"The shop is SO clean and every room is a different theme — so cute! Vee talked me through the whole thing and I was in and out with the prettiest nose stud."
"Gabi did my helix and it was quick and barely hurt. Amazing customer service, great jewelry selection, and they always have deals on their IG!"
"Walked in with no appointment and got two lobes and a conch. Super clean, super friendly, and they made my nervous teen feel totally comfortable!"

Aftercare
Take good care of your new piece and it'll heal beautifully — here's the short version.
Quick aftercare basics 🧼
Simple & gentle is the way to go.
- ✿ Clean 3–5x a day with a sterile saline spray (NeilMed or H2Ocean). Skip rubbing alcohol & peroxide.
- ✿ Don't twist, spin, or play with your jewelry while it heals.
- ✿ Avoid pools, hot tubs & sleeping directly on it.
- ✿ Lobes heal in ~6–8 weeks; cartilage can take 6 months–1 year — be patient! 💕
- ✿ Questions or worried about anything? DM us any time — we've got you.
