Piercing FAQs
- What type of piercings does Revel Road™ offer?
- We currently offer earlobe and cartilage piercings (subject to state and county regulations) using the FDA-registered STUDEX® System 75 medical device. System 75 provides a gentle application with sterilized, single-use cartridges designed for safe, precise, and hygienic ear piercings.
- Is it safe?
- Yes. Your safety is our standard. We use single-use, pre-sterilized STUDEX® cartridges, 14K Gold or medical-grade piercing earrings, and our piercers are Revel Road™ x STUDEX® certified with Bloodborne Pathogen training. We follow strict sanitation and hand-hygiene protocols, all wrapped in our signature Pink Glove Experience™.
- What is the STUDEX® System 75 medical device? Is it a gun?
- Revel Road™ uses the STUDEX® System 75 medical device for all piercings. This hand-pressurized device is in complete control of our trained piercer's hand to guide, position, and pierce safely. It is not a piercing gun. Guns are spring-loaded tools that 'shoot' the earring in with a swift stabbing motion. Our device is gentle, controlled, and can be used for most piercing placements along the outer perimeter of the ear.
- How is the device different from needle piercing?
- Needle piercings are performed with a single-use, hollow-bore sterilized needle and use flat-back jewelry for optimal comfort and healing. If your ear anatomy doesn't allow us to use the device for a specific placement, we may recommend getting that area pierced with a needle at another studio.
- Does it hurt?
- The STUDEX® System 75 medical device provides a virtually pain-free experience. Most guests describe it as a quick, tiny pinch.
- What earrings can I choose from?
- Our jewelry is selected for comfort, safety, and long-term wear. We carry a curated assortment of hypoallergenic, nickel-safe earrings in 316L surgical stainless steel, 24K gold over 316L surgical stainless steel, 14K yellow gold, and 14K white gold (rhodium plated, as is standard in the industry).
- Can I bring my own jewelry to be pierced with?
- No, sorry. We exclusively use STUDEX® pre-sterilized earrings for all device piercings to ensure the highest level of safety and sterilization standards for our clients.
- How long does a piercing take?
- Plan for about 15–30 minutes. This includes your consultation, cleaning, placement marking, the piercing itself, and aftercare instructions. We move at a comfortable pace to make sure you feel confident and informed.
- Do you pierce minors?
- Revel Road™ serves clients 18 years of age and older. In select cases, we may pierce clients ages 12–17 when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian with valid government ID, limited to a maximum of 2 piercings per minor. Event rules may vary.
- Are there limits to how many piercings I can get?
- Yes. For safety and healing quality there is a maximum of 2 piercings per ear per event.
- How much does it cost?
- Pricing varies by event but typically includes the piercing service, 14K gold or medical-grade piercing earrings, and aftercare.
- Can I take photos or videos?
- Absolutely. We love a good 'mark the moment' moment. We just ask that you remain respectful of other guests' privacy and follow any event-specific photography guidelines.
- What is the Pink Glove Experience™?
- Our signature Revel Road™ experience is clinical-grade safety meets concierge-level care, wrapped in warmth, ease, and celebration. From the time you sit down to the moment you mark it, it's elevated, intentional, and uniquely ours.
