BEFORE YOUR BODY PIERCING APPOINTMENT
![]()
Be sure to eat before your piercing. Being nervous on an empty stomach can make you light headed.

Plan plenty of time to get the work done. No need to be rushing in and out. An
artist is going to take as much time as he or she needs to make their work
spectacular – and this type of art is no exception. In addition, for those who
don’t have an appointment, there may be a line of people ahead of you. Also, if
your schedule allows, try to choose a mild weather day to get your piercing –
humid, sticky weather can lead to lightheadedness, and bellowing freezing
temperature days can make putting a hat or jacket over a fresh piercing very
uncomfortable.
Wear comfortable, loose clothing. Please see our “What To Wear When Getting Your
Body Piercing”
Be sure you have any identification you may need. If you are a minor, and your
area allows for underage body art, check your studio’s policies and
identification requirements.
And now you are ready to go. Have a great time!
