Contact Us

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, You can contact us:

Do you carry gold jewelry?

Heck yeah!!! We love gold! Not only do we have standard gold jewelry, we have a variety of companies in white, yellow, and rose gold.

Visit our jewelry page for a list of our vendors.

What jewelry companies can I custom order through the shop?

We have a list of our vendors available on our jewelry page.

Can I order custom jewelry?

Absolutely! We require 50% deposit to create the order. Remainder to be paid upon arrival of jewelry.

Timeframes for arrival can vary from 1-6 months depending on the piece and company is being ordered from.

How long before I can go swimming?

Submerging any healing piercing is not advised. It does not matter if it is a lakes, river, lap pool, jacuzzi, or even baths. Showers are OK though!

Can I bring in my own jewelry to get pierced with?

If the jewelry is purchased from us we can potentially use it in a new piercing. It largely depends on length and fit.

Jewelry must be dropped off 24 hours in advance of your appointment so we can properly sterilize and prep your jewelry. When you bring your jewelry in 24 hours before, we can verify if we can use the jewelry for your piercing.

How long will my piercing take?

The piercing only takes a second. The whole process is only about 10-15 minutes. Appointment times are a half hour to accommodate for all your questions, concerns, and plans with your piercing.

Do you offer tandem piercings?

No. At this time we do not offer this.

When is it time to downsize my jewelry?

After a couple months swelling and inflammation should go down. Once you feel you have a good amount of wiggle room on your jewelry, feel free to pop in and downsize.

Can my brother/sister/cousin/aunt/uncle/grandma bring my kiddo in for a piercing?

No. Please see this page for all of our guidelines.

How long before I can change my jewelry?

This can vary based on the type of piercing and your body. All piercings have different healing timeframes. We need to wait until they are healed before you change jewelry regularly.

Here’s some general timeframes for most popular piercings:

  • Anchors: 4-6 months
  • Ear Cartilage: 9 -12 months
  • Ear Lobes: 4-6 months
  • Eye Brows: 4-6 months
  • Nostril: 6-8 months
  • Septum: 2-3 months
  • Lips: 4-6 months
  • Tongue: 2-3 months
  • Nipples: 6-9 months
  • Belly Button:  6-9 months

Oh no, I’m moving! Where should I go to downsize my fresh piercing?

The Association of Professional Piercers has a live map of all APP Member shops. Visit this to find a piercer in your upcoming neck of the woods.

My post/jewelry looks too long/short

It’s time to downsize/upsize! When pierced initially most piercings are done with a longer post length to accommodate for swelling from the new piercing. Typically swelling will dissipate in a couple months. Your piercing will appear long. This is a good thing! It means that you’re healing. You should get a shorter post more fitted to allow for a smoother healing process.

Sometimes piercings can swell more than anticipated. If you feel like your jewelry is pinching or too short, you need longer jewelry to accommodate for the extra inflammation.

Do you take tattoo walk-ins?

Our apprentice tattoo artist, Teryn, will accept tattoo walk-ins at select times. Call us at (208) 344-8287 to see when Teryn has availability for walk-ins. Our head tattoo artist, Stella Sin, works by appointment only.

How long does it take for a tattoo to heal?

On average, to settle beneath the skin, a tattoo goes through a settling period, which can take anywhere from a month to two months, at which point, the tattoo will be fully healed under the skin.

How should I care for my new tattoo?

After three hours, remove the bandage and wash your tattoo gently with mild soap and warm water. Pat it dry and apply a thin layer of ointment. Don’t scratch it! It might itch as it heals, but that’s normal and means it’s doing well.

What should I avoid before my tattoo appointment?

Steer clear of alcohol, Ibuprofen, and Aspirin 24 hours prior. Also, skip sun exposure or tanning beds 2 weeks before and after. Get good rest, eat well, hydrate, and wear comfy clothes for a breezy session!

Should I reschedule my tattoo appointment if I’m sick/pregnant?

Yes, being sick can make the experience more uncomfortable for you and risk spreading germs to the artist. If pregnant, it’s best to wait until after giving birth to avoid unnecessary strain.

Does getting a tattoo hurt?

Yes, pain levels vary by person and location. Some consider numbing creams, but they may wear off during the process, increasing sensitivity.
