FAQ’s

As a client you may have a multitude of questions, and we have the answers!

Lets have a look into some of the more frequently asked questions.

DO YOU PIERCE KIDS?

Yes, I do pierce kids. I will pierce kids from the age of 10 and older provided they have parental consent and provide consent themselves for the piercing.

At this young age, we will only pierce lobes initially.

CAN YOU USE A RING INITIALLY?

Unfortunately we can not start initial piercings with a ring. There are many reasons for this but most importantly, starting with a ring causes too much movement and irritation and can slow down healing.

DO YOU DO SNAKE EYES PIERCING?

This one is easy to answer without any hesitation.
Absolutely not!
Snake eyes piercings are notorious for being very dangerous and causing significant tooth and gum damage therefore we will not perform these piercings.

DOESN’T A NEEDLE HURT MORE?

It does not. The shape and design of the needle makes them incredibly sharp meaning they are able to pierce through the skin with very minimal trauma meaning you have a virtually pain free piercing experience.

Axel is a great piercer my nose piercing was the first one that I did with Axel and it was my best one so far. I would highly recommend Axel to anyone that is looking for a new piercer.

The friendliest, most professional piercer I’ve had in a while. After just a week my piercing feels so well healed! Thank you Axel 🙂

– Renaishia Pillay

… I was very scared but Axel calmed me so nicely and talked me through the process step by step. I couldn’t asked for a better person to do this piercing for me. I would recommend him to everyone and anyone. …

I always get nervous when I go for a piercing and now that I have found Axel, I won’t go to anyone else. They were extremely kind to me and talked me through the whole process making sure that I understood exactly what they were going to do. I never felt one ounce of pain when my Tragus was pierced and have had no redness, swelling, or discomfort since. I am thrilled with my piercing and would highly recommend Axel.

– Belinda Dietz-Grobler

Axel is so kind and gentle, he really made me feel comfortable while getting my piercing. Axel was very patient with me when I needed to pick out a piece of jewellery (which I couldn’t decide because the jewellery was so beautiful and there were so many options) I really enjoyed my piercing experience with him and would 10/10 recommend going to him again for future piercings.

– Bells J

I can highly recommend Axel to anyone. I went there on my birthday without an appointment for 2 piercings and the service I received from them was extremely exceptional. The staff is extremely helpful and so friendly. The assisted me in changing an old piercing into something I really love. They have a wide range off beautiful jewelry for your piercings and I must say the are very affordable when it comes to everything. They work with so much care and hygiene I cannot recommend them enough will most definitely return and recommend everyone else to make use of their services.

– Carin Oosthuizen

Axel made me feel super comfortable and he explained every step he was doing for my piercings. He explained the aftercare very thoroughly as well as the different types jewellery and how it aids the piercings healing process. Overall he was very careful, clean, patient, friendly and caring. He also checks in a few weeks after, to see how your piercing is doing, which is just awesome as many people would not do that, it is surely awesome that he does check in. I would 110% recommend him for your new piercing. And I’m sure my family is actually more in love with my piercings more than I am which is a bonus cause now all attention is on me 😂🫶🏼
