Your Piercing Experience

Your appointment will start with you and I, I will talk through your vision and offer advice and suggestions, whether you are starting your piercing journey or adding to an existing curation.

At this stage I can determine the precise location and angle for your new piece . This spot is marked with ink for you to asses and check that it's right for you.I will then antiseptic that area of the pierce. Once the needle is in position I will ask you to take a deep breath in a make sure you are totally comfortable. The piercing process and instillation of the jewellery is quick.

Existing piercings and placement 

I base my positioning on each individuals anatomy considering the location of the jewellery and the angle at which it will hang. I will always make sure that I work with existing piercings to make sure you are happy with how everything looks together.

All of my piercings are performed with sterile, single-use needles. Needles open a small space in the ear tissue, a method that limits swelling and scarring in the surrounding area. Because needles are so precise, they help me execute complicated piercings that can't be done with a bulky gun. Needles also allow us to use different types of jewellery in your piercing, rather than limiting it to studs.

Safety Is absolutely paramount to me 

When it comes to getting pierced or having jewelry installed or changed out your health and safety for me is the most important thing.Before your appointment, all pieces and tools are sterilised in a autoclave every surface in the piercing room is disinfected and I change out my gloves during the appointment.
You will Leave Rook with an after care package along with a cleaner.
Taking proper care of your piercing is essential so that it heals properly before you begin experimenting with different jewellery.
 The jewellery you are pierced with is always slightly longer to accommodate any swelling that may occur within the first month. After four to six weeks, once the swelling has subsided and healing is underway, I can swap out your post for a shorter one to prevent jewellery from getting snagged.

 

I only use Titanium Jewellery to pierce with but I do have some solid gold and sterling silver pieces for when your piercing is completely healed.

The minimum age for first lobe piercings is 9 and for cartilage piercings is 15. If you're under 18 you must bring a parent or legal guardian along with you. Your parent or legal guardian must also have their own valid photo ID.
