Arrange a free consultation or book your piercing appointment directly.
In the consultation you clarify the right position, the jewellery and any other questions.
In a calm atmosphere, Asaf pierces you with sterile single-use needles. Afterwards Asaf gives you detailed aftercare instructions for healing.
Pain during piercing is very individual and depends on your personal pain tolerance and the part of the body. Most clients describe it as a short, sharp pain that is over after a few seconds. Earlobes and tongue are less painful, while cartilage piercings can sting a little more. Asaf works quickly and precisely to make the procedure as comfortable as possible.
The right care is crucial for trouble-free healing:
1. Cleanliness: always wash your hands before touching it
2. Cleaning: 2x a day with saline solution or a special aftercare spray
3. No twisting: do not move or twist the piercing unnecessarily, except when cleaning with saline solution.
4. Patience: only change jewellery once fully healed
During healing, avoid swimming pools, saunas and direct contact with cosmetics.
From 16 with written consent from your parents, from 18 without. Some placements, such as the ear, are possible earlier, with the consent of both parents or legal guardians. What is possible for you is always agreed directly with our piercer.
Asaf sets the prices, which vary depending on the type of piercing:
Earlobe: from 30 €
Ear: 55 to 100 €
Face: 60 to 110 €
Upper body: 50 to 110 €
Intimate: 90 €
All prices include initial jewellery. Asaf will tell you some prices directly; the rest are in the price list above.
Sport is generally possible, but with restrictions:
First 24 to 48 hours: no sport, to avoid swelling
First 2 weeks: light activity is fine, but no swimming
Contact sports: only once fully healed
Make sure the piercing is not irritated by clothing or equipment. After sport, clean the piercing gently.
For new piercings, Asaf uses only sterile titanium jewellery to avoid complications. This is included in the price. Once fully healed, you are welcome to come in with your own jewellery. Asaf will then check whether it is suitable for your piercing and insert it professionally. Please note: the jewellery must be made of high-quality materials (titanium, gold, surgical steel).
Minor irritation is normal, but contact Asaf if you have any of the following symptoms:
- Severe swelling or redness
- Persistent pain
- Yellowish or green discharge
- Fever
Asaf arranges the follow-up care with you.
So that Asaf has time for you straight away, it makes sense to make an appointment.
