How Hone Keeps Your Piercings Safe

When it comes to getting a new piercing, the jewelry is the fun part—but safety is the foundation. At Hone, we believe that every piercing should be as safe and seamless as it is beautiful. That’s why our team follows the highest standards in sterilization, hygiene, and professional care.

Here’s a closer look at what goes on behind the scenes to keep your piercing experience safe, sterile, and stress-free.

1. It Starts with a Clean Studio
Before your appointment even begins, our piercers prep the studio to hospital-grade standards. Every surface and workstation is disinfected between clients, and we use single-use barriers to eliminate cross-contamination.

We treat our piercing rooms like surgical spaces—because that’s exactly the level of cleanliness your body deserves.

2. Single-Use, Sterile Needles Every Time
At Hone, we never use piercing guns. Instead, we use sterile, single-use needles that are discarded immediately after each piercing.
Why? Needles are more precise, more comfortable, and far safer for your tissue. They allow for better healing and minimize trauma to the skin—so you can focus on styling your new sparkle, not worrying about infection.

3. Jewelry You Can Trust
We only use implant-grade materials, including ASTM F-136 titanium, solid 14k gold, and genuine gemstones. These materials are biocompatible and nickel-free, meaning they’re safe for long-term wear and sensitive skin.

Every piece is sterilized in-house before insertion, so the jewelry that touches your skin is as pure as it gets.

4. Our Sterilization Process
All piercing tools, jewelry, and equipment are sterilized using a medical-grade autoclave—the same technology trusted in hospitals and dental clinics.

We test and monitor our autoclave regularly to ensure it meets strict performance standards. You’ll even find up-to-date sterilization logs on site, because transparency is part of how we earn your trust.

5. Trained, Professional Piercers
Every Hone piercer is highly trained in both technique and safety. From needle handling to cross-contamination prevention, our team adheres to industry best practices guided by the Association of Professional Piercers (APP).

We’re passionate about piercing education and continuously update our training to align with evolving health standards.

6. Your Safety Beyond the Studio
Our commitment doesn’t stop once you leave. We walk every client through personalized aftercare instructions to support healing at home. And if you ever have a question or concern, our piercers are just a message away for follow-up support.

At Hone, your comfort, confidence, and safety come first—always.

Piercing with Intention and Care
We know that a piercing is more than an accessory—it’s a form of self-expression and artistry. By maintaining the highest level of cleanliness, we make sure your piercing experience reflects the same care, precision, and integrity that goes into our craft.
