Do you love piercings and change them regularly to stay on trend? Then, as a trendsetter, you need the perfect piercing shop! But what actually makes a good piercing shop? Firstly, it's the price, because you change piercings quite often, trends and fashions change, or your stretched piercing channel size changes as you stretch your piercing. In this case, you frequently need replacements, and your wallet has to be able to handle that. A good piercing shop is therefore affordable – meaning it offers fair prices for top quality. It's not cheap, because that would mean low prices at the expense of quality. Cheap junk won't last long, as such piercings either break quickly, can even cause allergies or infections, or are simply not aesthetically pleasing or comfortable (e.g., not smoothly finished). In this case, it's worth spending a little more to be happy and satisfied. If a piercing shop makes its own jewelry, it can, of course, offer lower prices.
Practical – a well-stocked piercing shop
The next key aspect of an excellent piercing shop is a comprehensive selection. A top-notch piercing shop should offer more than just barbells and rings. In the nose piercing category alone, there are now countless different models and ends, depending on what's most comfortable and practical for you: from straight metal studs to screw-shaped, transparent Bioflex ends, everything is available. And there have been significant developments in the ear piercing sector as well: standard studs are no longer sufficient. A good piercing shop now offers not only plugs, flesh tunnels, expanders, and stretching spirals in various shapes, but also ear weights, hooks, and half-tunnels. And let's not forget the accessories, such as pendants with chains for your flesh tunnels, rubber rings for single-flared plugs, etc. Even standard gauges are no longer enough, as it's not just lobe piercings that are being stretched these days: for plugs, it's standard practice for piercing shops to offer various sizes between 2mm and 50mm. However, other forms such as circular barbells, segment rings, straight barbells , etc. for the nose, nipples or the intimate area should now also be available in various strengths.
Boring or trendy?
The third crucial factor for the title of perfect piercing shop is its trendiness. Does the shop only offer its standard range, or is it constantly striving to present you with the latest trends, designs, and entirely new ideas? Are only round plugs available, or also shapes like diamonds, hearts, drops, hexagons, etc.? Are new, practical closure systems offered, and are existing systems regularly reviewed and improved? Are current motifs and designs from around the world incorporated so you can wear them as jewelry? Does the piercing shop offer completely new ideas, such as the trend for ear donuts or ear weights, half tunnels, and dermal anchors? If all of this applies to your piercing shop, then you've struck gold. If the shop also offers other jewelry like matching rings, bracelets, or necklaces in the same designs as the piercings, then you're in luck. How do you like our piercing shop? We creatively implement all three points and hope we can inspire you too!
