Piercing in Metz: Safety, Style and Hygiene

Piercing is much more than just a hole: it's a body ornament that requires expertise and precision. In Metz, Owink stands out as the go-to studio for all your piercing projects, from the most classic to the most daring.

The Most Popular Piercing Locations in Metz

1. The Ear (Ear Curation) : This is the big trend. Helix, Tragus, Conch, Daith, Rook... Accumulating delicate jewelry in gold or titanium allows you to create a unique composition.
2. The Nose : The nostril remains a must-have, often adorned with a small rhinestone or ring. The Septum is also very popular for its edgy look and ease of hiding if needed.
3. The Navel : The timeless classic, especially as summer approaches.

Needle vs. Gun: The Choice is Clear

At Owink, we NEVER use a gun. Why?

• Hygiene : The gun cannot be sterilized 100% (it contains plastic parts that would melt in an autoclave).
• Trauma : The gun tears tissue by force, whereas the needle cleanly separates the fibers. Healing is much better and less painful with a needle.

Choosing Your Initial Jewelry

We only use Implant Grade Titanium (ASTM F-136). It's the most biocompatible material, used in surgery.

• No nickel allergy.
• No oxidation.
• Lightweight and durable. Once healing is complete, you can switch to 14k or 18k gold if you wish.

Healing: Patience and Care

A piercing doesn't heal in 2 days.

• Lobe : 2 months.
• Cartilage : 6 to 12 months.
• Nose : 3 to 4 months.

Never touch your piercing with dirty hands! This is the #1 cause of infections. Come see us in Metz for free follow-up care on your healing.
