Kendra Hannay Published on Google

Negative experience: Went to get a navel piercing. The staff were lovely however I paid $80 and the jewellery fell out four days later. I found the jewellery later that day and turns out there was nothing holding the hook and ball together.

Subconscious Studios

Hey Kendra
So sorry to hear that the jewellery fell out only 4 days later. It sounds like we would have used Threadless ball/ head and a floating bar for your navel piercing. High quality jewellery now comes in Threadless or internally threaded post and tops. So this could explain why you thought there was nothing holding it on as Threadless heads look like a wee pin !! We would have been happy to help put jewellery back in or re Pierce if you needed this. For free or minimal charge. So please feel free to pop in sometime soon and we can have a consultation or chat about anatomy and the jewellery we use. Thanks so much. Kate x
