Apparently there is a new piercer in town doing this type of nonsense to people. Please be careful about who you get your piercings from. Make sure they have plenty of pictures of their work, including healed piercings. Not only is the absolute garbage jewelry they also clearly have no idea what they’re doing. The fact that they let this client leave the shop like this is absolutely disgusting. Spending a bit more for knowledge, experience and quality implant grade jewelry is never a bad choice. Stick with a reputable piercer who has a good reputation and who is always striving to further their education to learn more and do better. Just when I think I’ve seen everything, something like this crosses my path. So damn reckless and absolutely insane that someone paid for this butcher job. Be careful when choosing who will do your next piercing folks. Cause this ain’t it.😡

I’ve recently had several clients come see me for help with nose piercings they had done with a gun at Lovisa in the mall. I’m not even sure how they’re allowed to pierce through cartilage using a gun. Public Health Ontario specifically states that these guns are NOT to be used on anything besides the soft tissue of ear lobes. Still not something I would recommend but whatever. 🙄 Not only do they have no idea what they’re doing and have no way to properly sterilize their equipment but this is what they pierce your nose with! This super sharp spike is what you’re actually pierced with,no needle, using a device that’s not unlike something used to tag livestock. They then send that client home with a dangerously sharp piece of mystery metal jewelry in their nose. They offer no downsize or aftercare knowledge. I have had several clients who had this spike stabbing into their septum and bleeding. My most recent client came because her jewelry had fallen out. She contacted to see about having her jewelry reinstalled. They told her it would be less painful for her to just shove this back into her healing piercing than for them to do it. That is not what any reputable piercer would ever say to a client. Even if they never pierced them to begin with. Real piercers help you with your piercing. Let’s stop going to people who have no business piercing anyone. Do they know how to properly set up and tear down? Do they have any training in regards to bloodborne pathogens and cross contamination? These are very serious things that nobody should be taking a risk with. And they honestly aren’t really cheaper than going to a professional who uses quality implant grade titanium jewelry.
Please stop getting gun piercings at the mall. Do your research and go to a reputable piercer with a good reputation who uses APP approved jewelry. It’s so worth it!

This girl definitely has style and knew these were for her as soon as she saw them. She’s only 5 but she already has big plans for the future. Including a nose piercing, dyed hair and lots of tattoos. She was definitely full of character and was super fun to pierce and chat with. Thanks so much for your trust Zoella!

Taking your kids to a professional piercer is definitely becoming more common, which I love to see. Why would you trust someone with next to zero training to use a piercing gun like they are tagging livestock? Come see me instead. Your kids deserve a better piercing experience by a professional.💜

I pierce a ton of kids here. I always book extra time for them and will never pressure any child to get pierced. I never know quite how it’s going to go. There is often a lot of fear/anxiety and quite often some tears. Conner came to see me last week for his first piercing ever. He was pretty nervous but did an amazing job. And his excitement after was so awesome! He even got a round of applause from clients in the shop. It actually made my day.🙂

Athena came to see me for a jewelry change on her helix that’s well over a year old (definitely NOT by me). It’s clearly unhappy and struggling to heal. This is mainly due to a ridiculous choice of jewelry by her original piercer. A curve such as this is appropriate for a rook or an eyebrow piercing not for a helix. I’ve never met one reputable piercer who would ever make this jewelry choice. She was also never advised to downsize to a shorter bar which is crucial after around 6-8 weeks of healing. This jewelry is also super cheap externally threaded crap that likely contains nickel. Please do your research and confirm what type of jewelry you are being pierced with. I neglected to get an after picture but I switched this out for a snugger fitting implant grade titanium labret with a CZ trinity from
She still needed some wiggle room for healing but we should be able to downsize this post once her helix finally settles down and is healing happily.
Are you concerned about the quality, fit and/or appropriateness of jewelry from your piercer? Please reach out via DM or by calling the shop at 613-507-8783
It’s possible that being fitted for better quality appropriate jewelry will help.
