Piercings at Z-Edge

Professional body piercing at all three Z-Edge locations, North and Gulf Gate in Sarasota and our Venice shop. From ears and noses to lips, tongues and navels, every piercing is done with a sterile, single-use needle, never a gun.

Our team is led by owner Michael Crea, who has more than 30 years of experience and teaches the Florida State Body Piercing Education class.

Sterile piercing setup

Safety

Each needle is sterile, used once and thrown away. Every new piercing gets implant-grade ASTM F136 titanium or nickel-free 14k gold. We follow rigorous hygiene and sterilization standards in line with industry regulations and keep a spotless studio. For children, two piercers work at the same time, so both ears are done at once.

How to book: Request an appointment online, call any studio, or book at the front desk. We don’t book through Instagram.

Walk-ins: Welcome. Kids 10 and under are by appointment only at all locations.

Not sure yet? Book a consultation and talk it through with a piercer first.

Tandem Piercings

Two piercers work at the same time, so both sides are done at once. Available on request.

Tandem lobes: Popular with kids. See Tandem Kids Piercings.

Tandem nipples: Adults 18 and over.

Both need an appointment.

Specialty Piercings and Limits

Specialty piercings need an appointment, since not every piercer does them.

Tongue piercings go across the top, vertically or horizontally. We never pierce the tip.

Nipple, surface and dermal piercings are for adults 18 and over (see below).

18 and over only

Nipple, surface and dermal (including microdermal) piercings are for adults 18 and over. A parent’s permission doesn’t change that.

A minor’s body is still growing and stretching, and dermal and surface piercings have a higher rejection rate and can leave a scar.
