Does getting a piercing hurt?
Everyone experiences pain differently, but it is usually a short, sharp sensation. Most people find it very manageable.
How long does getting a piercing take?
The piercing itself usually only takes a few seconds. Including explanation and preparation, the appointment generally takes around 20–30 minutes.
How old do I need to be to get a piercing?
The minimum age at Femme Piercing is 12 years old. Between the ages of 12 and 18, permission from a parent or guardian is required.
How should I take care of my piercing?
We provide clear aftercare instructions, but in general, keeping the piercing clean with a saline solution and avoiding unnecessary touching are the most important things.
How long does it take for a piercing to heal?
This depends on the placement. Earlobe piercings usually heal faster than cartilage piercings, for example. On average, healing takes between 6 and 12 months.
What is downsizing and why is it important?
Downsizing means replacing the jewelry with a shorter bar after approximately 8–12 weeks. This helps reduce irritation and promotes better healing.
When should I come back for downsizing?
We usually recommend this after about 8 to 12 weeks, depending on the piercing and how your body heals.
Can I choose different jewelry right away?
Yes, we offer different styles. However, we always choose jewelry that is suitable for the healing phase.
Can I swim with a new piercing?
It is best to avoid this during the first few weeks, especially in pools, the sea, or saunas because of bacteria.
What should I do if my piercing becomes red or irritated?
Continue cleaning it properly and come by or send us a message for advice. We are happy to help prevent further problems.
Can my body reject a piercing?
Yes, this can sometimes happen. We advise you on the correct placement and jewelry to minimize this risk as much as possible.
What materials do you use?
We work with high-quality materials such as titanium or gold that are suitable for new piercings and less likely to cause irritation.
Can I wear makeup around my piercing?
Try to avoid this around the piercing area during the first stage of healing to help prevent infections.
What if my piercing keeps bleeding?
A small amount of bleeding is normal right after getting pierced. If it continues, please contact us.
Can I exercise after getting pierced?
Yes, but be careful with pressure, sweat, and contact around the piercing area.
How often should I clean my piercing?
We usually recommend cleaning it twice a day, unless advised otherwise.
Can I twist or rotate my piercing?
No, this can disrupt the healing process and cause irritation.
What happens if I change my jewelry too early?
This can lead to irritation, infection, or even cause the piercing hole to close.
Can I come by if I’m unsure about the healing process?
Absolutely, we are happy to help and will gladly check it for you free of charge.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Both piercings and piercing services are by appointment only.
