We have collected the most frequently asked questions about your appointment, pre- and aftercare, equipment, us and our services, and made them available to you. We will also be happy to advise you in a personal consultation if any questions remain unanswered.
PIERCING
At MAYDUNA, we have spent many years researching and educating ourselves about the safest materials to be worn in body piercings in terms of biocompatibility, comfort and style. That is why we only use hypoallergenic materials compliant with the VPP Standards for Germany, including implant grade titanium and solid 14k nickel-free gold.
All of the jewellery at MAYDUNA is hand polished to a mirror finish and internally threaded or threadless for safety and security of the attachments.
In addition, all jewellery is covered by a quality guarantee, ensuring repairs or replacements in the unlikely event of a manufacturing defect.
These prices do not include jewellery. Our basic range of plain, biocompatible Titanium jewellery starts at 30€. Im Preis inbegriffen ist ein Goodie Bag mit sterilem Kochsalzlösungsspray, das du zur Reinigung deines frischen Piercings verwenden kannst. Die Gebühr für das erste Piercing ist der volle Preis. Wenn du dir dasselbe Piercing zweimal in der gleichen Sitzung stechen lässt (Doppelhelix, beide Brustwarzen usw.), sinkt die Gebühr für das zweite Piercing auf 29 € (ohne Dermal Anchor und Ohrläppchen). Alle Preise verstehen sich pro Piercing.
Definitely the most common question we get asked daily. The answer is “just a little bit”. Our skilled piercers will make your piercing as quick and painless as possible. Almost everyone says their piercing was way less painful than what they expected it to be. In most cases, it is a quick pinch and already over before you notice it.
After the piercing is done, you may experience a slightly burning sensation or increased sensitivity. This is completely normal, and you can continue your day as planned.
When you come visit us at MAYDUNA, you will be greeted by our friendly staff. They will help you select a piece of jewellery for your piercing. Your piercer then will sterilise* everything while you fill out a consent form for the piercing. Please don't forget to bring a valid government issued photo ID for that. Once everything is ready, we will bring you into our separate piercing room. The piercer will clean the area, mark for the piercing, and you can look at the placement. Once you're happy with the position of the piercing, the piercer will perform the piercing and install the jewellery. Once the jewellery is in, the area will be cleaned once more and you are good to go.
*We use a STATIM brand quick steriliser to sterilise each piece of jewellery. This method is fast, safe and even used in various dental clinics. Please ask us for our sterilisation documentation.
The piercing process itself usually takes about half a second. We usually plan about 30 minutes for a regular piercing appointment. This includes choosing your jewellery, filling out consent forms and the piercing process. If you are in a hurry, please ask at the time of your appointment how long it will approximately take.
MAYDUNA is both walk-in and appointment based. As we are located in an area with heavy traffic, sometimes we can get very busy – in these cases, appointments are taken care of first. Of course if you walk in and we have time, we will pierce you.
It is very normal for a fresh piercing to bleed a little bit afterwards. This usually only takes a few moments. Our expert piercers will make sure that everything is nice and clean and any bleeding has stopped before you leave our store.
At MAYDUNA we only use single use, sterile piercing needles.This is the safest, least painful way to get pierced. If you want to know why nobody should use piercing guns, you can visit the page of VPP
With any open wound there is a certain risk of infection, however since we only use sterilized jewellery, gloves and tools to do your piercing, we minimise this risk significantly. To ensure this, all sterile packages will be opened in the piercing room in front of you. Combined with correct aftercare from your side, it is very unlikely that an infection will happen. If you think that something is wrong with your piercing, you should contact us or your doctor immediately.
In case of any questions or complications with a fresh or even a healed piercing, please get in touch with us as soon as you can, so we can help you.
We do not pierce pregnant or nursing people at MAYDUNA. Your body is already undergoing stress and a lot of changes, so there is an increased risk of complications. We believe it is best to let your body focus on that and wait for the piercing.
At MAYDUNA we can only pierce you with jewellery that has been bought in our store, or same quality jewellery if you want to bring some with you. It must be implant grade titanium or gold in 14k or higher. In addition to this it must also be internally threaded, flawlessly polished, as well as being the correct thickness, length and diameter for your piercing. If you’re unsure whether your jewellery meets any of these standards, bring it with you, so our staff can inspect it.
Yes and no! Safe body jewellery does not exist in silver - the reason for this is that silver, when in contact with bodily fluids, can oxidize and turn the skin around the jewellery piece dark. As we only carry safe body jewellery that is meant for permanent wear, we cannot offer silver. But don't worry! We carry beautiful pieces in white gold for all of you who prefer it to yellow, rose and titanium colours.
From the age of 18, we only require an official photo ID (ID card, driving licence, passport) to fulfil your piercing wish.
If you are under 18 years old, you need the consent of a parent or legal guardian for your desired piercing. For this, both of you must present a valid official photo ID (identity card, driving licence, passport). If this is not sufficient to prove parental authority (e.g. due to different surnames or addresses on the ID), we also need your birth certificate to prove that the person you have brought with you is indeed a legal guardian.
If you are between 16 and 18 years old, we can pierce you with written consent from your legal guardian (they do not have to be present). The written consent form must state exactly which piercing may be placed; the form must also include your full name and date of birth, the full name of your legal guardian(s) and their date of birth, their signature and a copy of their photo ID.
If you are under 16, a parent or guardian must be present.
If you are under 14 years old, both legal guardians must agree and be present.
The minimum age for children who want to get their earlobes pierced is six years.
To get nipple or genital piercings, cheeks/dahlias and surface piercings, you must be 18 or older.
For questions or comments, please email us at piercing@mayduna.de
The price for a 'piercing' is made up of the cost of the piercing service and the price of the selected jewellery.
An overview of the costs of our piercing service is listed on our website.
Our basic titanium jewellery starts at 30€. (Top + Stud)
As we have a wide range of different jewellery you can get pierced with, the final price will vary depending on what type of jewellery you prefer. Please call or email us with more details about your jewellery requirements so that we can give you a rough estimate.
We are happy to accept all documents that are valid in Germany – your passport, ID card or driving license. Please understand that we cannot accept a health card or school ID as a valid form of identification.
JEWELLERY
Due to the nature of body jewellery and health department guidelines, we can not accept any returns on body jewellery. Please make sure you are choosing the correct gauge and diameter/length of jewellery – our piercers are always happy to help you fit a piece to ensure that the sizing is correct.
We at MAYDUNA stand behind our products, almost all jewellery is guaranteed for life against any potential manufacturing defects.
If you believe your item has a manufacturing defect (discolouration, a stone has fallen out), you can bring it to us for inspection. Please get in touch with us and we will explain the process. We do not cover broken pins due to many cases of jewellery misuse.
We do not cover loss of jewellery, but we do advise you to add it to your insurance or look into jewellery insurance if you want to be protected against loss or theft.
We also do not cover damage done by yourself or other piercers by installing, removing or attempting to repair your jewellery.
Expert jewellers from world renown companies have crafted your jewellery. Our jewellery ...
... is internally threaded or threadless.
... is hand polished for a mirror finish.
... contains hand set stones without glue.
... is made out of nickel free, biocompatible materials – so you can wear it safely for the rest of your life.
... is provided with a warranty against manufacturing defects.
We have created a guide on how your jewellery works:
Threadless jewellery:
The threadless jewellery is held in place by the tension of the attachment pin on the bent end. To remove the jewellery, hold it at both ends and pull in opposite directions. To reinsert, first insert the pin from the back, insert the attachment pin from the front and squeeze the jewellery.
Internally threaded jewellery:
The ends of this jewellery can be removed by unscrewing them (righty tighty, lefty loosey).
BCR (ball closure ring):
The clamping ball is held in place by pressure on both sides. To remove it, pull it out of the ring. To reinsert, insert one side of the ring into one of the indentations on the ball and press until it is firmly in place.
Seam rings:
These rings bend open. Hold the ring at 3 and 9 o'clock, with the opening at 12 o'clock, and push/pull in opposite directions to open the ring. Do the same in the opposite direction to close the ring again. Do not pull the ring apart as this will cause the jewellery to warp.
Clickers:
These rings have a small part attached to a hinge. Carefully pull the hinge part upwards so that the ring opens.
