Piercing is permanent and needs trained hands. We spent years learning how to pierce safely and help you heal perfectly.
That's why we never use piercing guns. Guns can crush your ear tissue and make healing harder. We use sharp, sterile needles that make a clean hole. This helps your piercing heal faster and hurt less. Your body deserves the best care.

Why Choose Picosa Ink for Your Piercing?

Taking Care of Your New Piercing
Good aftercare helps your piercing heal quickly and look beautiful. Here's what to do after you get pierced:
- Wash your hands first: Always wash your hands before you touch your piercing. Don't touch it unless you're cleaning it.
- Clean it twice a day: Use sterile saline spray (we sell this at the studio). Spray the front and back of your piercing. Let it sit for a minute. Pat dry with clean paper towels. Never use cotton swabs.
- Don't twist or turn your jewelry: Your piercing doesn't need to move while it heals. Leave it alone except when cleaning.
- Avoid sleeping on it: Try not to sleep on your new piercing. Use a travel pillow with a hole in the middle to protect your ear while you sleep.
- Keep it dry: Avoid swimming pools, lakes, and oceans while your piercing heals. Showers are fine. Just rinse well.
- Don't change your jewelry too soon: Wait until your piercing is fully healed before you switch to new jewelry. Changing too early can hurt your healing.
- Watch for problems: Some redness and tenderness is normal for the first few weeks. If you see a lot of swelling, pus, or feel a lot of pain, call us right away.
Your piercing takes months to heal fully. Be patient and follow our care steps. We're here to help if you have any questions or concerns.
Most ear lobe piercings heal in 4 to 6 months. Upper ear piercings (like helix, tragus, conch) take 6 to 12 months to heal completely. Even when your piercing looks healed on the outside, it may still be healing inside. That's why it's important to wait before changing jewelry. Come back to see us for a free checkup when you're ready to switch.

We carry over 100 jewelry options for your piercing. All starter jewelry is made from safe materials that help you heal:

Most people say it feels like a quick pinch. The actual piercing takes just a few seconds. Some spots hurt more than others. Earlobes hurt the least. Cartilage piercings (like helix or tragus) can be more uncomfortable but still very quick.
Piercing guns push a blunt earring through your ear, which can crush your tissue and cause damage. They also can't be fully sterilized. Needles are much safer. They make a clean hole that heals faster and hurts less.
Ear lobes heal in 4 to 6 months. Upper ear piercings (helix, tragus, conch, daith, rook) take 6 to 12 months to fully heal. Nose piercings heal in about 6 to 9 months. Everyone heals at different speeds.
