Inkredible Tattoo - Piercing

A piercing typically refers to a small hole made in the body, often intended for the insertion of jewelry. It’s achieved by pushing a sharp needle through the skin or cartilage and then replacing it with a piece of jewelry — be it an earring, nose ring, or other decorative items. Piercings can be found on many parts of the body, including the earlobes, cartilage, nose, eyebrows, lips, tongue, belly button, and even more intimate areas.

The choice to get a piercing can be a personal, cultural, or aesthetic decision. Depending on the location and the individual’s pain threshold, the process can range from mildly uncomfortable to significantly painful. Proper aftercare is essential to avoid infections or complications and to ensure the piercing heals properly. Over time, a well-maintained piercing will heal, leaving only the jewelry and a tiny channel in the skin visible. If jewelry is removed, the hole can close up, though the speed at which this happens varies from person to person and depends on how long the piercing has been in place.

Types of Piercing

Nose Piercing

A nose piercing is a specific type of body modification involving the penetration of the skin or cartilage of the nose to insert jewelry. It’s one of the most popular types of piercings worldwide and has deep cultural, traditional, and aesthetic significance for many people.

The nostril piercing is the most common type, followed by the septum and bridge piercings.

Ear Piercing

Ear piercing is the most prevalent form of body piercing. It typically involves creating a hole in the ear to accommodate various earring styles. At our INKredible tattoo studio, we boast a curated collection of the finest ear piercings, each hand-selected by our style experts.

Eyebrow Piercing

Eyebrow piercing is a bold and distinctive form of body modification where a hole is punctured through the eyebrow, allowing for the placement of jewelry. Often seen as a symbol of edginess and individuality, this type of piercing can be positioned vertically or horizontally, anywhere along the brow line. The jewelry choices for eyebrow piercings, ranging from curved barbells to rings, offer individuals an avenue to further personalize their look.

Belly Piercing

Belly piercing, commonly referred to as navel or belly button piercing, is a stylish and eye-catching form of body art. It involves puncturing the skin above or below the navel to insert a piece of jewelry, typically a curved barbell or a ring. Celebrated for its sensuous appeal, belly piercings have become a popular choice for those seeking a blend of allure and self-expression. The area around the navel offers a canvas for a variety of piercing styles, from the classic upper navel to the more adventurous inverse or horizontal placements. When done by a professional, it heals relatively quickly, but proper aftercare is crucial to avoid complications.

Dermal Piercing

Dermal piercing, also known as microdermal or single-point piercing, is a unique form of body modification where jewelry is embedded into the dermal layer of the skin, making it appear as though it’s sitting on the skin’s surface. Unlike traditional piercings that have an entry and exit point, a dermal piercing is anchored into the skin, with only the decorative top being visible. This technique allows for versatile placements across the body, from the collarbone, cheeks, or lower back, to almost anywhere one desires a hint of sparkle or adornment. Given the specific nature of this piercing, it requires a skilled piercer who uses a dermal punch or needle to create the pocket where the anchor is placed. Our studio ensures a hygienic and precise dermal piercing experience, combining professional expertise with a range of stunning jewelry options.

Lip/Tongue Piercing

Lip piercing is a striking form of body modification that punctures the lip or the areas surrounding the lip to insert jewelry. From the simple stud of the Monroe to the bold statement of a snake bite, lip piercings can be both subtle and provocative.
