Frequently asked questions

How Much Does Piercing Hurt?

Usually most piercings are no more than a pinch or like a flu shot. Our piercers are really good at coaching you through the piercing so you can have as best  possible experience. 

What Is Required Documentation For Minors?
  1. For all of minor friends, Visions’ requires the original long form birth certificate with a state seal and parents name listed on it.
  2. The parent accompanying them must provide a government issued photo ID. Expired IDs or photocopies will not be accepted. The adult that consents for the piercing must be listed on the birth certificate or provide legal guardianship paperwork. Last names must match the birth certificate of the minor. If there has been a name change via divorce, marriage, guardianship, that documentation must be provided at the time of appointment.  For older minor clients, if you have a Passport, School ID, Drivers License or Permit, please bring that with you. It is NOT mandatory, we like to have a face with a name in your profile!

For procedures on minors, Visions requires that a parent or legal guardian be present to fill out the release form and must be present in the piercing room.

The Medway Board of Health requires that we must prove proof positive the relationship between the minor and adult bringing them. We can not perform any service without this documentation.

Is There Anything That Might Prevent Me From Getting Pierced?

Visions cannot pierce you if you are: taking the prescription drug Accutane, pregnant, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. We also suggest refraining from swimming for at least 6-8 weeks following any piercing procedure.

Before any piercing service, the piercers at Visions will consult with you about your individual anatomy. Our piercing staff may decline to perform certain piercings on you based on this anatomy consultation. It is very common that a client requesting a particular piercing does not possess the anatomy required to safely heal said piercing; we will do our best to explain why we would suggest similar, alternative piercings that have a better chance of healing.

Please note; all initial piercings must be performed with new jewelry purchased at our studio.

Is Your Jewelry Warranteed?

Yes, there is a warranty! All of our initial jewelry is made here in the USA and has a lifetime guarantee against the manufacturers defects. This includes the following; a gem falling out its setting, a pin snapping or threads stripping only. You pay shipping there through us, the jewelry company will repair or replace what needs to be done and will ship your piece back to us.
