To ensure your piercing experience is enjoyable and safe, all of our in-stock jewelry meets APP (Association of Professional Piercers) standards. We only carry internally threaded jewelry made of the finest materials. We also carry the largest selection of solid 14K and 18K solid gold body jewelry and precious gemstones in Central New York.
Our piercers stay up to date with the ever changing industry standards in health and safety by attending continuing education online and in person, across the United States and abroad. We attend conferences put on by the Association of Professional Piercers, and we have members on staff.
