Precision, comfort, and a placement made for you.

We believe that the child has the final say. If they decide they are not ready, we respect that decision completely. Our goal is to create positive experiences that build trust, not fear. We would much rather wait until a child feels comfortable than force them through an experience they are not prepared for.

For this reason, we require that every child receiving a piercing is able to remain reasonably calm, sit still, and participate willingly throughout the procedure. If a child is crying uncontrollably, attempting to pull away, or unable to remain still, we will not proceed with the piercing. Excessive movement not only creates an unsafe environment for the child and the piercer, but it can also increase trauma to the tissue and affect the precision of the piercing. If your child is not ready that day, we are always happy to welcome you back when they feel more confident.

Getting a piercing is only part of the process. Proper aftercare is essential, and every piercing requires time to heal. Some tenderness and discomfort during the first few days are completely normal, and following the recommended aftercare instructions is one of the most important parts of achieving a healthy, beautiful result.

Your safety is our highest priority. For that reason, we do not use any type of piercing gun. Regardless of the brand or design, piercing guns are not part of our practice. They rely on blunt force to push jewelry through the tissue and cannot be sterilized in a medical-grade autoclave in the same way as professional piercing instruments. At Picosa Ink, we believe every client deserves the highest standard of safety and precision.

Every piece of jewelry and every reusable stainless steel instrument used in our studio is sterilized in a medical-grade autoclave before each procedure. We use implant-grade titanium jewelry and perform every piercing with a sterile, single-use hollow needle. Hollow needles are specifically designed for body piercing and create a clean, precise opening while minimizing unnecessary tissue trauma, allowing for a smoother healing process.

At Picosa Ink, we are committed to providing an honest, respectful, and safe piercing experience for every client. Our philosophy is simple: education over pressure, informed consent over convenience, and quality over shortcuts.
