ASTM F-138 Implant grade certified stainless steel

Sterilization
Your safety is our top priority, sterilization is the key to that safety.
-
The Statim 2000 G4 is the fastest and most efficient autoclave in the world

It sterilizes items in under 7 minutes
-
It eliminates paper waste and increases vital studio space needed for a wider selection of jewelry
Skin Prep
Skin preparation is very important for a fresh piercing, it is one of the key steps in preventing infection of an open wound. We only use FDA approved pre-sterile applications in a no touch method:
-
Pre-sterile povidone iodine swabsticks
-
Pre-sterile 3.15% chlorhexidine gluconate swabsticks
In addition we also use single use pre sterilized markers to show you where your new piercing will be located.
