Question 7

Do you do piercings?

Accepted Answer

YES! We do! We offer piercings by appointment only. To inquire on piercings and pricing please give us a call at 780-570-0373 or by email Anthemtattooco@gmail.com    *Most* Piercing service fees are $50 + the cost of jewelry. We DO NOT pierce with jewelry from outside the studio as we maintain a certain quality.   All piercings require a valid piece of photo ID, at 16+ you can sign for yourself for most piercings.  For minor paperwork we require a piece of photo ID from the parent or legal guardian signing and a piece of ID for the minor such as, but not limited to; Health care card or birth certificate. Kid Lobes (5-10 years old)
The youngest we pierce is 5 years old, kids lobes are done by appointment. We are an open concept studio, Evie will do a short consultation during the appointment to make sure the child wants to have their ears pierced and will take care of the piercings. She will not pierce the kiddo if they say no or resist. If possible we highly recommend picking up a topical numbing cream from a pharmacy to apply about an hour before the appointment if you have a nervous kiddo. Emla or Zensa cream is great! To apply the numbing cream you will need to put a nice layer on the front and back of the ear lobe and wrap with saran wrap for an hour before the appointment. 
Please keep in mind , we suggest NO swimming or submerging for 6-8 weeks. The earrings we pierce with need to stay in for 3-6 months minimum and we don't recommend removing them for sports while they are healing.
