Anatomy varies from person to person. Not everyone is built to accommodate every piercing or all sizes or styles of jewelry. The consultation at the beginning of your booking will determine, first, if you and receive the piercing and if so, the starting jewelry’s size and style is at the discretion of the piercer and based on what will heal best for you.
We provide jewelry made from the purest, most well-manufactured materials available. Each material used has been painstakingly researched.
We have a large range of jewelry available for you to choose from, selection varies depending on the size and style best suited for your specific anatomy as well as your personal preference and over all ‘look’. Since starter jewelry prices vary we separate the basic piercing fee from the price of the jewelry. Although an all inclusive price can make for convenient price shopping it doesn’t give you many options. Since often piercings take several months to heal we like giving our clients the option to start out with the amazing, flattering, piece of jewelry they want from the very beginning. We do not pierce with jewelry purchased outside the studio.
Jewelry Changes
When you purchase from us for a jewelry change or stretch there is no fee for installation at the time of purchase. For later jewelry changes or removals there is a $15 glove fee. If your piercing/jewelry was purchased elsewhere and you need it changed or removed we charge a $15 service fee for each piercing.
We are working by appointment or walk in.

The large, more traditional unit is used for the first of two sterilization cycles. Once tools are properly processed and sterilized they are stored until ready for the second, final cycle. Before each client is pierced all necessary tools are placed into the second autoclave, which is called a StatimClave. This sterilization process does not require the use of pouches and allows your piercer to maintain “point of process” sterilization. It is important to note that needles and any soft supplies such as gauze are single use.
After you have made your jewelry selection, a cassette with everything needed for your piercing is assembled and then placed within the StatimClave. Once the sterilization cycle is complete, you will witness the opening of your cassette. Along with the piercing supplies, your cassette contains an individually numbered sterilization monitor strip. This strip lets you and your piercer know that the items to be used have been properly sterilized. Both autoclaves are tested monthly by an independent laboratory and each client cassette is processed with an indicator strip to show that sterilization has been achieved.
All employees of Virtue & Vice are trained in universal precautions to protect both themselves and their clientele.

- What to Wear – Consider the location of your piercing and dress accordingly. If you’re unsure of what is best to wear, give us a call.
The success of your piercing is dependent upon the care it receives while it is healing. We offer the following guidelines, courtesy of the Association of Professional Piercers.

You can! however Everyone needs their OWN appointment block separate from each other. But you can have back to back appointments!
