Your Safety is Our Priority
At Piercings by Mariah, we specialize in only straight needle piercings to ensure precision, your safety, and the best healing outcomes. We strive to keep you comfortable and pride ourselves on the cleanliness of our studio and expert technique.
Whether you’re looking for a simple addition, re-piercing/relocating an old piercing, or a custom ear curation, every appointment includes a detailed consultation to help you choose the right style for you and know exactly what to expect during your visit with us.
Placements & Prices
Not sure where to start? We recommend scheduling a consultation to find the best fit for your style and anatomy — the possibilities are endless! Our surgical-grade starter jewelry is chosen specifically for comfort and safe healing, with a range of upgrade options available when you’re ready.
All of our prices include the starter jewelry:

Comfort & Care for Kiddos
We take extra special care to ensure that our young clients (and those young at heart!) feel welcomed, comfortable, and supported throughout their piercing experience.
From playing their favorite tunes to receiving a prize for being brave, we strive to create an engaging, calming and caring environment for your kids to make it fun and stress-free for little ones and parents alike.
We welcome clients of all ages — from kids to seniors — with services tailored to every stage of life.
Post-Piercing Support
Healing your new body modification is just as important as the piercing procedure itself, which is why we’re dedicated to providing top-notch aftercare instructions and ongoing support.
If you have any concerns after your appointment or decide that you’d like to adjust your piercing, we’re here to help with healing assistance and relocation options.
Whether you’re a fist-timer or experienced client, your comfort and satisfaction are our priorities, so reach out any time — we’re just a call or text away.
Piercing FAQs
-
While everyone’s pain tolerance varies, most clients describe the sensation as a quick pinch. Our expert piercer, Mariah, uses precise techniques to make the experience as comfortable as possible, and we provide aftercare guidance to help with a smooth healing process.
-
Healing times vary depending on the type and location of the piercing. Ear lobes usually heal within 8-12 weeks, while cartilage or other body piercings may take several months to a year. We'll provide you with specific aftercare instructions to ensure a safe, effective healing process.
-
We recommend eating a meal beforehand and staying hydrated to help with your comfort. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications for 24 hours prior to your appointment if possible. Wear comfortable clothing that won’t interfere with the area to be pierced. Otherwise, take deep breaths and get excited for your new piercing!
-
For safety and optimal healing, we use only surgical-grade, sterile starter jewelry for initial piercings. After healing, you’re welcome to switch to personal jewelry, and we offer upgrade options in a variety of styles and materials if you’d like to start with something unique.
-
We are here to support you even after you leave the studio! We provide thorough aftercare instructions, and if you need any assistance with healing, adjusting your jewelry, or addressing discomfort, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’re always happy to help.
-
After your piercing, it’s best to avoid touching the area with unwashed hands, swimming in pools or hot tubs, and applying non-comedogenic lotions or makeup near the site. Following these guidelines can help minimize irritation and prevent infections.
-
During the healing process, it’s normal to experience some redness, tenderness, or minor swelling. However, if you notice any unusual pain, discharge, bumps, or signs of infection, reach out to us—we’re here to help and can provide guidance if you have any concerns.
-
While we welcome clients of all ages, from infancy to elderly, we do follow specific age guidelines to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for all. Minors must have a parent or legal guardian present, and we require signed consent for all clients. For certain piercings, like facial or body piercings, we may have additional age requirements. Feel free to contact us if you have questions about our policies for specific piercings and age groups.
