FAQ’s

Can you use my personal jewelry to pierce with?

Unfortunately, no! All jewelry in fresh piercings (including downsizes) must be purchased from PBH and completed using brand new, sterilized pieces that are verified in quality and finish from reputable companies that can provide proper mill certificates to avoid liability and healing issues.

Can I video-record my piercing?

Getting pierced is an exciting experience and it’s natural to want to capture the moment. However:

Video and photo recording is NOT PERMITTED during the procedure, though photos may be taken afterwards! This is a safety, sterility, and liability issue, as well as an issue of personal comfort for your piercer.

Can I bring a friend in the room with me? What is the weight capacity on your chair?

Our piercing chair can accommodate a maximum weight capacity up to 400 lbs.

Only ONE guest is permitted in the piercing area at a time to spectate.

This ensures I have enough room to work and move around without creating any hazards.

14 Day Piercing Policy:

We offer free assistance for any issues with your new piercing within 14 days of the initial appointment including:
- embedded jewelry / longer posts
- reinstalling dislodged jewelry (must have original pieces - we do not replace lost jewelry)

After 14 days, service fees may apply for:
- jewelry changes
- tapering
- replacement posts
- other adjustments

I want you to love your new piercing! Please don't hesitate to contact me with questions or concerns if you feel something is off!

---

After this timeframe, it may be difficult to determine if the issue is related to the original service, especially if aftercare wasn’t followed.

We always make sure you’re happy with the marking/placement prior to piercing. If you later change your mind about the location, that’s a personal preference—not an error on our end. In those cases, our service has been completed as agreed, and re-pierces will incur our standard piercing fee.

Do I need to downsize my piercing? Is it free?

After your piercing has had some initial healing time, it's crucial to come back for a downsized post. When a piercing is fresh, we use a longer post to accommodate any swelling and ensure proper healing. However, once that swelling goes down, that longer post can cause problems like:

• Irritation or discomfort
• Snagging on hair or clothing
• Migration or shifting of the piercing
• Slower overall healing

Downsizing to a shorter post helps the jewelry sit more snugly and comfortably against the skin, reducing risks and promoting healthier healing.

The new downsized post is a completely new piece of jewelry, not just a modification of what you already have. Just like any high-quality body jewelry, it comes at a cost due to the materials used (like implant-grade titanium or solid gold) and the precision manufacturing involved.

However, I want to make this process as smooth and affordable as possible for you—that’s why I don’t charge for the service of changing it. You’re only paying for the new piece itself, and I’ll happily do the jewelry change for you free of charge to make sure it's done safely and correctly.

Downsized posts typically range at a discounted rate of $10-$15 / per piece.

It is your responsibility to check in with your piercer around your suggested downsize time frame and schedule your appointment.

Why do I need to pay a booking fee? Is it refundable?

A booking fee is a promise of future payment and will be taken off of the final price of your service the day of your appointment.

Putting down a booking fee secures the date/time window for your appointment so no one else can take your place. Your artist blocks this portion of their day off specifically for you.

Booking fees are non-refundable. Please read all booking terms carefully before sending your payment. Submitting your booking fee confirms that you have read and agreed to these terms.

No-shows and short notice reschedules (whether because you are nervous, forgot, or had something come up last minute) cause your artist to miss out on income vital to the success of their career and may hinder your ability to book in the further.

Jewelry Warranties, Returns, & Refunds

The reputable companies we use guarantee all jewelry against manufacturing defects and will replace or alter any item at their discretion.

If you have a claim, please contact your piercer/jewelry retailer for more information.

You will need to provide detailed information on your specific piece including: Company, Gem Color, Size, Style/Setting, Threading

*PBH does not accept returns or refunds OR offer exchanges for any purchased jewelry for hygiene reasons. PBH is not liable for any wear and tear to your jewelry or for items lost while in your possession. Once you leave the studio, it is your responsibility to ensure your jewelry is secure, safe, and properly worn.

Preparing For My Appointment

What to expect, and how to make sure you’re ready to go!

THE NIGHT BEFORE:
Drink plenty of water the night before and arrive to your appointment well-rested and sober. Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages for at least 12 hours before your appointment - as it could still cause your blood to thin the following day. As a reminder - we will not pierce anyone who is intoxicated, hungover (as these also lead to increased risk of fainting or vomiting), or overly disruptive.

DAY OF:
You may expect to be in the shop from 45 minutes - 1 hour.

We encourage you to bring small snacks and a drink to your appointment!

*Please note: For safety and focus, no children under 16 are permitted in the studio unless they have a scheduled appointment.

• Clothing Choice and Makeup: Wear comfortable clothing that provides easy access to the area being pierced and will not cause pressure or friction against your piercing. Avoid wearing foundation or makeup in the area that is being pierced; we will need to clean the area and this will be removed during the process.

• Practice good hygiene! Shower or bathe prior to your appointment and brush your teeth - especially for oral piercings - so you feel refreshed!

• Nourishment and Meds: Make sure you eat and are well hydrated before your appointment and do not drink caffeine. Avoid taking any OTC blood-thinners or anti-inflammatories beforehand as they may cause excess bleeding. Please inform your piercer of any disorders or conditions you have or any antibiotics or medications you take that could affect healing or the procedure.

• You cannot be pierced if you are pregnant or nursing. You must wait at least 1 year after most surgeries or procedures (cosmetic or otherwise) to be pierced in the area in which the procedure was performed. We cannot pierce through any filler. Always consult with your physician, specialist, or service-provider beforehand to see if receiving a piercing under these mentioned conditions will work for you.

PAYMENT:
We accept payment through cash, digital (CashApp, PayPal, or Venmo). Sales tax is charged on jewelry and aftercare purchases. We do NOT accept card.
