Hoe zorg ik voor mijn schietoorbellen? How do I take care of my earrings done with a piercing gun?
Hieronder vind je de Nederlandstalige uitleg qua nazorg voor schietoorbelletjes.
For earrings done with a piercing gun it’s very important to not touch the new earrings and to not play with them. Take care of them twice a day for two weeks with a sterile salt solution or a product without alcohol.
After 6 or 8 weeks you can change the earrings into something else if you’d like, but if your earrings are still sensitive it’s better to wait a little longer. Make sure to keep something in for at least the first year or your holes will close up.
My piercing looks infected. What do I do?
When u have trouble healing your piercing we always recommend stopping by our shop and we will be happy to give you advice and help you heal your piercing. There’s a couple of different things that can happen requiring different treatment methods. When we see your piercing we can asses the situation and determine what could be the issue. You could have some swelling making the bar too short wich can be fixed by switching to a longer bar. U could have a bump which can be fixed by putting silicone discs between the piercing and the bump to put pressure and help release the fluid. These are just some examples of solutions, we offer these and more options in our shop.
How do I know which size I need?
The sizing system of piercings consists of 2 things: Thickness and lenght of the jewelry. There’s 3 different sizes of thickness. 0.8mm being the smallest which is used in our shop for nose piercings and lobes. 1.2 mm which is the most used size for all earpiercings like helix, forward helix, conch, tragus, daith etc. 1.6mm is the largest size and is used for belly button piercings, nipple and tongue. The length of the bar is different for every piercing and is personal to your body and anatomy. Sizes range from 4mm to 12mm for bars. Hoops range from 5 tot 12mm in diameter.
Can I return my order?
We can not accept returns because of sanitary reasons. If you are not sure which size you need we recommend coming to our shop were we are happy to help you.

What does the piercing process look like?
We have lots of videos on our tiktok showing how we pierce earlobes, bellybuttons, kids and lots more. Take a look and give us a follow to see more piercingcontent in the future 🙂
Our highest priority is working in a clean, sterile and safe environment. We also think it’s very important to take our time with each piercing and look at every person’s individual anatomy. Some piercings (for example, industrials) are very anatomy dependent. If you are in doubt or are questioning if a certain piercing is possible for you, you can always stop by our store to get it checked out!
If you have any questions regarding our piercing process you’re always welcome to send us a message or stop by the shop for more information.
