about us

Scott Jania, piercing technician with over 16 years experience in the industry and Esther McCreadie; owner, manager, jewellery buyer; both are committed to continual education and improvement in our technique and quality rich service. Esther and Scott come from two different ends of the spectrum. Esther, a Wellington native, spent the past 7 years living in Chicago, where she has developed an intense love of ethnic jewellery through her involvemnet in tribal style belly dance. She met Scott 7 years ago while he was working as the senior body piercer and manager of the piercing department inside "The Alley" alternative shopping complex. Since the beginning of Scott's career in 1993 he has done guest spots, attended the Association of Professional Piercers annual conference, but most importantly he has become part of a community of piercers who work hard for higher standards and better techniques. If you ask what Esther or Scott would want on their sandwich, the answer is always, more jewellery please. ________________________________________________________________________________

We strive to provide the cleanest, best quality piercing to you. We use a Statim 2000 autoclave. This allows us to sterilise everything for each piercing, including the gloves, in an individual cycle right before your procedure. We use only Nitrile gloves, so there is no concern of latex allergies.

We are also 100% disposable, NOTHING IS RE-USED. You know that the jewellery we use has NEVER been worn by anyone else.

We implement the use of sterile technique without clamps with each piercing procedure. By autoclave sterilising every item which will be used in the piercing procedure immediately prior to use, handling these items using sterile technique, then disposing of everything used, we reduce the risk of disease or infection transmission to you, our client. This allows for faster healing with minimal risk of complications.

Our piercing techniques do not require the use of clamps, pliers, or other contrivances, which may cause damage to the tissue being pierced. By using gentle tissue massage and alignment techniques, we can provide you with a piercing which looks and feels good from day one.

Our suggested aftercare for new piercings are simple to follow and requires no extra effort on your part. By providing you with a safe, simple, and gentle piercing, we eliminate the need for the use of complicated or risky, untested chemical aftercare regimes.

Our jewellery for use in new piercings is certified to meet ASTM standards deemed safe for surgical implant materials. This gives you a guarantee that the materials placed in your new piercings have been scientifically tested to be safe for prolonged and repeated wear in the body. For initial piercings, we carry: glass (pyrex and quartz) and internally threaded titanium.

We also carry a wide range of organic jewellery for healed piercings.

Materials include: stone, horn, bone, bamboo, wood and shell to name a few!
