Safety Measures for Piercing

Getting pierced with cheap body jewelry, like the ones manufactured overseas, can result in infections, allergic reactions, irritations, excessive scar damage, and other complications. At Church Of Steel Body Piercing, we believe in educating every individual to ensure they are receiving the safest, most aseptic piercing procedures possible.

All piercings should be done with body jewelry that is threaded on the inside of the post. Externally threaded jewelry has exposed threads that will tear the tissue on the way into or out of the piercing.

An autoclave is a piece of equipment used to sterilize implements (single-use needles, jewelry, etc.) and is the same as the one used in any hospital or surgical center. It utilizes a combination of steam and pressure in an airtight chamber to sterilize these implements.

Our job as professionals, and as individuals who are passionate about safe body art, is not finished when you walk out the door. We want to ensure that the healing of your new piercing goes smoothly. We will provide you with written and verbal care instructions, and you will have continuing access to us, anytime you need anything, so do not hesitate to call or stop by. Checkups are always FREE.
