About Piercing

WHY NEEDLES NOT “GUNS”?

Needles are sterilized individually and disposed of after each piercing. So that used with sterilized 316L surgical steel jewelry, disposable gloves and disinfectant, minimizes the risk of infection.

Guns however are notorious for infections since they are at best wiped between customers and can not be properly sterilized in an autoclave.

The studs have to be manipulated into place with the fingers, the studs are too short and frequently become embedded in the flesh if there is swelling and they are blunt thus causing trauma. Frequent complaints include fever, swelling, typhoid, allergies because the studs are not made of material of sufficient quality for piercing.

WHAT IS 316L SURGICAL STEEL?

316L is the most widely used of all body jewelry materials in Europe and complies with E.U. laws on piercing (94/27/EEC) Its strength and durability, along with its bright, shiny appearance, makes it ideal for construction of hard-wearing yet attractive body jewelry designs.

Surgical steel does not corrode or tarnish and with the occasional polish using soft lint-free cloth, will remain as bright as the day it was made.

Two-Thumb Tattoo Studio uses only the highest quality certified 316L grade Surgical Steel, to ensure that all our jewelry is as easy on the body as it is on the eye.

The stones in our jewelry are from the prestigious crystal company “Swarovski”

IS PIERCING SAFE?

Yes, if you go to a professional piercer that knows safe and proper body piercing procedure. Unsafe, unethical and uneducated piercers do not provide complete, accurate information, methods and material to the public.

Improper jewelry and badly placed piercing (tongue has a lot of nerves and veins) can cause discomfort, nose and nipple irritation, speech problems, broken teeth and outgrown navel piercings.

You might end up spending a lot more on medical bills than you saved on the piercing, local infections can spread through out the body an become life-threatening.

Avoid first jewelry made from sterling silver, gold or nickel silver

Some tattoo studios and even small stalls are offering piercing for RM 20.

Everyday they have to be doing 30 or more piercings everyday to make profit. This is just not probable, so they are going to be forced to cut corners somewhere in the procedure to make a profit. Ask yourself, do you want someone cutting corners with your health and safety to save a few ringgit?

All of our piercing is performed by talented artists with years of training - not just someone starting out. And prices are STILL reasonable.

Please, if you see that people have no idea what they are doing, walk out.
