The Truth About Getting a New Piercing: What You Should Know Before You Go
Whether you're thinking about your very first piercing or adding another piece to your collection, getting pierced should be an exciting experience—not a stressful one. Choosing the right studio, quality jewelry, and following proper aftercare all play a huge role in how well your piercing heals.
At 22 Caliber Tattoo Studios, we believe that every piercing should be performed in a clean, professional environment using high-quality jewelry and sterile equipment.
Choosing the Right Jewelry
Not all body jewelry is created equal. Choosing quality materials can help reduce irritation and promote better healing.
We offer a variety of jewelry options, including:
- Implant-grade stainless steel
- Titanium
- Gold piercing jewelry
- Silver piercing jewelry
- Specialty jewelry by request

Proper Aftercare Matters
The healing process doesn't end when you leave the studio.
To help your piercing heal properly:
- Clean it exactly as instructed.
- Avoid touching it with dirty hands.
- Never remove jewelry too early.
- Avoid swimming until your piercer says it's safe.
- Be patient—some piercings take several months to heal completely.
Thinking About Multiple Piercings?
Many clients choose to create a complete ear curation or combine several piercings during one visit. Our experienced piercers can help you choose jewelry and placement that matches your style.
Flexible Payment Options
