At Stranded Ink, we take piercing safety seriously. Our studio follows strict sterilization protocols that meet or exceed Arizona health regulations. Consequently, you can feel confident knowing your piercing is performed in a clean, professional environment.
We never use piercing guns—only sterile, single-use needles. Why does this matter? Piercing needles create a cleaner hole, cause less tissue trauma, and reduce the risk of infection. As a result, your piercing heals faster and looks better.
Our Safety Standards Include:
✓
Autoclave Sterilization
All reusable tools are sterilized using hospital-grade autoclave equipment before every use.
✓
Single-Use Needles
Every piercing uses a brand-new, pre-sterilized needle that's disposed of immediately after.
✓
Medical-Grade Jewelry
We use implant-grade titanium and surgical steel jewelry that's safe for fresh piercings.
✓
Licensed & Insured
Our piercers are trained professionals who follow all Arizona state requirements.
