We do not take walk-ins. Appointments are required for all services, including jewelry shopping. This is so we can ensure that all your questions are answered and there are no interruptions during your time with us. To book an appointment, please visit the artist's or piercing professional's bio page to set up an appointment that works for you.

We pierce/tattoo minors 16 and up only. The parent/legal guardian must be present for the appointment and a signed and notarized minor consent form is required to perform the service. The forms can be found below. Please keep in mind that some piercing services are only available for individuals who are 18+, regardless of parental consent. For minors under the age of 16 seeking piercings, we highly recommend Leo Cabrera of Dungeon Tattoos in Orlando.

Yes. Here at Virtue Studios, we take the time to personally help you select pieces that fit your budget and individual style. In addition, we measure your anatomy, sterilize, and install the jewelry for you while your here!

You can set up a tattoo consultation appointment online by visiting your artist's bio page, scrolling down to their scheduler and selecting the service, date & time that works best for you. Piercing services can be scheduled on our booking page and now the piercing fee to be paid at the time of booking. **Please note: Industrial piercings (18+ only) and navel piercings require a piercing consultation before scheduling a piercing date.

We require 24 hours notice of cancellation or rescheduling. If you're going to be more than 8 minutes late to your appointment, we ask that you give us a call to reschedule so other appointments during the day aren't affected.

No. Numbing cream changes the texture of your skin, making it difficult to work with. This can negatively impact your tattoo/piercing. Yes, we can tell if you've used numbing cream, even if you have wiped it off. If you have applied numbing cream before your appointment, we will have to reschedule with you.

The short answer is no. The reason why is because of the risks involved with you having a fresh, open wound and traveling to a foreign country. You're opening yourself up to not only the higher possibility of infection, but also complications with healing that can easily be prevented if you wait until after you return from your trip.

No. Not only is this a health risk, it is illegal to pierce or tattoo any pregnant or breastfeeding person in the state of Florida.

We offer most piercings, with a few exceptions. We do NOT offer the following piercings: -ANY tongue piercings -Web piercings (smileys/frownies/under tongue web) -Cheek piercings -Surface Anchors aka "Dermals" (we will remove them for you though!) -ANY penile piercings

For legal reasons, we can't allow you to bring you own jewelry, unless it was purchased from us for a previous piercing. If you did purchase jewelry from us for a previous piercing, please drop off your jewelry about a week in advance of your appointment so we can sterilize it for you.

With a clean, dry finger, push on the back of your post. If the jewelry stays out without slowly sliding back in, then yes! You're ready for a downsize! If it slowly slides back in, then you need to wait a bit longer. Downsizing is an important part of the healing process so your jewelry doesn't catch on your hair or clothing, or rock back and forth within the placement and cause irritation and migration.

Please send a few photos to Natalie through Facebook or Instagram @PositivelyPiercing with a description of the issue(s). Or you can set up a piercing check up appointment online. If the jewelry has torn through the skin, or you have signs of infection (heat, swelling, redness, green discharge and/or a foul odor), please seek medical attention. If you see red lines coming from the piercing or if your jewelry has become severely embedded, please go to your nearest emergency room immediately.

While Virtue Studios does not pierce minors under the age of 16, it's our position that minors under 16 should not get their ears pierced until they can: 1) Verbally ask for and consent to the piercings AND 2) Properly care for and protect the piercings Young children and infants are susceptible to touching and playing with the piercing with dirty hands which can lead to difficulties with healing, including infection. It may also be difficult or impossible for young children and infants to verbalize any issues with healing before it's too late and medical attention is required. Also, young children will not be able to participate in certain leisure activities and hygiene practices such as swimming or bathing in bathtubs; as piercings cannot be submerged until fully healed.

Yes. All of our artists offer cover-up tattoos, however, it's best to set up a consultation before hand so they can collaborate with you on the best design to cover up your previous tattoo.

Each artist has their own boundaries on which tattoos they will or won't do for a client, so it's always a good idea to ask just in case. However, it is our studio policy that the following tattoos are NOT performed on any client: -Any hate symbols, slogans, sayings, or slurs -Tattoos on the eyeball

Typically, on the day of the tattoo we'll review the design together and make any necessary changes then. If you would like to see a draft of your tattoo design in advance, we ask that you set up an appointment to come in about a week before your appointment so we can make any changes (if needed) ahead of time.

Please send your artist pictures of the tattoo and a description of the issues. They can usually help you correct the issue. They may also have you come in to check things out in person and provide you with additional after care instructions. If you're experiencing signs of infection, such as fever, swelling, or pus, please seek medical attention. If you notice red lines traveling from the tattoo, blistering, or experience fever/chills, please go to your nearest emergency room immediately.
