How long after pregnancy should I wait b4 getting a piercing?

It varies, but most piercers say about three to six months. It depends a bit on the piercing and your plans for breast feeding.

This Airborne patch tattoo by Bleach is seriously amazing.

Not your grandma’s nipple jewelry? Or is it?

I asked a question about soaking bvla pieces in salt water earlier today. My piece also has synthetic opals and mercury mist topaz. Are those ok to soak as well?

Because both of those stones are synthetic, they salt water shouldn’t be an issue. If you are soaking your ear in salt water, it’s always a good idea to rinse the piercing/jewelry afterwards, so that should help with any potential issues as well.

I recently got two cartilage piercings with some gold bvla ends. Can I soak them in salt water? Also, when should I switch out the jewelry for shorter posts? Thank you!

Salt water shouldn’t cause any issues with the gold ends. Although, we do prefer a sterile, saline wound wash solution to sea salt solutions. We’re also not a big fan of soaking piercings if it can be avoided. Using sea salt and soaking piercings isn’t the worst thing you can do, there are just better alternatives. Either way, it shouldn’t affect the jewelry at all.

Is it a bad idea to get two piercings in the same ear at once? Or is it smarter to wait until the first is fully healed and then get the other one?

It’s usually not a big deal to get multiple piercings in the same ear, other than a sometimes slightly-prolonged healing time. It’s actually a better idea to get two piercings in one ear than one piercing in each ear (with the exception of earlobes). When you do some sort of cartilage piercing in each ear, you don’t leave yourself a “good” ear for sleeping, using the telephone etc. One ear inevitably get’s beat up a bit more and can take quite a bit longer to heal. Hope that helps!

Hello! I was wondering if you guys are willing to do an inverse belly button piercing and normal belly button piercing at the same visit? I

Potentially. It would all depend upon whether you are well-suited anatomically for the lower navel piercing, and then it would be a matter of how the two pieces of jewelry would interact. If there is a good chance the two pieces of jewelry would bump against each other, then we wouldn’t want to do both piercings at the same time. Hope that helps!

The first of the beauties we brought back from the @safepiercing Conference and Jewelry Expo. This combination of rose gold and blue lace agate is so gorgeous!

It's been a while since we've had this gem swirl design, but we are really excited to have them back! This rose gold and cubic zirconia piece Westin used for a fresh nostril piercing is perfect.

I got my septum pierced a few months ago and it is fully healed. I am excited to try new styles of jewelry, but the last septum ring I bought was too small and it was very uncomfortable to wear. Do you have any tips on finding the correct size?

The best way to get the right size is to visit an experienced professional and have them help you determine the size (or sizes) that will fit you best. The only other option is through trial and error, by buying pieces and see how they fit. That can obviously get expensive. Most piercers will help you with to this for free or a very small fee. It really is the best way to get the best for your jewelry. Best of luck!

We’ve been  ̶d̶r̶o̶o̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶o̶v̶e̶r̶ fixated on these Afghan Tourmaline baguettes since they arrived the other day. The baguette shape, combined with the color of the gem, is an incredible combination.

These pieces could be worn separately, but they would make an amazing matching set. Stop in and let’s figure out where you could wear these beauties.

Check out this conch piercing @lilfry10 did on a client he has been piercing since his very first guest spot at Saint Sabrina's. We ordered this "Tecolate" specifically for her to use in this piercing.

Such a great piece!

There's something special about this black rhodium gold and opal piece from BVLA. It's striking and subtle at the same time, and we totally dig it.
