns. Guns force blunt jewelry through the tissue, causing trauma, whereas a needle creates a clean channel for faster healing.

Ear Piercings

• Earlobes: 6–8 weeks.
• Cartilage (Helix, Tragus, Conch, Rook, Daith): 6–12 months.
  • Note: Cartilage heals from the outside in, so it may look healed before it is fully stable inside.
• Industrial: 6–12 months.

Facial Piercings

• Nostril: 4–6 months.
• Septum: 4–8 weeks.
• Eyebrow: 2–3 months.
• Lip / Labret: 6–8 weeks.
• Tongue: 4–6 weeks.
• Bridge: 3–6 months.

Body Piercings

• Navel (Belly Button): 6–12 months.
• Nipples: 6–12 months.
• Dermal Anchors / Surface: 2–6 months.

You should avoid submerging a new piercing in pools, hot tubs, lakes, or the ocean for at least 8 weeks. These bodies of water contain bacteria that can cause serious infections in fresh wounds.

We recommend using a sterile saline solution twice a day. Avoid alcohol, peroxide, harsh soaps, or ointments (like Neosporin), as these can damage the tissue and slow down healing.
