We have a notice displayed within the studio informing the client to the medical conditions that we require to be declared on a
consent form.
Informing us of these or any other medical condition that you think may affect your piercing or its ability to heal, may not necessarily prevent you from having a piercing.
Telling us may enable us to meet any special needs and prevent any potentially serious complications.We may advise you to ask your own GP for advise and return at a later date, or it may be irrelevant but better to mention it!
If a condition applies to you, you may satisfy yourself by contacting your GP first.
It is worth noting that you will be unable to donate blood for 12 months following a piercing.

ILLNESS AFFECTS YOUR BODYS ABILITY TO IF YOU FEEL UNWELL DON`T GET PIERCED!
The conditions that we require you to inform us are listed alphabetically.
- Allergic Reactions.
-
Nickel- we use Titanium which conforms to an EU Directive on initial piercings, therefore you should be fine, however, if you are VERY sensitive we can use PTFE, which is a form of Acrylic, therefore NO metal content.
I am constantly asked can I use 9CT Gold as that`s all they can wear, the answer is no....9CT Gold has too much Nickel to conform to intial piercings, as you go up in grade of gold, it becomes too porous to be hygienic in initial piercings, however these days, High Tech Gold Titanium is available for all piercings, it looks exactly like quality gold but it is approx 30% dearer, we do hold it in stock.
Adhesive plaster sensitivity- this is only revelant where a plaster may be used ie Navel, Nipple, oblongata, and will obvously not be used - Asthma
-
Anxiety of piercing can bring on an attack- bring inhaler in case.
Xylocaine, for numbing cannot be used for oral piercings, if you are asthmatic, though the piercing may be carried out without. - Cellutitis
- Can lead to septiceamia.Seek advice from Doctor.
- Diabetes
- Healing may be inhibited,if you are quite settled with your diabetes you should be fine,though you would be advised to Seek advice from Doctor.
- Fainting
- Eat prior to piercing to keep sugar levels up to prevent the likely hood of fainting, don`t attempt to get up too quickly after, remove outer garments to prevent getting too hot. Bring someone with you in case you faint after leaving the studio
However in our experience it is the accompanying person who faints rather than the person having the piercing themselves!!!!! - Haemorrhagic
- Disorders including Leukaemia.Seek advice from Doctor. Piercing NOT advised could be potentially dangerous.
- Heart Disease
