Jewelry & Piercing Approach
A successful piercing starts with proper placement, appropriate jewelry and an understanding of how each person’s anatomy can affect the piercing and healing process. Shannon takes an individualized approach to every piercing, helping clients choose a placement and jewelry option suited to the anatomy, personal style and the needs of a fresh piercing.
NW Finest Tattoo Co offers high-quality implant-grade titanium and 14k gold jewelry options for initial piercing. Shannon considers the piercing location, anatomy, appropriate sizing and healing requirements when helping clients select their jewelry.
Implant-Grade Titanium & 14k Jewelry
Not every piercing or placement is suitable for every person. Before performing a piercing, Shannon evaluates the client’s anatomy and discusses the desired placement to determine whether the piercing can be performed appropriately. When necessary she may recommend an alternative placement or jewelry option better suited to the individual.
Anatomy & Placement
Initial piercing jewelry may require additional length to accommodate swelling during the early healing process. Depending on the piercing, Shannon may recommend downsizing once the initial swelling has subsided to provide a more appropriate fit and help reduce unnecessary movement or irritation.
Jewelry Sizing & Downsizing
Outside jewelry may be used in some cases if the material, quality, style and sizing are appropriate for the piercing and initial healing process. Jewelry that can be reliably identified as suitable titanium or gold may be accepted at Shannon’s discretion and must be evaluated before being approved for use in a new piercing.
