Our piercer accepts walk-ins or appointments! Piercings are available Sunday - Thursday from 11 AM - 6 PM.

Yes, we do select piercings for minors! For earlobes, they must be old enough to verbally consent and sit through the piercing. Our minimum age for ear piercings is 8 years old.

Please note: we won’t force anyone to go through with a piercing, and will stop the service immediately if your child withdraws consent at any time.

The following piercings are available for 13 and up only:

• Helix/Flat

• Nostril

• Septum

The following piercings are available for 16 and up only:

• All of the above

• All other cartilage ear piercings

• Eyebrow

• Navel/belly button

• Lip/Labret

We will NOT perform the following piercings on minors, even with parental consent:

• Dermal implants

• Surface piercings

• Oral piercings (tongue, smiley)

• Nipples

• Any “below-the-belt” piercings

Our piercer reserves the right to refuse service at their professional discretion. They will evaluate your child's temperament, cooperation, and ability to care for existing or previous piercings to determine whether they feel comfortable proceeding with the piercing. 

All minor clients must have a parent or guardian present that is listed on the child’s birth certificate. We require a copy of the birth certificate with the present parent's name listed, and that parent's ID as well.

Pain is always subjective—what feels intense to one person might be totally manageable to another. Most piercings involve just a quick, sharp pinch and are over in seconds.

At CryBaby, our professional piercers work efficiently and talk you through the entire process to help you feel as comfortable as possible. If you’re nervous, let us know—we’re here to support you every step of the way.

At CryBaby Tattoo, we follow the Association of Professional Piercers (APP) guidelines to ensure the safest and most effective healing process for your piercing.

Aftercare instructions can vary based on the type and location of your piercing, so we always recommend reviewing the APP’s official aftercare guide here: safepiercing.org/aftercare

You'll also receive personalized aftercare instructions at your appointment, but if you ever have questions or concerns during the healing process, don’t hesitate to reach out or stop by!

We recommend avoiding swimming in pools, oceans, lakes, hot tubs, and other bodies of water until your piercing is fully healed. These environments can introduce bacteria that may lead to irritation or infection.

Healing times vary depending on the piercing, so be sure to follow the aftercare guidelines we provide and check the APP's recommendations here: safepiercing.org/aftercare

If you’re not sure whether it’s safe to swim, feel free to ask your piercer!

No. These products are far too harsh for healing piercings. They dry out the skin, damage healing tissue, and can lead to increased irritation or prolonged healing times. Instead, stick to sterile saline or a piercing aftercare solution recommended by your piercer or the Association of Professional Piercers (APP). Check out their aftercare guide here.

No. Twisting or turning your jewelry was once thought to help prevent it from “sticking,” but we now know it can actually cause more harm than good. Rotating the jewelry disrupts the healing tissue, introduces bacteria, and can delay the healing process. Just leave your jewelry in place and clean around it as directed.

Absolutely not. The idea of threading anything through your healing piercing—whether it’s actual floss or another material—is extremely unsanitary and can introduce bacteria, cause tearing, and set back the healing process. Piercings do not need to be “flossed”; proper external cleaning with saline is more than sufficient.

Not for long-term wear. Acrylic and plastic jewelry are porous materials, which means they can harbor bacteria and are difficult to clean thoroughly. They can also become brittle or crack over time. While plastic jewelry might be acceptable for very short-term use (such as during a medical procedure where metal is not allowed), we always recommend implant-grade metals or glass for safe, hygienic healing.

Not all bumps are keloids. In fact, true keloids are rare and genetically inherited. What many people mistake for a keloid is usually a hypertrophic scar or a pressure bump, which is much more common and often a result of trauma, improper jewelry, or irritation during healing. If you’re unsure what you’re dealing with, our piercers are happy to assess it and guide you toward proper care.

You should wait until your piercing is fully healed before changing your jewelry—this can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on the location. Changing it too early can cause irritation, prolong healing, or even lead to infection. Always check with your piercer before making any changes, and consider having your first jewelry change done professionally to avoid complications.

Due to insurance, health and safety regulations, no unattended children are permitted in the waiting area, and children are not permitted on the main studio floor at any time (unless they are having a piercing performed).

If you do not have an additional adult present to supervise your children, we will have to reschedule your appointment for a time when you are able to make childcare arrangements.

These guidelines help us maintain a safe, sterile, and focused environment for both clients and artists.
