Hi!

Septums can be a bit of a strange piercing when it comes to this sort of thing, and I don't want to generalize too much on a yes or no here.

While "it's just swelling" can often be an excuse used to hide a crooked piercing, initial swelling can sometimes cause septum piercings to appear less than perfectly straight for a few days to a week or so.

That said, if you are concerned about placement, any reputable piercer should have no issue at all with you wanting to stop by and double check - either immediately or after a few days if you choose to give it some time.

They will be best equipped to let you know if they feel as though the piercing may need to be adjusted, or if it just needs a little bit of time to calm down a little.

Best of luck!

Hey! I actually hadn't really gotten around yet to updating this page (do people still use tumblr?)

I am back piercing full time again!

You can find me every day but Tues / Weds at:

IRIS Piercing Studio

238 Metropolitan Ave

Brooklyn, NY. 11211.

Pricing will, as always, depend on jewelry chosen in the end! Each piercing would be a $35-$40 service fee, with simple jewelry beginning around $65. I'd encourage you to make an appointment and stop by to see your options :)

Hello!  I have done PA and Guiche piercings in the same sitting before multiple times.  I haven’t seen much issue at all when this is done, so the option is entirely yours.

Hi!  Unfortunately those are no longer available.If you’re located in the Northern Virginia area, @brilliancepiercing would be happy to order you another set for yourself!

Hello!For anyone hypersensitive to jewelry materials, my suggestion above anything else is always - if you’re able to - have your GP or doctor do an actual allergy test to see what you’re sensitive to or allergic to.  Jewelry will come in a handful of different materials, some of which are alloys containing other metals.  Without knowing what you’re sensitive to, it is technically impossible for us to promise you that jewelry would be safe to wear.  (This is why many people are sensitive to steel - because common steel body jewelry alloys contain a significant amount of nickel).In my personal experience, I love jewelry from Maria Tash and wear multiple pieces from their jewelry lines.  My very first piece of high end body jewelry was a Maria Tash Princess Horizontal clicker in my septum piercing many many years ago.Gold jewelry is culturally considered acceptable in body jewelry as we have centuries of anecdotal evidence showing success and pretty good biocompatibility - though it is not a blanket guarantee just as titanium is not.  If you have the ability, an allergy test is truly the best way to find out.

A doctor.  :) 

Absolutely not!  I have pierced people into their 70s and 80s. There’s no age limit at all in the slightest.

Hello and thank you very much for the kind words!   Unfortunately, I don’t believe that there is anyone very close to Dayton who I can think off offhand to send a client to.  If you don’t mind making a trip out to Columbus, Evolved Body Art will likely be the closest studio I can recommend.  I’d suggest stopping by and seeing Jared if you can :) 

Hello!I don’t tend to follow tattooing much in that area anymore, but I send most friends to Anya at Marlowe Ink Tattoo in Fairfax. 

Hello!At my studio, both piercings have a $30 service fee, and jewelry for each begins at $25. If you’d like to stop by the studio any time, we can go over all of your jewelry options and any pricing questions you may have.  :) 

Hello!  This is unfortunately not something that we can really determine over the internet.  I’d recommend visiting a reputable piercer in person for a consultation, it’ll be a lot more helpful of a way to determine what may be going on and what the fix may be.
