All of our piercings (except earlobes) are $32 plus the cost of jewelry. Earlobes are $22 (each) plus the cost of jewelry.

How much does the jewelry cost?

We have an extensive selection of jewelry with a wide range of prices starting at $33. We’re happy to help you select the best jewelry for both your piercing and budget. We use the highest quality jewelry possible to help ensure that your healing process goes as smoothly as possible!

What kind of jewelry do you pierce with?

We follow the jewelry standard guidelines set forth by the APP – Association of Professional Piercers. You can read more about this here. We pierce with implant grade titanium (which is the same biocompatible metal used for hip and knee replacements!) or 18k & 14k nickel-free gold. We use the highest quality jewelry with the most biocompatible metals!

Do you take walk-ins for piercings?

We absolutely do! Walk-ins are welcome at both our 2520 Summit St. and 1980 N. High St. locations! We recommend coming in as early as you can though as we tend to be very busy. We do make appointments a priority so you may have a little wait.

Do you use piercing guns? What is the piercing process like?

We absolutely do NOT use piercing guns.

At our studio, we pierce with single-use needles, use an autoclave to sterilize our tools and jewelry, and follow strict hygiene protocols to ensure the health and safety of our clients and staff. These procedures, combined with the high-quality jewelry we sell, help our clients heal easier and faster. Our piercers are members of the Association of Professional Piercers (safepiercing.org).

In Spring 2020, a CCAD student interviewed Batt about the process. Check it out!

How many piercings can I get at one time?

We usually say that 2 is quite safe. If you are comfortable with the piercing process and the healing process, we will sometimes even do 4. You are always welcome to discuss this further with a piercer!

Where can I find my aftercare instructions?

In your receipt email, there is a link to our aftercare. You can also find it here!

Can I request a male, female, or non-binary piercer?

You absolutely can! When you come in for your appointment, please let us know if you have a preference.

Can I see the available jewelry on your website?

We have so so sooo many beautiful pieces of jewelry and they often turnover quickly. We’re happy to show you what we have in stock once you arrive at the studio.

Can I request a specific piercer?

When making an appointment online, we aren’t able to schedule with specific piercers. However, you can send us a message through the website and ask when your requested piercer is working that week and schedule your appointment for the appropriate time. Then, you can let us know when you come in which piercer you’d like to work with!

Can I bring my own jewelry to get pierced with?

We typically don’t pierce our clients with jewelry from outside of the studio. Simply put, we can’t guarantee its quality.

We do thorough research on all of the jewelry we carry to ensure it is of the highest quality and biocompatibility. We follow the jewelry standard guidelines set forth by the Association of Professional Piercers. You can read more about this here: https://safepiercing.org/jewelry-for-initial-piercings/ We have a wide selection of jewelry with a large price range. Our jewelry experts will be able to help you pick out the perfect piece! If you have any other questions, we will be happy to answer them for you!

I have some concerns about how my piercing is healing. What should I do?

We are here for you throughout the entire process of your piercing! Please come in and see us. It’s very important that we assess concerns in person to give you our best advice.

I need to take my jewelry out. Can you help?

We are always happy to help! If you are getting a medical procedure, we carry a range of retainers. We will insert them at no cost to you.

Once your procedure is over, we can put your jewelry back in at no cost.

If you want to change or take out your jewelry by yourself, we have created a series of videos to show you how our jewelry works. You can check them out here!

Do you pierce minors?

We love piercing minors! Each of our piercers have different requirements and restrictions regarding clients under the age of 18. You can contact us for more information by reaching out through social media, using the chat feature here on the website, emailing Booking@evolvedbodyart.com, or by calling us at 614-421-4444 or 614-947-1511. You can also read our minor policy here!

Can I bring my infant or toddler in to get pierced?

Our piercers truly love to pierce children (with their parent’s approval, of course). We think that it is a truly empowering and special experience. It is a special way to bond and to show support for each other. Because of this, we always encourage our friends, family, and clients to wait until the children are old enough to decide for themselves. We have found that by the time kids are 5, they are often more than ready.

If I just want to change my jewelry, how much will that cost?

We can change your jewelry and help you understand how your jewelry works at no cost to you. Come in to speak with a piercer!

Do your piercers do snake eye or horizontal tongue piercings?

We do not perform snake eye tongue piercings on our clients. It is an incredibly unsafe piercing. There is a high risk of rejection and it also causes gum damage and can crack or chip your teeth. Our piercers would be more than happy to help you figure out an alternative piercing!

Do daith piercings really help with migraines and headaches?

We absolutely do daith piercings. However, we do not recommend them for any medical reasons. There is no research to support that daith piercings have any curable effects on migraines. With that being said, we love piercing daiths but only recommend them for aesthetic purposes. Our piercers would love to answer any questions you may have about daith piercings!

How long should I wait in between stretching a piercing?

The minimum time you should wait in between stretches is one month but two months is preferred! If there has been any excessive irritation, it will take longer in between stretches as well. The main thing is patience and paying attention to your body.
