The Treatment

What Is Piercings?

Maeven performs professional body piercings using single-use sterile needles — never guns — and implant-grade titanium starter jewelry. Titanium is hypoallergenic, lightweight, and the safest material for new piercings. The precision needle technique causes significantly less trauma than a gun and heals more predictably.

Available piercing locations include ear lobe and cartilage placements (helix, tragus, daith, rook, conch, flat), nostril, septum, navel, and others. All piercings are performed by trained staff in a clean, sterile environment with full aftercare instructions provided at the appointment.

Healing times vary by location. Lobes heal in 6 to 8 weeks. Cartilage piercings take 6 to 12 months for full healing, though they often feel healed much sooner. Proper aftercare during the healing period is the most important factor in outcome quality.

The Experience

What to Expect

Before

Eat a full meal before your appointment to keep blood sugar stable. Do not consume alcohol beforehand. Come with clean skin around the piercing site. Bring valid photo ID. Clients under 18 must bring a parent or guardian who will be present for the procedure and sign consent documentation.

During

The piercing area is cleaned and marked for your approval before anything proceeds. You confirm the exact placement. A single-use sterile needle creates the piercing in a fraction of a second. Starter titanium jewelry is immediately placed and secured. The sensation is a brief, sharp pinch lasting less than a second.

After

Clean your piercing twice daily with a sterile saline wound wash. Do not rotate, twist, or remove the jewelry during healing. Keep unwashed hands away from the piercing. Avoid submerging in pools, lakes, or hot tubs for 4 to 6 weeks. Do not use alcohol or hydrogen peroxide on the piercing.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it hurt?
The needle passes through in a fraction of a second, causing a brief sharp pinch. Most clients find it much less uncomfortable than anticipated. Cartilage piercings involve slightly more pressure than lobe piercings but are still fast. The anticipation is typically worse than the experience.
How long does healing take?
Ear lobes typically heal in 6 to 8 weeks. Cartilage piercings (helix, tragus, daith, etc.) take 6 to 12 months for complete healing, even if they feel comfortable sooner. Nostril piercings take 4 to 6 months. Full healing requires consistent aftercare throughout the entire period.
What jewelry material do you use?
All starter jewelry is implant-grade titanium, which is the gold standard for new piercings. Titanium is hypoallergenic, free of nickel, and biocompatible. Surgical steel and lower-grade metals are not used for initial piercings at Maeven.
Can I bring my own jewelry?
Initial piercings require appropriate starter jewelry to heal correctly. The gauge, length, and material of the jewelry directly affect healing outcomes. Implant-grade titanium of the correct size is used for all new piercings. Jewelry upgrades and swaps can be discussed after the initial healing period.
What is your age policy?
Clients 18 and older can be pierced without parental involvement. Clients under 18 require a parent or legal guardian to be present at the appointment and sign written consent. Valid photo ID for both the minor and the guardian is required.
