👂Oct-LOBE-r Special: Stacked Lobes, Expertly Placed
This October, we’re celebrating the art of the earlobe stack with 20% off all jewelry when you get two or more new earlobe piercings — plus the same discount on jewelry for your existing ear piercings so your whole look feels cohesive and intentional.
If your childhood piercings sit low, uneven, or just don’t feel balanced anymore, stacked lobes are the perfect way to reimagine your ears. With thoughtful placement, new piercings can make older ones look like part of a deliberate, stylish design.
Why We’re Updating Our Age Policy for Piercings
We’ve updated our age policy to better reflect how body piercing culture continues to evolve. Beginning this month, we’re lowering the age requirement for many piercings from 14 to 13 (with a parent or legal guardian present and proper ID).
The short version: piercings are more common, more accepted, and people are getting them younger. Our goal is to make sure those experiences happen in a safe, clean, and professional environment—not at home or in studios with lower standards.

The Art of Anodizing: The Science Behind Colorful Titanium and Niobium Jewelry
If you’ve ever admired the colorful hues of titanium or niobium jewelry, you’ve seen anodization in action! Unlike paint or coatings, anodization is an electrochemical process that changes the color of metal without adding anything to the surface. Instead, it alters the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the jewelry, affecting how light interacts with it—kind of like how an oil slick or soap bubble creates shifting colors.
