Piercing & Jewellery Guide | Tattoos By Charlene

Choosing a piercing and jewellery

Tattoos By Charlene offers professional piercing services in Johannesburg. The right placement and jewellery depend on your anatomy, the piercing type, healing needs and available jewellery. Not every piercing is suitable for every person, so placement is assessed before treatment.

Before your appointment

• Tell us which piercing you are interested in and whether you have had that area pierced before.
• Let us know about relevant allergies or sensitivities, previous healing problems and any health concerns that may affect suitability.
• Arrive sober and well, and eat beforehand.
• Bring valid identification and any guardian documentation required by law for a minor.
• Do not arrive expecting to change or pierce an irritated, infected or unhealed area without assessment.

Jewellery and upgrades

Jewellery options, sizes, styles and availability vary. An upgrade may cost extra and will be confirmed before you agree to it. Jewellery purchased from the website may have separate promotions from services. Do not assume a jewellery discount applies to the piercing service itself.

Healing and aftercare

Healing times vary by piercing and individual. Follow the aftercare instructions supplied for your piercing, avoid unnecessary touching or twisting, and do not change jewellery early. Cartilage and other piercings can take considerably longer to heal than earlobes. Seek medical advice for severe or worsening pain, spreading redness, fever or other concerning symptoms; do not rely on a studio message as a medical diagnosis.
