COMMON QUESTIONS FROM OUR CLIENTS
Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
Answering your questions is what we here at Azzia Body Piercings live for. Remember that there’s no such thing as a bad question, and that we’ve heard just about everything. For your convenience, we’ve compiled a list of questions we often receive from our customers, but if there’s something we’ve missed, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Does getting pierced hurt?
This is not a simple answer! Everyone has different pain tolerances! Some areas tend to hurt more than other areas, but our professionally trained staff will inform you of all the information before the piercing and will guide you through the experience step by step!
What paperwork and restrictions should I be prepared for while being under the age of 18?
At Azzia Piercing we do required a legal guardian to sign off on you getting pierced. Proof/ID is needed and will be documented for our files, incase of an emergencies. Valid ID from the underage child can be a school ID, drivers license or birth certificate. Parent/Legal Guardian ID such as birth certificate, health care card, drivers license or court documentation!
I heard that some piercings can help medical issues such as migraines, is this true?
In some cases this can be true, but typically this is just a placebo effect as there is no clinical evidence this is actually true.
Why do people get pierced?
Getting pierced is a way to express yourself! We at Azzia Body Piercings strive on individualism and hope to be the most inclusive and supportive body piercing shop in Lethbridge!
Are infections common after piercings and if so how do I avoid getting one?
The most common issue with piercings is the way we care for them after getting pierced. Azzia Body Piercing gives you an aftercare card that may help reduce the risk of infection. We suggest salt water/saline solution when cleaning a new or infected piercing. If you are worried you may have an infection, you can call or come into the store and ask a staff member!
I have a metal allergy can I still get a piercing done?
It really depends on the allergy and how severe. A nickel allergy is the most common allergy we see in piercing shops. We would suggest upgrading to titanium or 14k gold earrings, rather than the surgical steel we use in all of our clients.
Will my health conditions affect me getting a piercing?
Some health conditions are more of a risk than others! When arriving for your appointment, we have each individual fill out a survey/health record and thoroughly read it over before going forward with the piercing. This ensures you are safe.
Will all the instruments being used on me be sanitized?
Yes! We have taken our time to perfect a proper cleaning, disinfecting and sanitizing protocol. We have a ultrasonic cleaner and autoclave on sight and all needles and gloves are one time use and discard immediately after use. If you have any questions during your visit or even before you book, reach out to us, we'd be happy to answer your questions!
How do I know my size of my piercing, so that I can buy the right sized jewelry?
Azzia Body Piercing, after every client, gives an aftercare card! On this card there will be instructions on how to care for your piercing as well as the size we pierced you with! This saves time for you, for future purchases.
