We’ve had so much fun with Thursday piercings! Lots of classic navels and nostrils and a few less common ear projects. We love all of it! Fish, Santi, and Nicole have had a number of fun tattoos recently too – all that to say we’re here for your body modification needs
Fish is here and ready for walk-ins every Thursday from 3-6PM. If you need a different day shoot him a text – yes, even last minute! Same-day appointments are often available, you never know unless you ask. That said, piercing appointments may be scheduled in advance for any day. Piercing appointments do not need a deposit at this time.
Until additional walk-in hours are announced you can reach out to Fish, Santi, or Nicole to set up your next tattoo appointment. Same-day tattoos could be available too – def reach out, we want to turn your vision into reality.
Upcoming Walk In Piercing dates are Thursday, November 5th, November 12th, November 19th, & November 26th. We’d love to see you, so remember to mark your calendars and come in!
Special Pricing on Select Steel Jewelry Will Continue
Remember last month (and previous months) how we mentioned a veritable treasure trove of steel jewelry from the depths of our crypt? LLTC has been in business for a long time. We have a lot of stuff. We keep finding more while we go through deep storage. How deep is storage? I guess we’ll find out when we get to the end!
It’s shiny, it’s sparkly, and it can be yours for your soul less than the cost of a super fancy coffee. Steel was the industry standard for decades before titanium came along and became the new standard. Our steel isn’t quite that old, but as we transitioned to titanium, the steel got pushed to the back of the display. Then to a drawer. Then packed into boxes. Then forgotten. We’re bringing it back for select piercings only (it is not suited for all piercings, don’t worry, we’ll make sure it’s the right style!) at deeply discounted prices.
Steel is a little heavier. To get overly technical, titanium’s density is about 4.5 g/cm³, which is roughly 45% lighter than steel. That means it wears/hangs very differently from heavier metals on the body.
Both are hypoallergenic, however titanium is slightly more-so. Stainless steel is often made from 316LVM surgical steel. This does contain trace amounts of nickel (typically 13-15%) and is generally considered safe for most people. That means for most wearers it will not cause a reaction (allergy) even in the most sensitive skin. That said, if you have any known nickel allergy, we do not recommend using steel. For the same reason we do not recommend you use gold. 14k gold can contain anywhere from 0 to 14% nickel, averaging 11%.
Titanium is virtually nickel-free and is highly hypoallergenic. There is a reason most medical implants are now made with titanium instead of implant-grade steel.
Don’t want steel? No problem! We’ve got titanium flatbacks and a large assortment of tops available for purchase.
