Your piercing fee and cost of jewelry are separate. At the time of scheduling, you will pay the piercing fee and at your appointment, you and your piercer will determine the best type of jewelry for your anatomy and your budget. 

For a deeper dive into the pricing, visit our Pricing Guide for Piercings.

The best way to tell you're getting close is if they start asking for it!

You should never coerce or convince a child to pierce any part of their bodies, regardless of personal beliefs or traditions.

If your child has asked to be pierced and given consent, but is still nervous about the unknowns, please schedule a shopping & consultation appointment with our studio. We want to ensure your child (and you) are completely comfortable with our studio, our piercers, our jewelry options, and our pricing.

Our goal is to make your child's first piercing experience as painless and rewarding as possible!

Missed appointments or appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours prior to the scheduled time slot are not eligible for a refund of the piercing fee.

Piercings fees will not be refunded if your child chooses to decline piercing services during their scheduled time.

Yes! Before booking, please ensure you have valid and current photo ID for anyone scheduling to be pierced

Acceptable ID must be non-expired. 

We can only accept the following:

• a state issued ID or driver's license,

• a current passport,

• a current military ID card, or

• a current Resident Alien card.

You will be offered a chance to shop in the studio for your desired jewelry, make any purchases to secure your chosen jewelry, and utilize the time slot to ask questions or receive piercing consultations, but you will NOT be able to receive a piercing without valid photo ID. 

Anyone over the age of 18 is required to show their own identification without exceptions.

We love kids, but it's best if you can leave them at home or bring another safe adult with you to care for them during your appointment. We want you to enjoy your time, feel relaxed, and not be distracted by your children. If they must attend your appointment, they will need to be capable of staying calm and keeping their volume down to respect the other clients and piercers. 

You! But in all seriousness, please do not bring extra children or friends with you to the studio. A guardian/parent is required for minors, but we cannot accomodate a large group of observers due to the comfort and service expectations for other clients.

If you want to bring one friend, we love it. Please do not bring your whole family into the studio.

We are available in studio Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm PST and on Sunday from 11 am to 5 pm by appointment only.

Appointments are scheduled online with a deposit required for any piercing services.

Appointments are scheduled online only due to deposit requirements and scheduling software.

All appointments will be confirmed and will include a confirmation email, text message (if opted in), and a receipt for your piercing fee.

Please arrive on time, as we are busy studio and want to ensure you receive our full attention! Call us at 541-531-5995 if you are running behind.

If you are running more than 10 minutes behind, you may be asked to reschedule your appointment.

Missed appointments or appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours prior to the scheduled time slot are not guaranteed to receive a refund of the piercing fee, but you can reschedule and apply your piercing fee forward.

Tips are greatly appreciated, as we are dedicated to ensuring you receive five star piercing experience and service with every interaction at Agave in Bloom.

The piercing industry is a service industry, just like a restaurant, salon, etc. Standard tipping practice is 15-20% of the order total.

We can offer same day appointments if the schedule has availability.

Please check our appointment calendar at the BOOK NOW link listed in the web banner above for openings.

If you have recently undergone any type of surgery, medical procedure, or health issue, please contact our studio before scheduling.

Any piercing is going to most painful where you have the most nerve endings. 

Genital piercings are typically the most painful, both initially and while healing. This is followed by nipple piercings, nose piercings (based on the area), rook, daith, conch, and dermal piercings.

Least painful piercings include ear lobes, belly buttons, and eyebrows (depending on the area). 

Tongue and lip piercings tend to be more painful during the healing process due to the fact that you have to eat and talk.

No piercing is without pain or risk, so please do not assume even an earlobe piercing will be a walk in the park for everyone.

All minors must have an accompanying legal guardian or parent with them. Your piercer will likely request legal guardianship or valid custody paperwork. Please be prepared to present this in addition to your valid photo ID.

We will not pierce any minors who attend an appointment with a friend, neighbor, or family member that does not have legal guardianship or custody of them. This is in accordance with Oregon state law.

Once guardianship is established, the minor will be eligible for certain piercings based on age and viability for their anatomy.

NOTE: Foreign exchange students under age 18 must present valid, current guardianship paperwork and be accompanied by said guardian with photo ID. 

That's a hard no.

Oregon law requires all piercing jewelry to be handled with concern and care for your wellbeing.

Due to quality control, sterilization laws, sizing, and liability concerns, we are unable to use any used jewelry for initial piercings.

Thankfully, we maintain a highly curated and extensive collection of quality, ethically sourced jewelry that accommodates many price ranges.

Certain piercings heal better with a stud style of jewelry, so it depends on where you are being pierced. There are several other variables we will discuss with you during your piercing appointment.

For example, most nostril piercings require a stud style in order to heal properly, but with care can be upgraded to a ring style piece after about six months.

You may one person with you, but the same age requirements apply for your friend if they want to attend. Your friend must also have valid identification. 

Additional friends who attend will be asked to wait outside of the studio.

Sure, based on our availabiliy! If you want to schedule a group piercing event, please look on the calendar for the appropriate number of time slots available for the number of piercings desired. Each person will need a one hour timeslot.

A piercing fee will apply to each individual piercing performed.

While it can be popular to repierce and curate an entire person, Agave in Bloom recommends receiving no more than 3 piercings at a time.

With every new piercing, your body is trying to heal a wound. They will heal faster and with less discomfort if we can limit the number of wounds at a time.

If you are:

- two weeks out from antibiotic usage (infection must be clear)

- pregnant, breastfeeding, or less than three months postpartum

- actively using Accutane or have stopped usage, but it's been less than 6 months

- years out from cosmetic surgery, the area may not be eligible for piercing due to scarring or lack of blood flow to the area

- receiving botox or other cosmetic outpatient services, you may not be eligible for a piercing due to swelling or jewelry migration

- actively recieiving fillers, we cannot pierce the location

- scheduled for a surgery within the healing time frame estimated for your piercing

- recovering from a recent surgery or in-patient procedure (timing is individualized)

There are other potential health issues that may prevent your piercing as desired, and we are happy to answer your specific questions during a piercing consultation.

For all piercings, our staff will conduct an anatomy check before proceeding. With some piercing styles, such as industrials, eyebrows, and navels, anatomy will not support proper healing.

On your appointment intake form is a video/photo usage consent statement. The statement is as follows: 

"I consent to Agave in Bloom using images or videos of my piercing process and/or final result for marketing and promotional purposes. I understand these materials may be shared on social media, the Agave in Bloom website, and other marketing platforms. I can withdraw consent at any time by contacting Agave in Bloom."

Our team collect images of their work for their professional portfolios, often maintained on social media. Images are also used for marketing in house, both online and in print. If you would prefer your images are not used for marketing, please inform your piercer as such and decline consent at the time of setting your appointment.

These are general estimates, as each will depend on your particular body type and healing time frames. Children will also heal at a slower rate, as they have a harder time keeping their piercings clean/undisturbed.

Please do not change your jewelry without receiving an "all clear" from your piercer. Downsizing your posts is also important once the swelling has gone down.

It is also tempting to ask your friends or to Google cleaning and healing advice. Please do not do this. Trust the guidance from your piercer and if you have concerns, call the studio.

Tongue: 2-4 months

Septum: 3-5 months

Lip/Labret/Monroe/Philtrum: 3-5 months

Vertical Lip: 3-5 months

Earlobe: 4-6 months

Eyebrow: 4-6 months

Single Point Piercing/Microdermal: 4-6 months

Ear Cartilage: 9-12 months

Nostril: 9-12 months*

        We recommend at least 9 months or longer before installing a ring style of jewelry

Navel: 9-12 months

Nipples: 9-12 months

Bridge: 9-12 months

High Nostril: 12-14 months

Most importantly, please remember:

Every individual heals differently and these timelines are estimated. 

Some light bleeding, itchiness, bruising, or swelling.

Some tenderness or discoloration can be expected, but should fade with time. 

Whitish-yellow fluid secretion (AKA pus) is part of the normal healing process and expected.

Regression. The piercing may seem healed, and then feel tender again. The key is to keep it clean - and keep your jewelry in place.

Keep your hands off it!

Seriously. Avoid any/all harsh cleaners, hair products, dirty fingers, or activities where your new piercing will be submerged under water. Again, this is a wound. We just want to keep it clean with saline spray as directed by your piercer.

You also want to ensure you are not sleeping on your piercing.

If you exercise, you should clean the piercing to avoid irritation from any residual sweat.

Treat your body like you are overcoming illness - give your body healthy food, ensure you get enough rest, drink enough water, and just don't touch it. Multivitamins or additional supplements, such as zinc or vitamin C may also boost your bodies ability to heal.

Call Us Right Away If Your Piercing...

Remains sore, irritated, swollen, or red after a few days

Feels warm at the site

Looks like the angle of the piercing has changed

Has a bump growing underneath the jewelry

Is moving more freely than it should

Suddenly seems to be coming to the surface (rejection)

After your new piercing is in place, you need to avoid submerging your piercing in water. That means no swimming - anywhere (hot tubs, rivers, and so on). 

Wear loose clothing if your piercing is not visible.

Do not attempt to change your piercing jewelry by yourself without the go-ahead from your piercer, just in case it is not fully healed.

Why yes, it sure is!

Overcleaning can break down the healthy skin that is trying to grow and delay healing.

Stick to cleaning in the morning after waking and again before bed, unless otherwise directed by your piercer.

Avoid kissing or contacting other bodily fluids, hot beverages, crunchy/spicy/acidic/overly salty foods, or sharing cups/utensils. Try to avoid drugs, alcohol, smoking, and/or chewing tobacco. Each of these will prolong your healing process.

After eating/drinking, it is wise to rise your tongue or lip piercings with a warm salt water rinse or at least cool, bottled water.

Eat smaller bites of food, leaning toward cold things as they can help with swelling. 

Replace your toothbrush! Visit your dentist regularly and watch for signs of infection - your health care provider may need to assist if the piercing is infected or not healing properly.

You can gentle suck on ice to alleviate swelling or pain, as well as take over the counter anti-inflammatory products of your choice and as advised by your doctor.

Nipple piercings may feel better if you sleep in a clean, tight fitting shirt or sports bra to avoid unnecessary disturbance to the piercings.

Genital piercings need extra care. Keep them protected from other bodily fluids besides your own, including lubricants that are not water based. Agave in Bloom are not currently offering genital piercings.

Immediately after a piercing, it can be hard to tell if the placement is perfect due to swelling. Please be patient as your piercing heals, using over the counter pain medicine for inflammation (or ice on the spot) as you feel comfortable to aid healing and decrease swelling.

After a few days, once the swelling has decreased, please email us immediately if you find that the placement seems off or if the swelling isn't decreasing as expected.

We want you to experience 5-star support from Agave in Bloom before, during, and after your piercing which means we need to know if something isn't quite right, so that we can make it better.

All sales are final. At Agave in Bloom, your health and safety are our top priority. For this reason, we do not accept returns or exchanges on body jewelry once it has left our studio. This policy ensures that every piece of jewelry you purchase is pristine and has never been worn or tried on by another customer. 

We are committed to providing you with the highest quality and hygiene standards, so you can feel confident and secure in your purchase. Please carefully read all jewelry descriptions before purchasing.

If you are unsure of the sizing needed, please contact our studio for assistance prior to purchasing. Almost ALL of our jewelry does not come with the post required for installation, which needs to be included in your purchase for a nominal fee.

Thanks to our high standards in partnership with jewelry manufacturers, all jewelry sold by Agave in Bloom comes with a manufacturer's lifetime warranty that covers defects. All repairs will be handled directly with the manufacturer (not through Agave in Bloom).

Absolutely! A deposit is required for each new item placed on layaway. We accept a variety of payment options, including layaway online.

To setup online layaway, complete checkout to the point of "payment," then choose "ShopPay" to complete the order in 4 pre-scheduled installments through the "ShopPay" website.

Yes! We LIVE to curate your look with your dream jewelry, so we are always happy to special order items for you.

However, please note that jewelry is not always fabricated and waiting for an order. Many (if not most) jewelry companies are currently experiencing up to a 6 month wait time on custom orders, depending on the specific manufacturer.

If you place a special order, there's no need to check on the status. We will always contact you immediately when the piece is ready for pickup or installation.

We ship orders five days a week within 24-48 hours of the order being placed, unless there is an issue due to sizing or any extras needed in the order. We will contact you if this is the case.

We ship primarily through UPS (DHL internationally). A tracking number is sent to the customer once the item label is created, where you can monitor the status of your shipment. 

Timeframes listed are estimates. For international shipping, please ensure your contact information is accurate and that you are aware of customs/import requirements in your country.

If you have concerns, please contact us prior to ordering, as we do not offer refunds.

We do have the ability to request custom pieces through a few manufacturers, including SO Fine Jewelry.

Send an email to info@agaveinbloom.com with a visual idea of what you're looking to design and we will see what we can do!

We ship worldwide, but are unable to combine orders to save on packaging or shipping. Please ensure your order is complete (including posts for any threaded or threadless ends you order).

Shipping will include a tracking number and custom forms. You are responsible for being familiar with the custom import process in your country.

Some countries have strict limitations on the type of materials or items allowed to be imported by individuals, which will result in additional taxes/duties/fees you are responsible for covering if you choose to order with Agave in Bloom.

Agave in Bloom is not responsible for any importing costs. All costs shown on the website at the time of checkout are an agreement of purchase, but do not include an estimate for any additional customs or import fees you may incur.

If you are unfamiliar with the importing laws in your country, please confer with a local customs office before ordering from Agave in Bloom. We are unable to assist with the customs process once an item has been shipped from our studio.

Only UPS is available for international shipping. Visit the UPS website for the most updated information about eligibility for your country and importing.

Yes! You earn points simply by joining our loyalty program. You can also earn by following us on social media, participating in social media giveaways or activities within the Insiders group, referring friends to shop with Agave in Bloom, and more. Stay subscribed to our emails and text messages to get that information as soon as possible!

Occasionally, Agave in Bloom will hold a Double Points Day! For these special events, purchased products will result in a 2x multiplier for the current earning potential for your tier. Please refer to the rewards detail page for information if you're unsure of your current earning level.

Loyalty points expire one year after they are earned. 

Loyalty reward tiers are assessed by total spending online and in studio as of January 1, 2024. All spending prior to that date accrued loyalty points, but does not count toward your reward tier in our new system.

Birthday points are added to active accounts on the day of your birthday! Our rewards program platform enforces a mandatory 30 day waiting period for birthday points.

If you have added your birthday to our system and your birthday is more than 30 days away, you will receive your points on your birthday. If you've added your birthday to our system and your birthday is less than 30 days away, there will be a waiting period starting from the date of entry for that information.

For example, if your birthday is February 5th and your birthday is added to your account on January 15th, you will receive your Birthday points on 2/14!

While shopping on the Agave in Bloom website, simply click on the link for Agave Rewards and the option to login will appear. After signing in, your current rewards balance will be displayed, as well as your shopping history.

Occasionally, we find duplicate accounts for our clients based on different email addresses. To check for a duplicate account, contact us at Info @ agaveinbloom.com and let us know what you think is missing. We'll look for any dupes!

Your rewards are safe! The points are not officially deducted from your account until redeemed for a purchase that is completed. If you don't see them in your cart, try refreshing your browser or clearing your browser cookies. 

All sales are final. Oregon law prohibits studios from accepting jewelry returns once the item has left our studio. Please carefully read all jewelry descriptions before purchasing.

On the rare occasion that we do accept a return for jewelry that has not been removed from the packaging or handled in any way, the points function as a one-time use coupon. Any points redeemed on an active order cannot be reinstated to your account, even if the product is returned.

Sorry, but no! Our points are non-transferrable. Rewards accounts cannot be combined unless you are the owner of both accounts. To ensure you accumulate your points accurately, please use a single email address to shop with Agave in Bloom.

Reward points generally cannot be combined with additional sales. They are valid with our free shipping thresholds, as long as you meet the minimum cart requirement prior to applying your discount.

During the holiday season, sales and special deals will directly indicate if loyalty points will apply. They cannot be used to purchase gift cards.

Your loyalty points are valid for jewelry and related goods, but not services. Appointment deposits must be paid in full at the time of booking, but in studio, you can request points to be applied from your account toward your cost.

Online, points are accrued on all purchases except gift cards. Points cannot be used to purchase gift cards, either.

Loyalty points can be redeemed online or in studio in increments of $5 up to $100 at a time!

As long as you shop with the same login/email address as you used to register for the loyalty program, points should reflect in your account within 24 hours after a purchase or qualifying activity. Feel free to reach out if it has been longer with no sign!

No, loyalty points accrued through qualifying activities have no cash value. They cannot be cashed in for a gift card, cash refund, or transferred.

When you open the Loyalty Rewards pop-up on the bottom right corner of your screen, click on "Refer Your Friends" to copy your personalized referral code.

• Referring client and friend email addresses are similar
• High volume of referrals in a week 
• Order is not the customer's first order
• Order is placed by the referring client
• Order is placed by someone with the same name as the referring client
