Piercing Tips & FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions | Nemearis Kraków

On the day of your procedure, it's best to be well-rested, well-fed, and hydrated. Avoid alcohol, blood-thinning medications, and strenuous exercise. Keep the pierced area clean by avoiding the use of creams, oils, or cosmetics.

Most piercings are performed for individuals aged 16 and over, with parental or legal guardian consent required (presence required). Selected procedures, such as tongue piercings, nipple piercings, implant piercings, and intimate piercings, are available only to individuals aged 18+.

This is an individual matter – everyone experiences pain differently. However, we use only sterile, sharp needles and work quickly and precisely, minimizing discomfort.

We do not perform piercings on pregnant or breastfeeding individuals. This is a contraindication for safety reasons – both for the body and for wound healing.

After the procedure, you will receive detailed care instructions. The piercing site should be cleaned 1-2 times daily with saline. Avoid touching the piercing with dirty hands, do not rotate the piercing, and do not use alcohol, spirits, or cosmetics.

Healing time depends on the location of the piercing:
– Earlobe: approx. 3–6 months
– Cartilage: 6–12 months
– Language: 4–6 weeks
– Navel: 6–12 months
Full healing is an individual matter and may take longer.

Replacing the piercing is only possible after partial or full healing, depending on the piercing location. Most often:
– Lobe: min. 6–8 weeks
– Cartilage: min. 3–6 months
Replacement should be performed by a professional.

If you experience severe swelling, pain, purulent discharge, or other concerning symptoms, contact us as soon as possible. We will provide support and help you assess the situation.

Yes, but avoid swimming in pools, lakes, hot tubs, or bathtubs for at least 3–4 weeks. Showering is fine, but the piercing site should not be rubbed or exposed to strong detergents.

In rare cases, the body may reject a piercing—this applies primarily to superficial piercings and microdermal piercings. This risk can be minimized with proper jewelry selection and care.

We recommend avoiding intense exercise for 48 hours. For piercings that are prone to pressure (e.g., navel, nipples, ear), it's worth limiting your workouts or choosing looser clothing and mindful movements.

Contraindications include active infections, pregnancy, breastfeeding, uncontrolled diabetes, blood clotting problems, skin conditions at the piercing site, or immune disorders. If in doubt, contact us before your appointment.

Yes – a basic piercing is included in every piercing service. Decorative jewelry is also available for purchase, including earrings with natural stones and 14k gold.

Of course – we only ask that a maximum of one person accompany you, especially during peak hours. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Yes, if performed by a professional under sterile conditions. At Nemearis, we use only disposable instruments and adhere to rigorous hygiene procedures.
