Frequently Asked Questions
Is acupuncture piercing more expensive?
Our pricing is competitive with premium piercing studios. The slight premium reflects the specialized training and additional time required for our acupuncture technique.
Can I get acupuncture piercing for cartilage?
Yes! Our method is particularly effective for cartilage piercings which are typically more painful. We can pierce helix, tragus, conch, and more.
How long does the numbing last?
The acupuncture effect typically lasts 1-2 hours post-procedure, helping through the initial sensitivity period.
