While we warmly welcome walk-ins, availability is subject to reservation slots. We highly recommend scheduling an appointment in advance to ensure your placement and facilitate a smoother experience.

We advise refraining from alcohol consumption within 24 hours prior to your appointment. To minimize the risk of infections and facilitate a smoother experience, it is recommended to wash your hair the day before. Additionally, if feasible, kindly remove any earrings in the vicinity of the intended piercing area beforehand to expedite the process during your in-store visit. It is also recommended to eat and drink well before your appointment.

For optimal and expedited healing, it is generally advisable to limit the number of piercings to a maximum of four at once. For reservations involving multiple piercings across different individuals, we kindly request that each person be booked individually, requiring a separate appointment for each individual.

We offer a variety of pre-sterilized surgical steel and 24K gold PVD jewelry options, available for closer examination in-store.

Not typically! The use of a piercing gun is discouraged as it doesn't pierce but rather tears through flesh, resulting in increased scar tissue and prolonged healing times. Furthermore, the forceful impact can lead to permanent cartilage damage. We advocate for the use of needles as a safer and quicker healing alternative. While pain perception varies individually, a commonly cited comparison is that the sensation is akin to receiving a vaccine. On a pain scale, lobes typically rate 2-3 out of 10, while cartilage piercings are generally considered a 5-6 out of 10.

It is imperative to treat the piercing as an open wound and handle it with utmost care. For detailed aftercare instructions, please refer to our dedicated aftercare page.

The healing duration for piercings varies based on their location, ranging from 2-3 months for lobes to 8-12 months for cartilage. Generally, sensitivity tends to subside after approximately one week for lobes and 3-4 weeks for cartilage piercings.

Once the piercing has undergone the designated healing period, you can expect a reduction in symptoms such as pus, crusts, and sensitivity. Once the previously mentioned symptoms cease, it is an indication that your piercing is healed. In the event that your piercing is exposed to low-quality jewelry, heavy earrings, or becomes entangled in clothing or hair, there's a possibility of the wound reopening. In such cases, it may be necessary to revert to the initial piercing jewelry for proper healing.

It's important to note that the comfort levels for piercing children may vary at each location, so it's advisable to contact the establishment in advance. Typically, establishments tend to accept piercing for individuals above the age of 12. It is recommended to call the specific piercing location to inquire about children below 12.

The appointment is scheduled for 15-20 minutes, although the actual piercing procedure typically lasts no more than 30 seconds to 1 minute. The process is swift and efficient.

All our current earrings feature tiny butterfly backings, making them easy for clients to remove on their own. These small backings are designed for maximum comfort and to minimize the retention of bacteria. If you ever notice excessive buildup behind the earring, these backings provide a way to remove trapped bacteria without disturbing the piercing or impeding the healing process. Should you need to do this, we highly advise returning to your Pilgrim piercer so that they can ensure the well-being of your piercing.

We use SS316L, a surgical implant-grade steel, that stands as the most utilized material for body jewelry. Our surgical steel is ASTM F138 compliant. This metal is widely used by the piercing industry and is often chosen for its suitability for prolonged skin contact.

Our PVD Gold jewelry distinguishes itself from gold-plated, gold-filled, or gold overlay/vermeil pieces by its inherent resistance to tarnishing. Crafted with genuine 24K Gold, our jewelry undergoes a PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) process, applied onto ASTM F-138 compliant surgical steel. This ensures exceptional durability and longevity as well as biocompatibility.
