Three Swords Tattoo and Piercing

22/10/2023

Some of you will already be aware of the extensive work we have been having done in the studio for the last 3 months. We have done our absolute very best to maintain an environment where we can can continue to work safely alongside the building works, and put several measures in place to do so.

Unfortunately due to factors out of our control, this is not longer possible. Our clients safety is most important and we have made the difficult decision to temporarily close whilst the remainder of the work is carried out. We do not yet have a date for reopening. As you can imagine we are are devastated that it has come to this within a year of even opening.

If you have any deposits/ vouchers with us, these are safe and will be prioritised upon reopening. We will be vacating the building on 26.10.23. If you have an existing appointment and wish to move it forward, please message and we will try and fit as many of you in as possible.

We Thankyou for your understanding and look forward to seeing you all again very soon,

The Three Swords Team.

And this is why we only use needles 🙈

On the left, you have a piercing needle, and on the right you have a piercing gun stud that is used in a piercing gun (and other hand-pressure piercing devices).
Piercing needles are sharp and cause the least amount of damage when put through the skin. Once pierced, high-quality jewelry is inserted that will fit appropriately for the area based on your anatomy. Being pierced with a needle and quality jewelry reduces irritation and scarring so your piercing can heal properly and stay healthy for the long term! Though the piercing gun stud feels pointy, they are not very sharp at all. The studs are generally made with poor quality metal and are one-size-fits-all, which is not how bodies work as everyone has different anatomy. When this blunt jewelry is forced through the ear with the gun, it can cause blunt force trauma. This trauma can lead to a large amount of damage, especially in the cartilage, like bumps, prolonged discomfort, and poor healing, in which the end result is removal of the piercing.
It's no secret these days that piercing guns are unsafe and can cause significant damage to the tissue being pierced. So be smart when getting pierced!
