Aftercare appointments are not limited, you can come in for check ups as frequently as you like. Aftercare. All clients will be given a leaflet with their specific jewellery information and aftercare instructions, alternatively aftercare instructions can be found here . ​ ​ ​ Downsizing. You may need to come back for a shorter post. Piercings may swell initially, therefor it is appropriate to fit jewellery that is a little longer, once swelling has subsided, to ensure the piercing is getting the correct stability to heal, jewellery should be downsized to prevent jewellery that is too long to cause any healing complications/ future problems. Read more about downsizing here . Check your attachments are secure. Often, we use threaded jewellery for piercing. It is not unheard of for jewellery to become unthreaded over time. It is good practise to check your jewellery is threaded securely at the end of each cleaning routine twice a day. We do not accept responsibility for lost jewellery. After you have left the studio, it is your responsibility to ensure aftercare is properly followed and your jewellery is secure. If you have any concerns or encounter an issue, experience symptoms of problematic healing, make an aftercare check-up appointment promptly. The earlier it is seen, the better chance your piercing has of overcoming any issues. We are here to help you heal your piercing every step of the way.

DOWNSIZING - WHY IT'S IMPORTANT Downsizing refers to switching jewellery in a piercing to a shorter post, once initial swelling has subsided. Because of the way piercings heal, most require initial jewellery with a noticeable amount of extra room to allow the tissue to swell in the early phases of healing. This is crucial to avoid jewellery embedding in the skin. However, once the initial stages have passed, this initial swelling will have gone away. This will reveal the initial extra room and results in the initial jewellery now being too long. Jewellery that is too long can snag easily and move around excessively, leading to irritation and renewed swelling. In oral piercings, excessively long jewellery can lead to damage to teeth, gums, and other oral structures (read more in Oral Piercing Risks ). At this stage, it’s important to return to your piercer to have shorter jewellery installed to reduce these issues. The piercing is not healed enough to safely change your jewellery by yourself at this point in healing. If this window for downsizing is missed for piercings such as the helix, the excessive length may lead to migration or a change of angle of piercing, especially if the piercing gets slept on. This damage is irreversible and can get bad enough to result in the piercing failing. ​ ​ CREDIT - SAFEPIERCING.ORG

Our most affordable jewellery starts at £25.00 ​ JEWELLERY PURCHASE BREAKDOWN - Due to the nature of professional body jewellery, in order for it to be universally compatible with different styles and placements, jewellery is made up of components, which are charged for individually. ​ For example: 1 x Titanium Labret (Post with fixed flat back disk) = £15.00 + 1 x 3mm Titanium ball attachment = £10.00 ​ Total £25.00 ​ JEWELLERY INTEGRITY - All jewellery used at Jade Alexandra Piercing are made of verifiable materials suitable for human implant.

If this is the case, the piercer will usually advise and quite often can offer many alternatives. RINGS IN FRESH PIERCINGS - Quite often we are asked if we can pierce with a ring, usually very small and thin. Unfortunately in most, if not all cases, it is not possible to fit rings this way in an initial or healing piercing. For a piercing to heal correctly, it requires suitable jewellery of size and shape, which can provide stability. (Petite rings can usually be fitted once successfully healed). Piercings that can be done with rings initially, for example, a “Daith” jewellery will most likely need to be quite large in gauge and diameter in order for it to be anatomically suitable enough to heal well. JEWELLERY LOSS - We do not accept responsibility for loss of jewellery or attachments, jewellery coming out or piercings healing over. Once leaving the studio, it is the piercee's responsibility to ensure jewellery attachments are secure each day and that they do not remove their jewellery whilst the piercing is still healing as part of their commitment to following proper aftercare advice and protocols. ​ Jewellery losses or any accidental/deliberate damage are not covered by manufacturers' guarantees. ​ JEWELLERY RETURNS/EXCHANGE - For health and safety, all Jewellery purchased in studio or online through our online store is strictly non-refundable and non-exchangeable. ​ JEWELLERY QUALITY GUARANTEE - Jewellery retailed by Jade Alexandra Piercing comes with a warranty from the manufacturer.

PRIOR TO YOUR APPOINTMENT SOME HANDY AND HELPFUL THINGS TO KNOW & CONSIDER BEFORE ATTENDING YOUR APPOINTMENT OR GETTING A NEW PIERCING If you have long hair, please ensure it is securely tied up when you come to attend your appointment. Especially ear piercing-related appointments. Loose hair can get in the way a lot and can contaminate skin that has been prepped for piercing which makes it extremely difficult to work around. Make sure you have eaten within the last four hours & ensure you are properly hydrated. A drop in blood sugar levels can sometimes result in piercees feeling faint or unwell. It may be a good idea to bring along a sugary snack, particularly if you have felt faint and unwell when having a piercing in the past. Consider any holidays or events you may have coming up, which could hinder your ability to properly maintain your aftercare routine, it may be better to postpone until after your holiday. Lifestyle, consider your lifestyle :) - Do you regularly go swimming or play rough sports? What is your profession? Do you need to wear a uniform, protective face masks, helmets for sports, motorcycling or stethoscopes regularly? These may all be things that you will need to consider carefully when it comes to committing to healing a new piercing. If any of the above examples sound like you, it may be best to hold off booking your piercing appointment and wise to book an anatomy consultation first so you can discuss with your piercer and highlight any concerns. STUDIO ETIQUETTE AT THE DESK OR IN WAITING AREA : Don’t handle your piercings (even if they are healed) or jewellery, Don't touch your ears and face etc as you may spread germs to the studio’s common areas, endangering staff and fellow patrons. Bring previously worn jewellery in a baggie or other sealed container; never place used jewellery on the counter/desk. IN THE RESTROOM : Don’t handle your piercings or jewellery (see above) It is never appropriate to insert jewellery in the restroom or other area of the studio. If you want to have your jewellery changed, it should be done by studio staff in the piercing room. IN THE PIERCING ROOM : Turn off your cell phone. Before setting anything down, ask your piercer to direct you to the area where personal belongings should be placed. Avoid touching your fresh piercing or the area that is near to your fresh piercing, it is an open wound and you may spread germs that are endangering to staff and fellow patrons. Camera flashes or recording can be very distracting to a practitioner during a piercing procedure, so no photos or recording is permitted in the piercing room, please wait until after your piercing is done and check with your piercer before you take any photos etc of your piercing. Please do not take photos of the piercer without first having their consent.

ABOUT THE OWNER A real human owns this business 💕 I'm Jade the Piercer and owner of Jade Alexandra Piercing and this is my humble journey. I was born in December and as such, a thoroughly inquisitive and knowledge-seeking Sagittarius I indeed am. I have always lived locally in Durham and I am proud to continue to be a part of and to serve our community in providing safe body adornment to the area. I began my career in 2010, I apprenticed under Lee from LLCooltatts initially as an aspiring tattoo artist, I had always been artistic and creative and Lee gave me an opportunity I am still so thankful for today. I didn't become a Tattooist in the end but it was how I got my "foot through the door" into this industry. I was at the time quite young with no family or network of support and back then apprenticeships did not pay anything, so I found myself trying to pursue an industry I was inspired by whilst also being in financial difficulties and hardships trying to run a home on my own and support myself. Due to my circumstances at the time, I had been lucky to have support from a local support worker named Bert Moutter, from a charity known as DISC. I expressed to him that I wanted to learn body piercing, something I could do additionally to my apprenticeship as a means to generate a self-sustainable income. Bert helped me apply for a grant with another charity (BUTTLE UK) to access funds for a course. - it is super important to me to give credit and remember how important these charities and wonderful volunteers are and to humbly most of all, not lose sight of where I started! In 2011 I enrolled on an above-the-waist body piercing "course". The course was over four days. The first piercing I ever did was a tongue and I was terrified, I had not been shown how to mark or pierce it, just thrown into it and told to aim for the mark. That was my so-called training. "Naïve and brains brand new" ​ Equipped with a so-called piercing kit, I had been led to believe that after completion of my so-called "course" I had been given all the tools and knowledge needed to start a career in piercing, misled that a certificate and a not even "entry-level" piercing kit meant I knew what I was doing and oh boy was I wrong. Today I would strongly advocate that anyone wanting to become a piercer, seek an apprenticeship with a reputable, properly educated mentor and avoid piercing courses like the plague! I honestly had no idea what I was really doing and I had to completely learn everything from scratch, as what little I had learnt in the course was incredibly outdated, basic and completely insufficient. I have basically self-taught myself everything I now know today - The hard way. I now know that piercing courses are just another person's idea of a ''get-rich-quick'' scheme and the certificate I was given is not even worth the paper it is printed on. Not only that it is/was irresponsible, unethical and bad practice to take money from people like myself who did not/do not know any better and to then let them loose on the public to be a danger to themselves and others. Piercing should be taken seriously because it is breaking the skin barrier and proper education is absolutely crucial, particularly where it concerns sterilisation and cross-contamination. I share transparently where I started because unfortunately, not much has changed since then and piercing is still an unregulated industry and most training out there is just as insufficient. The reality is someone can have a license to pierce and not know what a bloodborne pathogen is, this is why it is so important to make sure you research your piercer for your own safety. Over the years I worked in numerous studios, and in each of them, I learnt valuable lessons, not only as a piercer but in business too. From 2014 to 2017 I worked in a busy city centre studio, it was around then that I really started to become aware of the importance of often overlooked aspects in piercing and I began a process of realising that these were the things I needed to change and educate myself on properly, such as the importance of jewellery materials, realising the UK is saturated with unverifiable and poor quality jewellery, I had to learn about jewellery surface polish, how that affects and contributes to healing, then to gain proper knowledge of wound care, healing stages, healing complications etc - Piercing is not as simple as most perceive. Poking a hole and inserting jewellery is just a small part of the bigger picture. I began to evolve how I did piercings and procedures, educated myself on asepsis and how to maintain it, 2017 I attended my first United Kingdom Association of Professional Piercers Educational Seminars, which completely opened my eyes. all I wanted to do was flourish and fine-tune where ever possible all aspects of my trade, by continuing to better educate myself. I had improved greatly - however, despite my best efforts, the position in the studio I worked in at the time greatly hindered my ability to evolve in other necessary aspects & I had to accept that not everyone shares the same ethics and visions of growth that I had for the future. Why change something if it was already ''working''? I understand that mentality, but it's not a mentality I shared, then or now. I think to myself, but if you know can do and offer better why wouldn't you want to make sure you're doing it? Why wouldn't you want the best for your clients? Why not improve your standards if you have the knowledge and means? It just didn't sit well with me, that I knew my answer deep down and working for somebody else who had a different perception meant that, I was to remain limited nor have the necessary control to make the choices I knew I needed to make to progress ethically and responsibly. ''When met with resistance, it's time to propel forward into something greater'' After spending some time feeling frustrated, I asked myself an important question one day, "Well, do you believe in yourself to be able to do and be better?" my answer was "I do!" So with my answer, I left knowing the next and only step for me was to run my own business, where I could make all of the decisions, invest in what I wanted to invest in, and take responsibility for the direction I wanted my piercing services to go. I knew it wouldn't be straightforward, but it would be worth it knowing that my heart was in the right place and that what I was doing wasn't in pursuit of money, success or any shallow means, it was because I wanted to just be genuinely integral above all else. To prioritise health and safety over profits. Because that was what and continues to be what really matters. At the time I had not long been bereaved of both my parents and admittedly, it was terribly frightening to leave a job where I had financial security, to pursue my own business. I had nothing saved up, nobody to help me, just very limited funds and some self-belief! I remember when my first quality jewellery order arrived and as little as it was, the feeling of excitement looking at the difference in quality to what I was about to use in comparison to that which I had been limited to using previously, is genuinely a feeling I will never forget. So shiny, hand polished to a literal mirror finish, I could actually see my face in it. I was going in the right direction, jewellery should be high quality, and made of the correct biocompatible materials, this was it! There was no stopping me now! I knew I was making the correct choices and making the right steps into a better future, not only for myself but to contribute positively to an industry that for so long had inspired me, I could now support to evolve. I spent a couple of years learning, saving, investing, the ups and downs of business, adapting and growing. Not only was I evolving into a piercer I was proud to be, but I was also evolving on a personal level too, because finding out who we really are and want to be is equally as important in life. Our integrity is our biggest investment. In 2019, after looking for new premises, I met Sue and Chris, who are the owners of Buzzin Guns, they had the perfect space within their studio available for my business to trade from. Not only that, but they were also business owners who shared the same ethics and dedication to evolving, integrally that I did! I have nothing but love and respect for them. It's an incredible Studio, every day is a joy to come to work and run my business from. In my personal time, I do love learning, reading books, gardening and being in nature. I like to and try to live a simple life honestly. I am quite partial to a cup of tea in my garden on a good weather day listening to and watching the birds before I start my day. I am blessed to have a wonderful partner, a couple chickens, Edith, Ethel and Elsey - Our five little dogs, Poppy the pom (she is getting old now bless her) & our four Miniature Dachshunds Minnie, Lilibet, Lolly & Love... A little sausage dog mad, but much to be grateful for :) I am thankful for all of life's lessons, to all my wonderful clients old and new, for the trust love and support. It's my sincerest dedication that Jade Alexandra Piercing continues to evolve with genuine love and integrity. I haven't just grown it, it has also grown me. ​ Thank you all for being a part of my journey and for allowing me to be a part of yours, even momentarily. ​ with love and gratitude Jade xxx (SHE/HERS/THEY/THIERS) About the owner: About

Identity-affirming Piercing more than just an adornment Whilst a piercing can be purely for aesthetics or to simply enhance one's beauty, getting a piercing can also be really empowering and in some circumstances a healing experience for the individual. Whatever the motivation, we absolutely support and honour your choice as an individual to exercise your right to make a statement-making claim over your bodily autonomy. Here at Jade Alexandra Piercing, we understand that a piercing is so much more than just an adornment, it can be a right of passage, a motivation to honour and love oneself, to reclaim and affirm the right to simply choose, to affirm a gender identity, to reclaim ones body after suffering trauma, to remembering someone special or just to make a simple statement that says today I choose to do something for me, because I want to, because I deserve it and express that you don't care what others may think. We know an adornment can be an incredibly sacred and empowering symbol to the wearer and we consider it an honour to assist you on your journey as you navigate through your experience of life. ​ With love, with dignity & with purpose, always...
