Lobe
Soft tissue. The first sitting, or another hole beside the one you already wear.

Services
A new piercing. A stack. A change. A piece made for you.
Consultation before a needle.
A new piercing, the jewellery you already wear, or a piece that does not exist until we make it. We work with jewellery style and anatomy to find the match for you.
What goes in first is implant-grade titanium or solid gold: lead-free, nickel-free, and cadmium-free. In studio, only disposable tools. No piercing guns. If it will not sit, we say so. There are no walk-ins.
Piercing
Give the jewellery you live in something new to play against. We would love to make your next piercing distinctly yours. Ear, face, or body: a first lobe, a helix over time, nostril, lip, brow, navel. More than one in a sitting, if it will sit. If it will not, we say so.
Ear
From a first lobe to an industrial, if the ear will take it.
Helix / Flat
Cartilage on the rim or the flat. We mark it to the ear you have, not a diagram.
Email usTragus
A small fold over the canal. We check it will sit with how you sleep and what you wear.
Email usConch
The bowl. A post to heal; a ring only if the ear will keep it.
Email usDaith
The inner fold. We pierce it if the fold is actually there to hold jewellery.
Email usRook
The ridge above the canal. If the ridge is not there, we say so.
Email usIndustrial
Two points, one bar. Most ears will not span it. We measure before we promise.
Email usForward Helix
The front rim, near the face. Tight space; we place it so a second hole can still sit.
Email usLip
Side, centre, or vertical. We look at your mouth, not a catalogue pose.
Lip / Labret
Side, centre, or vertical. Anatomy first.
Email usFace
Placed for how it will sit and heal, not how it photographs today.
Eyebrow
The brow, if the bone and the skin will keep it.
Email usStyling & Curation
Bring the ear you already have. We sit with it and build the stack, the line, whatever comes next. Browse ends in the catalogue, try them in the Fitting Room, and we fit the post to you.
Styling sitting
Healed work, a planned stack, or jewellery you already own. We dress it in front of us.
Email usJewellery changes and check-ups
A shorter post after swelling, a new end, or a quiet look at how you are healing. For the piercing you already wear.
Downsize
Timing and any fee are confirmed when the appointment is held. Until then, email if a fresh piercing needs attention.
Email usJewellery change
For fully healed piercings: a change and a brief check of the site. Email us, or reserve when you want it done at an appointment.
Email usCheck-up
A look at healing, jewellery that has moved, or a question about the site.
Email usBespoke jewellery design
Jewellery imagined for your placement, then made and fitted through the studio. If it is not in the limited selection, we order it. Tell us the look. We take it from there.
A piece made for you
The placement, the metal, the look. We source or commission it, then fit it when it arrives.
Email usBefore an appointment
Age, ID, and deposits apply once we are seeing clients. 18+; 16–17 lobes with a parent. FAQ
- Studio policy: clients aged 18 and over may book most piercings independently.
- Clients aged 16–17 may receive earlobe piercings only, with a parent or legal guardian present, written consent, and photo ID for both.
- We do not pierce anyone under 16. Cartilage, lip, nose, facial, and body placements are 18 and over.
- Under Queensland law, nipple and genital piercings on anyone under 18 are illegal even with parental consent.
- Valid photo ID is required for all clients at the time of appointment.
- Accepted forms: Australian passport, Australian driver licence (full or provisional), or a government-issued 18+ proof of age card.
- For clients aged 16–17, a parent or guardian must also present their own valid photo ID.
- If ID cannot be presented on the day, we may need to reschedule. Deposit terms are confirmed in writing when we take a deposit — none are taken until we open.
- Eat a full meal within two hours of your appointment — low blood sugar makes fainting more likely.
- Stay well hydrated on the day.
- Wear comfortable, accessible clothing for the area being pierced.
- Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours beforehand.
- Avoid aspirin or ibuprofen on the day — both can increase bleeding.
- Arrive on time. Late arrivals may need to reschedule.
- Every appointment begins with a consultation — included in your appointment time.
- We will mark the placement and ask for your approval before proceeding.
- The piercing itself is typically very quick — most clients are surprised.
- Some sensation, warmth, or brief discomfort during and immediately after is entirely normal.
- Full written aftercare guidance is provided before you leave.
- Questions by email — or at the reserved appointment once we are open.
- Usually up to three new piercings per session.
- Up to four may be possible with a good healing history and piercer agreement — discuss when booking.
- A multi-piercing ear is booked as its own reserved session.
- Healing more than one piercing at once is slower. We will say if fewer makes more sense.
- A non-refundable deposit is required to secure piercing appointments once we confirm, credited against the balance on the day.
- Cancellations with more than 48 hours notice may be transferred to a new date, once.
- Cancellations with less than 48 hours notice forfeit the deposit.
- If you need to reschedule, please reach out as early as possible — we always appreciate the notice.
A note on contraindications
Certain conditions, medications, or circumstances may affect suitability for piercing. If you have concerns — pregnancy, blood conditions, skin conditions, or a tendency to keloid — write before you reserve. We will advise honestly and, where it makes sense, suggest you speak with your GP first.
