Piercing Jewelry & Placement
We offer high-quality implant-grade titanium and 14k gold jewelry for initial piercings. Jewelry is selected based on the type of piercing, your anatomy, appropriate sizing and the needs of the healing process. Our piercer will help you choose jewelry that provides the proper fit while complementing your individual style.
Jewelry Selection
Proper placement helps a piercing look balanced while also accounting for anatomy and healing. Before the piercing is performed, the placement is marked and reviewed so you can see where the jewelry will sit.
Piercing Placement
Some piercings may require downsizing after the initial swelling has subsided. Your piercer can advise you on when a jewelry change or downsize may be appropriate based on the piercing and how it is healing.
Downsizing & Jewelry Changes
Piercing Aftercare
Proper aftercare is an important part of the piercing process. Healing times vary depending on the type and location of the piercing, and some swelling, tenderness and crusting can be normal during healing. Following your piercer’s aftercare instructions and avoiding unnecessary irritation can help support a healthy healing process.
Wash your hands thoroughly before touching or cleaning your piercing. Use a sterile saline wound wash to gently clean the area as directed by your piercer. Avoid rotating, twisting or unnecessarily moving the jewelry while the piercing is healing.
Cleaning Your Piercing
Avoid picking at the piercing, excessive touching and using alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or other harsh products on the area. Be mindful of clothing, towels, headphones, sleeping positions and other sources of pressure or friction that could irritate the piercing.
What to Avoid While Healing
Healing Times
Piercing healing times vary considerably depending on the placement, your body and how the piercing is cared for. A piercing may look or feel healed on the outside before the tissue inside has fully healed, so continue following your aftercare instructions for the recommended healing period.
Keep your initial jewelry in place throughout the appropriate healing period unless your piercer recommends a change or downsize. Removing jewelry too early can interfere with healing, and some piercings can begin to close quickly.
Leave Your Initial Jewelry In
Swelling is common after many new piercings, so initial jewelry may be sized to allow room for it. Once swelling has subsided, certain piercings may benefit from downsizing to a better-fitting piece of jewelry. Shannon can advise you on whether and when your piercing should be downsized.

Piercing FAQ
Do I need an appointment for a piercing?
Appointments are recommended to ensure availability with our piercer. You can book your piercing appointment in advance through our website. Contact the shop if you have questions about a specific piercing before booking.
How much does a piercing cost?
Piercing prices vary depending on the type of piercing and jewelry selected. The total cost may include the piercing service and your choice of jewelry. Contact us or view our current booking options for pricing on the piercing you’re interested in.
What jewelry do you use for new piercings?
We offer high-quality implant-grade titanium and 14k gold jewelry for initial piercings. Your piercer will help determine the appropriate jewelry style and size based on the piercing, your anatomy and the needs of the healing process.
Can every piercing be performed on everyone?
Not always. Anatomy can affect whether certain piercings are appropriate and how they should be placed. Your piercer will evaluate the area before the procedure and may recommend an alternative placement or jewelry option if necessary.
What should I do if I’m concerned about my piercing?
Contact NW Finest Tattoo Co if you’re experiencing irritation, problems with jewelry fit or have questions about how your piercing is healing. Shannon can evaluate the piercing and recommend the appropriate next step. If you have symptoms that may indicate an infection or other medical problem, seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
How long does a piercing take to heal?
Healing time depends on the type and location of the piercing as well as the individual. Some piercings heal within a few months, while others can take considerably longer. Your piercer will provide aftercare guidance and an expected healing timeline for your specific piercing.
Does getting pierced hurt?
Everyone experiences piercing differently, but the actual piercing is typically very quick. The amount of discomfort can vary depending on the placement and the individual. Your piercer will explain the process beforehand so you know what to expect.
Can I bring my own jewelry to be pierced with?
In some cases, yes. Outside jewelry may be used for a new piercing if the material, quality, style and sizing are appropriate for the placement and initial healing process. Jewelry that can be reliably identified as suitable titanium or gold may be accepted at Shannon’s discretion. All outside jewelry must be evaluated by Shannon before it can be approved for use in a new piercing.
Can I change my jewelry after getting pierced?
Initial jewelry should generally remain in place during the early healing period unless your piercer recommends a change or downsize. Changing jewelry too early can irritate the piercing or interfere with healing. If you’re unsure whether your piercing is ready for new jewelry, contact us before changing it.
What age do you have to be to get pierced?
Age requirements vary depending on the type and placement of the piercing. We offer standard earlobe piercings starting at age 6, while other piercings may have different minimum-age requirements. For minors, additional identification and consent requirements may also apply. Please contact NW Finest Tattoo Co before booking to confirm the current requirements for the specific piercing you’re interested in.
