Piercing appointments are FREE with purchase of piercing jewelry!

We also offer jewelry changeouts, downsizes, and personal consultations with a piercing artist. We invite you to visit our booking page for more information. 

We only pierce with jewelry appropriate for healing that has been purchased during your appointment at Marissa Collections. All jewelry is custom fit and sterilized at the store during your appointment.

Minors age 5 and older can get pierced at Marissa Collections if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Please make sure a parent or guardian brings their government issued ID, minors identification with birth certificate. No exceptions. 

We are a fully disposable studio, which means every tool is for one-time-use. We pierce with a hollow needle, which makes room for beautiful jewelry. For those wondering why we don’t pierce with a gun, they force a blunt jewelry end through your tissue and cause trauma, leading to a higher probability of infection as well as improperly placed piercings.

We do not provide numbing before piercings. When numbed, we cannot guarantee the quality or placement of the piercing due to distorted tissue. If you are too nervous about the pain of a piercing to consider completing it without numbing cream, we recommend waiting until you’re ready.

Your piercing artist will provide guidance on the appropriate jewelry to best fit your anatomy during your appointment.

We currently offer most ears piercings along with Nostril piercings. Stay tuned for more piercings in the future.

A fresh piercing is a puncture wound which will have a risk of getting infected. It is highly recommended to not go swimming during the initial healing phase to reduce the risk of infection. Avoid touching your piercing and maintain good hygiene to prevent the risk of infections.

Several factors can prolong the healing process. Catching your piercing on hair, brushes, sleeping on it, touching it, or not following proper aftercare can all be factors. Make sure to come in for your downsize and follow up with our piercer to troubleshoot.

You should use saline solution to clean your fresh piercing. We recommend NeilMed, which allows you to spray new piercings without touching them. Do not use the following on a fresh piercing: alcohol, bactine, hydrogen peroxide, disinfectants, soaps, or tea tree oil (so basically anything that’s not saline!).

We do not pierce people who are pregnant.

Unfortunately, our piercers cannot pierce you while you are actively breastfeeding. Breast feeding is hard on your immune system which allows for a higher chance of infection. Plus, infection can pass through the breast milk to the child. We recommend getting pierced about 3 months after you are done breastfeeding.

Any jewelry that you have been pierced with or that a piercer has installed for you is final sale.

Yes! After all, piercing is more fun with a friend!
