Our silver studs are made of surgical steel that meet the ASTM F-138 standards.
For sanitary reasons, our piercing studs are only available for purchase in our stores.
HOW CAN I BOOK AN APPOINTMENT?
To book your piercing appointment click here and then select the store where you'd like to get pierced.
DO YOU TAKE WALK INS?
While we warmly welcome walk-ins, availability is subject to reservation slots. We highly recommend scheduling an appointment in advance to secure your spot and facilitate a smoother experience.
IS IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO RECEIVE A PIERCING IF I'M BELOW THE AGE OF 18?
Of course! Piercing is permitted in all of our stores for individuals under 18 with mandatory parental consent. However, unaccompanied minors will be declined. 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. Generally, establishments tend to accept piercing for individuals above the age of 10. It is recommended to call the specific piercing location to inquire about children below the age of 10.
SHOULD I PREPARE ANYTHING BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT?
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, please remove any earrings in the vicinity of the intended piercing area beforehand to expedite the process during your in-store visit.
HOW LONG IS THE DURATION OF THE APPOINTMENT?
The appointment is scheduled for 15 minutes, although the actual piercing procedure typically lasts no more than 30 seconds to 1 minute.
HOW MANY PIERCINGS CAN I GET DONE IN ONE 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.
WHAT EARRINGS CAN I GET PIERCED WITH?
We offer a variety of pre-sterilized surgical steel jewellery options, available for closer examination in-store. You can explore some of our piercing studs here.
Does needle piercing hurts more than gun piercing?
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.
CAN I GET FACE PIERCINGS?
We do not provide services for facial piercings.
How is the healing process?
The healing duration for piercings varies based on their location, ranging from 1-2 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.
What backings do the piercing jewellery have?
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.
What Surgical Steel do you use?
We use SS316L, a surgical implant-grade steel, that stands as the most utilized material for body jewellery. 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.
HOW SHOULD I TREAT MY NEW PIERCING?
It is imperative to treat the piercing as an open wound and handle it with the utmost care. For detailed aftercare instructions, please refer to our Piercing Care Guide here.
HOW DO I KNOW IF MY PIERCING IS HEALED?
- No redness tingling, swelling or liquid discharges.
- No irritation or sensitivity when touched/pulled/turned.
- Wait the commended healing period before removing your initial earring.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY PIERCING GETS INFECTED?
- Minimize direct contact with hands.
- Clean the area frequently with saline solution & cotton swabs.
- For swelling, pus or pain signal infection; seek immediate medical attention.
