About facial surface piercing
Surface piercings have two visible ends connected by jewellery beneath the skin. The exact position matters as much as the overall look: an inspiration photo is a starting point, rather than a placement that can be copied onto every face. Discuss the area you have in mind and how it moves when you smile or speak. Facial surface piercing is a separate category on our price list from eyebrow, bridge and microdermal piercings, so describe your idea when contacting the studio.
Is this placement right for you?
Think about your everyday routine before choosing a facial placement. Glasses, face coverings, shaving and skincare products may all be relevant to the position you want. Let the piercer know about anything that regularly touches that area. Surface piercings can migrate or reject, and no placement can be promised to last permanently. Ask what signs would mean it needs checking and what removal could involve. Contact the studio to confirm age, ID and consent requirements for this piercing before booking.
Jewellery and what is included
The €40 listed price includes basic jewellery. The appropriate shape and dimensions depend on the placement, so discuss the initial piece with the piercer. If you have a particular decorative finish in mind, ask which upgrade options suit the position and confirm any additional cost before proceeding.
Looking after your piercing
Keep cosmetics away from the healing openings and avoid handling the jewellery unnecessarily. Follow the care instructions provided for your placement. Ask the studio to demonstrate cleaning around both ends and explain when to return if the fit or position changes. Arrange jewellery changes with a piercer.
Follow the instructions given for your individual piercing. Ask the studio about any fit checks or jewellery changes during healing.

Facial Surface Piercing: your questions
Is a facial surface piercing the same as a dermal piercing?
No. A surface piercing usually has two visible ends joined beneath the skin. A microdermal has a single visible top attached to an anchor. Ask the studio which approach is appropriate for the placement you want.
Does the €40 price cover any facial piercing?
€40 is the listed facial surface piercing price. Eyebrow, bridge, lip and other facial piercings have their own prices. Describe the exact placement when booking so the studio can confirm the correct service.
