Question 1

I don't have photo ID. Can I still get pierced?

If you are over 16 you will need photo ID to get pierced. If you are 14+ you will need a parent or guardian to give their consent. They will need to bring photo ID for themselves and a passport or photo ID for you.

No. We will only accept government issued forms of identification. Passport, driving license, or citizenship card- this must include the PASS logo.

Question 5

How does individual anatomy affect the piercing process at Fourleaf Piercing?

Accepted Answer

At Fourleaf Piercing, individual anatomy plays a crucial role in the piercing process. If a piercing is deemed unsafe or unlikely to heal due to individual anatomy, customers have the option to choose another piercing or receive a refund. We process refunds within 3 to 5 working days, although they may appear in the account sooner.  Refund periods are subject to banking restrictions.

Question 6

How many piercings can I receive in one sitting?

Accepted Answer

The maximum number of piercings you can receive in one sitting is 3. If you are already healing other piercings, please note this number will be reduced. We are unable to offer any more than 3 piercings in a single sitting as your body needs the time and energy to be able to heal them.

We also advise against healing a cartilage piercing on each ear at the same time, as this leaves you without an ear to sleep on comfortably, and can cause issues during the healing process.

Question 7

How long will my piercing take to heal?

Accepted Answer

Piercings can take different lengths of time to properly heal, and stop being "crusty." This is due to piercing placement, jewellery size, and the individual getting pierced. Everyone heals things differently!

During the healing period we'd recommend leaving the piercing alone and following our aftercare advice. Here's the general standard time it takes to fully heal a piercing:

Earlobes - 12 weeks / 3 months
Cartilage/Nostrils/Navels - 6 months

Question 8

What do you recommend for aftercare?

Accepted Answer

Your first port of call should be the aftercare sheet we provide with each and every piercing appointment - it will never steer you wrong!

Should you have misplaced your aftercare sheet, then here's the gist:

Keep your piercing clean, keep it dry, and don't clog up the piercing channel. We recommend a sterile saline spray for proper piercing irrigation. Don't go using any chemicals or thick products, keep it simple.

We sell Neilmed sterile saline spray for £8 but any pharmacy will stock a sterile saline spray.

Also, don't play with your jewellery. Leave it alone to heal in peace!
