How do I book a piercing appointment?

It’s simple! Pick your piercing from the drop-down, choose a piercer, pick a date and time, and pay a 30% deposit to save your spot. That’s it!

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Yes, a 30% deposit locks in your appointment. It counts toward your piercing’s total cost, so you just pay the rest when you’re done.

What is the deposit for?

The deposit saves your spot and helps us plan our day. It’s part of your piercing price, so it’s not extra money.

Can I get a refund on my deposit?

We don’t give refunds if you cancel or miss your appointment. But if you tell us at least 48 hours ahead, we can move your appointment and use your deposit for the new date. If you change it a second time, you’ll lose the deposit and need to pay a new one. If you cancel and don’t reschedule, the deposit’s gone. To see our complete Cancellation Policy, please visit: https://www.valkyrietattoonc.com/cancellation-policy.

What if I need to reschedule my appointment?

Need a new time? Tell us at least 48 hours before, and we’ll shift your appointment and move your deposit. If you reschedule again, you’ll lose the deposit and have to pay another one. To see our complete Cancellation Policy, please visit: https://www.valkyrietattoonc.com/cancellation-policy.

Do you offer walk-ins for piercings?

Yes! Want a piercing today? Stop by, and we’ll fit you in if we have room. To be sure of a spot, book online at least 24 hours ahead.

Is getting a piercing painful?

Yeah, there’s some pain or discomfort since we’re putting a needle through your skin. How much it hurts depends on where you’re getting it and how tough you are with pain. Most people say it’s like a fast pinch, then it’s just a little sore for a bit.

Do I have the proper anatomy for this piercing?

Not every spot works for every piercing. Before we start, your piercer will check out the area to make sure it’s a good fit for what you’re after. This step’s key to nailing the piercing and keeping you comfy.

What should I bring to my appointment?

Just bring your ID and wear comfy clothes that let us reach the piercing spot.

What should I do before my piercing appointment?

Eat a snack, drink water, and don’t use alcohol or drugs. Wear loose clothes so we can get to the piercing spot easily. Bring your ID and get ready to rock your new piercing!

Can I get a piercing if I have a medical condition?

Check with your doctor first, especially if you have diabetes, skin issues, or take blood thinners. Tell your piercer about any health stuff so we can keep you safe.

How old do I have to be to get a piercing?

You need to be 18 with a valid photo ID, like a driver’s license or passport. We can pierce minors in some cases, with parental consent, identification, and supervision. Call our shop at (336) 270-4825 for more information.

How do you ensure the safety and cleanliness of your piercing procedures?

We use the Enbio S autoclave to sterilize all our tools and jewelry. Our team is certified in Bloodborne Pathogens and follows strict Health and Safety regulations to make sure your experience meets the highest standard of care.

Is it normal for my piercing to bleed?

Totally! A little blood is normal when you get pierced. How much depends on you and the spot we’re working on. It might bleed a bit during or after since the needle goes through skin or tissue. Any bleeding is usually light and stops quickly.

What if I faint?

It happens sometimes—feeling dizzy, queasy, or even passing out. That’s your body reacting to the pain or maybe low blood sugar. Eat a solid meal and drink water before you show up. It’ll help you stay steady. If you start to feel weird, tell your piercer immediately.

Can I use numbing cream before my piercing session?

Some folks want numbing cream or spray to chill the pain, but chat with your piercer first. Some of that stuff can mess with your skin or the piercing process. We’ll figure out what works.

Can I bring a friend in the room with me?

Absolutely! We get that everyone handles pain differently, and having a friend or family member there can help. Just check with your piercer if you’re thinking of bringing more than one person—space is limited, and we want to keep things smooth and comfy for you.
