GB PIERCINGS
We are pleased to be able to offer a full, professional piercing service from Izzy, our resident piercer. She is fully trained and licensed with Bexley Council.
She will offer advice before, during and after all piercings and is happy to answer any questions you may have. We want your experience within our studio to be as pleasant as possible and this extends to the piercing room as well.
We only pierce in top quality titanium which is used by surgeons for injuries in car accidents. We prefer to use titanium over other metals as it is extremely rare to have an allergy to this type of metal.
Continuing check-ups are available when required and free aftercare advice is given to all clients.

AFTERCARE
DO NOT TOUCH YOUR NEW PIERCING WITHOUT THOROUGHLY WASHING YOUR HANDS FIRST!!!
* Clean your piercing 2 or 3 times (at LEAST twice) a day using a pinch of sea salt and half a mug of freshly boiled water which has been left to cool. Using a cotton bud, soak one end in the sea salt solution and use this to gently clean around the piercing. DO NOT use any other products unless directed to by your piercer, or a medical expert.
NEVER TWIST OR MOVE THE JEWELLERY! DO NOT TOUCH UNLESS CLEANING!
* NEVER remove the jewellery from your piercing without consulting your piercer and/or a medical expert, especially if you think it looks infected.
* It is NORMAL for your piercing to swell, and weep yellow pus for the duration of the healing.
* Try to avoid contact with shampoo / shower gel / perfume / body creams / aftershave / make-up / bath water. If you get anything in it, give it a good clean afterwards to prevent infection.
* DO NOT change the jewellery for at least 3 MONTHS (6 weeks for lobe piercings). If it is still sore, leave it longer.
* Taking anti-inflammatory pain killers such as Ibuprofen can help bring the swelling down and ease any achy feelings of the new piercing.
* Navel / Nipple Piercing: Please clean as directed above. It is best to wear loose fitting clothing that doesn’t rub against the piercing for the duration of the healing time. Avoid submerging in bathwater – showering is preferable.
* Oral Piercings: Please rinse your mouth out with the sea salt solution 2-3 times per day until healed. Lip piercings also require cleaning around the outside. Avoid mouthwash during healing time, as well as hot / spicy food. Chew slowly when eating to avoid catching the jewellery on your teeth. You may experience some discomfort and swelling while eating to begin with but soft foods such as soup, mashed potato, rice, pasta and ice cream can be more comfortable to eat.
* Tongue piercings need to return a week after the piercing for a free change down of smaller, more comfortable jewellery *
If you have any worries or problems, please don’t hesitate to either call us, pop into the shop, or send us a message on facebook or instagram and we’ll be happy to help!
