Piercing in Forest Hills
Ask about the piercing you are considering and current appointment availability. Book Now
Piercing involves more than choosing a spot and getting it done. Placement, anatomy, jewelry suitability, healing expectations, and aftercare all matter. At Forest Hills Tattoo, piercing appointments begin with a conversation about what you want and whether the requested placement is appropriate for your anatomy.
We want clients to understand what they are committing to before the piercing happens. That includes practical information about the healing period, normal care, activities that may irritate the area, and when a concern deserves professional attention. If a particular placement is not a good fit, we would rather explain why and discuss alternatives than force a piercing that is unlikely to behave well.

Anatomy varies from person to person, and not every piercing works equally well on every body. We assess the area and explain any limitations that affect placement. The way a piercing sits should make visual sense while also allowing enough room for normal healing and day-to-day movement. Aftercare is another major part of the process. Healing times differ depending on the piercing and the individual, so clients should follow the instructions provided for their appointment rather than relying on random advice online. Avoid unnecessary touching and pay attention to changes in the area. If something feels unusual during healing, contact the studio for guidance rather than making aggressive changes on your own.
Ear placement can range from simple lobe work to cartilage placements, depending on anatomy and the look you want. We consider spacing carefully, especially when the piercing will sit near existing jewelry.
Facial placements require particular attention to symmetry, anatomy, movement, and visibility. The exact location is discussed and marked before proceeding.
If you are not sure which piercing suits the area, we can talk through placement options based on anatomy and the overall look you are trying to create.
Clients receive practical information for the healing period, including how to care for the area and what kinds of irritation or changes should prompt a follow-up.
