Question 1

How does the 'Constellation' trend work for flat piercings?

Accepted Answer

The Constellation Piercing involves requesting double or triple flat piercings arranged in clusters that mimic star patterns on the scapha. We use high-end Neometal threadless posts to create these tight groupings without the bulk of traditional jewelry backings.

Question 2

Why is 'Downsizing' jewelry a mandatory step for healing?

Accepted Answer

Downsizing prevents the piercing from healing at an angle or migrating. We initially use a longer post to accommodate natural cartilage swelling; returning after 6 weeks to switch to a shorter, flush-fit post ensures the piercing stays perpendicular and prevents irritation bumps.

Question 3

Can I use a piercing gun for a flat placement at the mall?

Accepted Answer

No. Piercing guns use blunt force that can shatter brittle auricular cartilage, leading to permanent deformity or severe keloids. Professional studios exclusively use single-use hollow needles to create a clean channel, reducing pain and healing time.
