Piercing at SHADY TATTOO, Wieluń

• ear piercing – the lobe and other parts of the ear, done with the STUDEX System75; see types of ear piercing,
• nose piercing – see nose piercing – types and healing,
• navel (belly button) piercing – see navel piercing – healing and preparation.

Aftercare for both: nose and navel piercing aftercare.

Ask when booking which placement and jewellery suit your anatomy – Martyna will advise you before the piercing.

Piercing is performed by Martyna, our studio manager – ear piercing (with the STUDEX System75), nose and navel piercing. The piercing photos in our portfolio are her work. Ask her about dates and details. Not sure which spot to choose? Read about the types of ear piercing.

In general, under Polish law a minor needs the consent of a parent or legal guardian.

Fresh piercings are usually fitted with jewellery made of low-allergy materials, such as implant-grade titanium. A longer stud goes in first to leave room for swelling; it’s swapped for a shorter one after the swelling has gone down, ideally by a piercer.

The cost depends on the type of piercing and the jewellery – ask when you book, by phone or on Instagram.

Before your visit

• eat a meal and get a good night’s sleep,
• don’t drink alcohol before the procedure,
• tell the person doing the piercing about any medical conditions, allergies (e.g. to metals) and medication, especially anything that affects blood clotting,
• don’t come with an infection, wound or skin irritation at the piercing site.

During the procedure

The site is disinfected and marked, and sterile, single-use needles are used.

Daily hygiene

• wash your hands before every time you touch the piercing,
• clean it with the product your piercer recommends, e.g. sterile saline,
• don’t remove the jewellery while it heals; handle it as your piercer instructs.

What to avoid

Swimming pools, saunas and open water; pressure on the piercing (e.g. sleeping on it or tight clothing); and cosmetics that irritate the skin.

How long healing takes

It depends on the placement: an earlobe usually heals in a few weeks, cartilage can take several months or longer, a nostril usually a few months, and a navel piercing around six months to a year, sometimes longer.

If pain, swelling or redness get worse, or you notice pus, fever or the jewellery starting to sink into the skin, contact a doctor. Only remove the jewellery if a doctor or piercer tells you to. For minor concerns, ask the person who did your piercing.

Thinking about an ear, nose or navel piercing? Call or message us and ask Martyna about a date and the details.
