We offer services to clients ages 10 and up!

If you wear glasses or headphones regularly, it is a great idea to bring them to your appointment! This helps us navigate what piercings would work well, or not well, for you and your lifestyle. 

For our farsighted clients, bring your glasses or readers! Our jewelry can be quite small and detailed. 

If you play sports, we do not recommend removing or taping over new piercings.

With certain ear piercings, we strongly recommend against the use of earbuds, airpods, earplugs, stethoscopes, or any in-ear devices for the entirety of the year-long healing process. If you have any concerns, please bring your in-ear devices with you to your appointment.

For most initial piercings, we insist on piercing exclusively with studs, giving you the option of changing to a hoop after the piercing has had time to fully heal.

Curious about healing times? Check out our Pricing & Service menu for a breakdown of healing times by piercing.

We do not offer bilateral cartilage piercings (one on each ear). We stick to one ear at a time for optimal healing. If you have any cartilage piercings currently healing, we will want to work on that same ear.

We do not want to be healing more than 3-4 piercings at a time. Your body only has so many healing resources!

We only work with jewelry from our studio or from one of the jewelry companies we carry at Dorje. This ensures we can guarantee and stand by the quality of jewelry we are using! If you have any questions, please call us before booking!

If you have a particular piece of jewelry you’d like to wear in your piercing once it's healed please bring it along in a sealed container so the piercer can account for it when deciding on where to place your piercing.

If you would like to use jewelry from us for a new piercing, please drop it off during studio hours at least 1 week prior to your appointment so we can properly sterilize the jewelry!

We do not suggest submerging your piercing in shared bodies of water (lakes, pools, hot tubs, etc.) for the majority, if not all, of your healing period.

This is to prevent moisture related issues, limit the introduction of harmful bacteria to your healing piercing, and to avoid irritation from any chemicals.

For optimal healing on any piercing, we suggest avoiding air travel for the first 4-6 weeks of your initial piercing. Altitude pressure from flying can cause excess swelling and irritation, and no one wants to take a piercing on vacation!

If you were pierced with a stud, downsizing is incredibly important!

Our studs comes in two pieces - The decorative front piece and the back titanium post it secures into. We always pierce with a longer post to accommodate initial swelling! After the swelling has subsided, we suggest the posts be replaced with a shorter set to help ease and speed up the healing process. Since the decorative front piece doesn’t change, you just need to purchase shorter posts. Each new post is $15 plus a $10 insertion charge.

We send an email notification to you when it’s time to downsize your piercing! For a breakdown of downsizing timelines, please visit our Pricing & Service Menu.

You are more than welcome to bring one guest over the age of 18 to your appointment!

If you have an appointment for two people or a minor, no other guests will be allowed.

We have a parking lot behind our building! Head to the left of the building, up the driveway, and our lot is to the right. We have posted signage! If our parking lot is full, please use any available street parking.

Please do not park in our neighboring lots as you run the risk of being towed.
