QUALITY
Steven's goal was to open a piercing shop that made every type of person feel welcomed and comfortable. He wanted to create an environment that offered nothing but the finest quality jewelry from around the world with a variety of designs and prices.
He carries only hypoallergenic implant grade titanium and certified 14K gold with diamonds to very rare gem stones; Carrying only the best metals used in the piercing industry. He wanted to find a way to make quality piercings available to everyone no matter the budget, so he decided to offer a complimentary hypoallergenic implant grade titanium jewelry piece with every piercing, something very rare in the piercing shop. Steven only uses hollow needles for trauma free and precise piercings which also results in a smoother puncture for faster healing with less swelling.
