If you need to reschedule your appointment, please do so as far in advance as possible.
Can I / should I use numbing cream?
At Burdlife, we do not allow the use of numbing cream. While creams like lidocaine can reduce surface skin sensation, they often cause tissue constriction, swelling, or texture changes that can make precise, straight, and safe piercing difficult. Numbing agents act as vasoconstrictors, changing tissue firmness and increasing the likelihood of crooked jewelry placement once the swelling subsides. Additionally, these creams only affect the top layer of skin and fail to eliminate the pain of the needle passing through deeper tissue.
Better alternatives for pain management:
-Breathing Techniques: Focusing on inhaling before the piercing and exhaling during the process.
- Trust Your Piercer: Rely on the speed and skill of a qualified professional. Most people describe the experience as a quick, controlled pinch followed by slight pressure.
What are the age requirements?
We pierce children 5 years and up. Children under 18, need to be accompanied by their legal guardian and carry a birth certificate and legal guardian's ID. Legal guardian needs to be 18 years and older.
