Complimentary Downsizing Service
Many piercings are initially fitted with slightly longer jewellery to allow room, for swelling during the first weeks of healing.
Once the swelling has reduced, usually after approximately 30-45 days, a shorter post may be recommended to improve comfort, healing and aesthetics.
At Tatuaria de Brito, we offer one complimentary dowsizing appointment for piercings performed at our studio.
If your jewellery feels too long or uncomfortable after the initial healing period, simply contact us and we will be happy to assess your piercing and advise wheter downsizing is recommended.
