About cheek piercing
Cheek piercings pass through the cheek into the mouth. They are often associated with the dimple area, but an existing dimple or a reference photograph does not establish a suitable piercing position. Internal anatomy matters as much as the outside appearance, including the location of salivary structures. A pair also needs individual assessment on each side rather than simply copying a measurement. The consultation should establish whether the requested placement is appropriate and how the jewellery would sit, both when your face is relaxed and when your cheeks move.
Is this placement right for you?
Treat cheek piercings as a commitment to ongoing care and fit checks. Everyday mouth movement, eating and contact with teeth or gums make jewellery management particularly important. Tell the piercer about dental appliances and previous facial or oral procedures when discussing suitability. Ask how follow-up and any necessary jewellery adjustments would work before booking. Piercings can leave lasting marks, and permanent dimples should never be treated as a promised result. The published prices are €40 for a single cheek piercing and €70 for a pair; confirm your intended arrangement with the team.
Jewellery and what is included
Cheek jewellery needs an appropriate internal backing and sufficient length for the initial fit. The visible decorative end is only one part of that choice. Discuss how the fit will be reviewed as the tissue settles and have a piercer manage any necessary post changes rather than attempting them yourself.
Looking after your piercing
Care involves both the external openings and the inside of the mouth. Follow the studio's specific instructions, maintain oral hygiene and avoid chewing or playing with the posts. Attend the agreed follow-up checks. Contact the studio promptly about a tightening fit, persistent catching or other changes that concern you.
Follow the instructions given for your individual piercing. Ask the studio about any fit checks or jewellery changes during healing.

Will cheek piercings give me permanent dimples?
That result cannot be guaranteed. Cheek piercings can leave lasting marks, but their appearance varies. Choose this service for the piercing itself after discussing suitability and the ongoing care involved.
