We change jewelry for people all day everyday. We charge $5 for the service but that includes 1 change or 10 changes, so be sure to bundle and save! This is a walk-in only service so there may be a wait. For the jewelry changes you can bring jewelry with you or purchase it once you arrive and we can help you regardless of if we pierced you or not.
It could be, but often times it is caused by irritation such as bumping, catching, playing with, clothing choices or sleeping on the piercing. Any of these can lead to the jewelry not fitting correctly and this in turn can cause more swelling and redness. We have several solutions to fixing the issues depending on the situation and your body type. We start with the most general and from there narrow it down to the best fit for you. We can usually get any issue under control without losing the piercing but we want to be as proactive as possible, so please come see us with any concerns and if we think you need to see a Dr. we will let you know.
You may notice some drainage coming from a new piercing in it's healing phase. While this is normal for any new piercing(some more than others) the drainage should be a yellowish brown color often containing lymph fluid, sebum, and possibly some blood. Please be sure to rinse thoroughly in the bath or shower removing as much as possible without causing movement to the piercing. If you are ever unsure whether your piercing is healthy and happy please don't hesitate coming by the shop so a piercer can take a look. We would rather see you too much than not enough.
