Can I get pierced with a ring/hoop?

  • Yes and no…

  • Very few piercing heal better with rings vs studs or barbells.

    • Daith, Septum, and some genital piercings are exceptions.

  • We strongly suggest starting most other piercings with a stud or barbell.

    • Rings rotate, move and bring whatever is on the surface of the ring into the piercing track more than a stud does.

    •  Most people aren't keen on the look of an oversized hoop, and we have to give your piercing room for swelling and cleaning needs initially.

    • Thicker tissue needs a larger ring so the size and thickness of the ring is will also depend on anatomy.

  • It is great to know ahead of time that you plan to wear a ring so we can place your piercing accordingly.
