FAQs
How much does a nose piercing cost at Ireland?
Nose piercing prices in Cork vary depending on placement (nostril, high nostril, or septum) and the jewellery you choose. Our pricing covers the professional piercing procedure and a starter piece of implant-grade jewellery. Please contact our studio or check our current price list for the most up-to-date rates.
What jewellery do you use for fresh piercings?
All fresh piercings are performed with implant-grade ASTM F136 titanium. These are the gold standard materials recommended by professional piercing associations worldwide. We do not use acrylic, plated metals, or mystery alloys. Your healing piercing deserves only body-safe, nickel-free metals.
How long does a belly button piercing take to heal?
Navel (belly button) piercings typically take 6 to 12 months to fully heal, though many people see significant improvement within 3–4 months with consistent aftercare. Surface piercings like the navel are particularly sensitive to movement and clothing friction. So, we will advise you on the best aftercare routine for your lifestyle.
What age do I need to be to get a piercing?
Irish law and our studio policy require that clients under 16 years of age be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who provides signed consent. Clients aged 16–17 may require written parental consent depending on the piercing type. All clients must present a valid ID. We reserve the right to decline any piercing we feel is not appropriate for the client’s age or anatomy.
Do you offer piercing jewellery to buy separately?
Yes, our studio stocks a curated range of body-safe piercing jewellery for healed piercings. Whether you are looking for a new nose ring, a helix hoop, a daith clicker, or a belly button bar, our in-studio piercing jewellery collections have you covered. Our piercers can also change jewellery in healed piercings for you.
