Pierce Of Art Alfreton

The country is in a very strange place at the moment, with most of us sat at home for our and others safety. And of course, we are closed at the moment as advised by the government. So we’ve put a little tool kit together to help you with any problems that may arise while we aren’t here to help you in person!   “My ball has come unscrewed!” If you still have the ball, and would like to try screwing it back on, we recommend standing over the sink, with the plug in and a towel in the sink (in case you drop the ball!). Don’t look in a mirror, and try 3 times. If you can’t manage it after 3 times, pop some breathable surgical tape over it (not plasters as they cause sweating and potentially suffocate the wound), to keep the bar in place, and wait until we are open...or try again when it’s less frustrating!  “My piercing is new!” Okay, clean it twice a day with sterile saline (neilmed or stericlens are perfect!) and leave it alone! Normal aftercare rules apply.  ...

WARNING! This post contains graphic images of problem tongue piercings that you may find distressing if you are squemish...if you would like to read the information without the photos please email alfreton@pierceofart.co.uk and we can send you an image free version! We can confidently say we are asked on a weekly basis ' can you pierce snake eyes? ' the response from any of us will always be no , sorry! The same goes for horizontal tongue/'scoop' piercings. We understand it looks cool, we completely agree, but the risks are too high for it to be a safe, viable piercing. And we aren't going to take that risk with your body and your safety. Our customers are our priority and we would never knowingly put them at risk. So that means snake eyes are a firm no. But why?! I hear you exclaim...here's why. Your tongue is an incredible piece of machinery...it means you can eat, drink and talk! Without it those things would be a lot more difficult. It can do all...

We love gold. Like...really love it. It's great, versatile and so pretty. Did you know we stock some of the worlds leading manufacturers of gold body jewellery?  All of these manufactures make some of the best gold body jewellery in the world, using body safe materials, and genuine stones. We also work with some of the best jewellers in the world, allowing us to have jewellery custom made just for you...if you have an idea in your mind, we can help make it a reality! Gold allows for that to happen, and for more intricate designs than titanium as it is easier for jewellers to work with and achieve those designs. We stock jewellery in yellow gold, rose gold and white gold, to suit everyone's style. Gold isn't for everyone, so if you have a sensitivity it's important to be careful and to ask questions, but this is why we still use high quality, internally threaded, implant grade, titanium posts to be worn inside your body. We make an effort to work with co...

Short Answer: Both. Don't get us wrong, we aren't offering daith piercings as a cure to anything - we aren't doctors and we are not going to give anyone false hope, but we see a lot of people have success with their migraines after a daith piercing. The Science Bit - currently there is no scientific evidence to suggest daith piercings are connected in anyway to your headaches or migraines. No studies have been conducted so there are no proven scientific results. However, a quick google search and you will see hundreds of results from people claiming it worked for them- and this is echoed in what clients feedback to us. So even though there is no solid scientific studies or evidence, who are we to take anything away from anyone if they are getting some relief from something as awful as migraines? We really can't promise you will be cured, but we can promise you will have a well exectued, beautiful piercing in your ear. And if that well executed, beautiful piercing...

Colour is a great tool if you are wanting to make your piercing look extra special, but you aren't a fan of gems. Or if you are just a big fan of colour. There are lots of ways to achieve the look you are wanting from your piercings, and today we are going to talk about what ways are safest and what you should avoid! Anodising First up...anodising. This method is great, as we can achieve the colour you want in the studio, without having to order anything and wait for delivery, as we have an in-house anodiser. We can change the colour of titanium jewellery to one of 32 different colours using this method. Anodising is chemical reaction which works on select metals, causing them to change colour. This is the safest way to quickly achieve coloured jewellery, from gold, to purple, to green, to pink! Whatever suits you! We can also achieve different effects using anodising, such as multiple colours, stripes and spots...this does depend on the style and size of the jewellery, but...
