Common Questions About Body Jewelry at Premier Tattoo
What materials does Premier Tattoo stock for body jewelry?
Premier Tattoo stocks implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136), implant-grade surgical steel (ASTM F138), and a selection of 14k solid gold pieces. These are the materials professional piercers recommend because they are non-reactive, easy to clean, and appropriate for both fresh piercings and healed placements.
Can I bring my own jewelry to Premier Tattoo for a new piercing?
We recommend using jewelry purchased in-studio for any new piercing. Jewelry from outside sources may not meet implant-grade material standards or come in the correct gauge and length for safe initial healing. Bring your piece in for a staff assessment -- if it meets our standards, we can discuss options.
When should I come back to downsize my jewelry after a fresh piercing?
Downsizing timing depends on the placement and how your body heals, but most cartilage and nostril piercings are ready to downsize around six to eight weeks after the initial piercing. Lobes typically downsize sooner. We recommend returning to the studio so staff can assess healing before switching to a shorter post.
Do I need to get a piercing at Premier Tattoo to buy body jewelry there?
No. You can stop in to purchase body jewelry without booking a piercing. Bring the details of your placement -- gauge, placement location, and whether it's healed -- and staff can help you find the right piece. Call ahead at (217) 475-1108 to confirm a specific style or size is in stock before your visit.
How do I know which gauge of body jewelry is right for my piercing?
The gauge of your piercing was set when it was originally done, and jewelry must match that gauge to fit correctly. Most nostril piercings are 18g or 16g; most cartilage piercings are 16g; most navel piercings are 14g. If you're unsure, bring your current piece or stop in -- staff can measure and advise.
