Thinking about a new piercing? Whether it’s your first or your fifteenth, choosing a safe and skilled piercer is key to ensuring your piercing not only looks amazing but also heals smoothly. At Industrial Strength in Newtown, we pride ourselves on creating a safe and stylish piercing experience. Let us walk you through what to look for when choosing your piercer.
Jewellery Matters
Not all jewellery is created equal! For both initial and healed piercings, you want implant-grade titanium (ASTM F-136) or solid 14kt gold from reputable brands. Why? These materials are biocompatible and significantly reduce the risk of irritation, allergies, or prolonged healing times.
At Industrial Strength, we’re proud to stock jewellery from pioneering brands like Industrial Strength itself, along with luxe gold options from Goldy Luxe, BVLA, Pupil Hall, and Buddha. With us, you’ll know your piercing is starting off on the right foot.
Anatomy is Everything
Here’s the deal: not all piercings are suitable for all anatomies, and a skilled piercer will let you know if something isn’t going to work for you. It’s not about saying “no” to your dream look; it’s about ensuring your piercing lasts and heals beautifully.
If a piercing isn’t viable for your anatomy, don’t worry—we’re here to help you find an alternative that suits your unique features perfectly. Our goal is for you to leave our studio with a piercing that makes you feel amazing and stands the test of time.
Jewellery Style & Healing Process
Looking for a specific jewellery style, like a hoop? It’s important to remember that certain styles aren’t suitable as initial jewellery. For example, hoops are often not recommended because they can complicate the healing process. But don’t fret—our piercers will help you choose jewellery that promotes healing, and we can guide you on when to switch to your desired style once your piercing is fully healed.
Find a Reputable Piercer
