How do I know if my piercing is fully healed?

As a guide, a lobe is usually ready after six to eight weeks and cartilage or nose placements after three to four months, but Theo checks in person before changing anything.

Can I bring jewellery I bought somewhere else?

We will fit it if it is genuinely implant-grade titanium or solid gold and the gauge is right, but we cannot guarantee the metal if it did not come from the studio.
