Atom and I are hopeful to provide a different kind of shop. We’re not tough guys. We aren’t too cool to smile and greet you when you walk in. We’re not ashamed of having Real Housewives play on our TV during our downtime. We’re not here for ego. We’re here because we enjoy our crafts and want people to love the skin they’re in. We’re here to offer inclusion to those that are often left out. We want everyone to express themselves freely and openly. When you sit in our chairs, we want to treat you as we have wanted to be treated as clients. We want you to feel special, appreciated, safe, and at-home.

What To Do

·Wash your hands prior to touching the piercing; leave it alone except when cleaning. It is not necessary to rotate the jewelry while healing except possibly during cleaning.

·Make sure that your jewelry and skin is free from any discharge before you attempt to move the jewelry. Irritation can occur when crusty matter is accidentally forced into the piercing.

·Stay healthy! Eat a nutritious diet. The healthier your lifestyle, the easier it will be for your piercing to heal. Exercise during healing is fine, just “listen” to your body.

·Make sure your bedding is kept clean and changed regularly. Wear clean, comfortable, breathable clothing that protects your piercing while sleeping.

·Showering is safer than taking a bath, because bathtubs tend to harbor bacteria. If you would like to take a bath, clean the tub well before each use.

Piercing bumps (especially on the nostril) are not a typical experience of the healing process for piercings, but they happen often enough that we can call them common. A small bump, resembling a keloid, forms on the outer surface directly beside the piercing. These bumps appear for a number of reasons. While they are unsightly and annoying, they are not permanent and will go away with minor treatment. First, let's go over some of the causes. The best way to get that bump to go away is to eliminate the culprit.
