Ear Piercing
Lobes, upper lobes, helix, and other ear placements, mapped to your ear shape rather than a fixed template. Ear work is also where most curated projects start.

Piercing services
What we pierce.
Nose Piercing
Nostril placements positioned with your nose shape and the jewelry style you want in mind — a hoop and a stud don't sit the same way.
Septum
Central septum placement planned around your anatomy so the jewelry sits level and can be flipped up if you need it out of sight.
Lip
Lip and surrounding placements planned with attention to teeth, gums, and the way the jewelry sits while it heals.
Eyebrow
Angled eyebrow placements chosen to follow your brow line and to stay clear of movement and glasses where possible.
Navel
Navel piercings placed with your anatomy and clothing in mind, since waistbands are the main irritation source during healing.
Facial Piercings
Wider facial placements planned in consultation — position, jewelry style, and how the piece balances with any piercings you already have.
Body Piercings
Body placements beyond the face and ears, discussed individually so you know what to expect from placement and healing before booking.
Curated Ear Styling
A planned combination of placements and jewelry across one or both ears, built around balance, spacing, and what you already have.
Jewelry Changes
Swapping jewelry in an existing piercing, including upgrades and help with threaded and hinged pieces that are awkward to change yourself.
Piercing Aftercare
Instructions specific to your placement, plus follow-up support — see the full piercing aftercare guide any time.
Dermal & Advanced Consultations
Microdermal and advanced requests are handled as consultations first. Contact the studio to confirm current availability for your specific request.
The process
Our piercing process.
- 01
Talk it through
You describe what you want; your piercer looks at the anatomy and tells you which placements will actually work well.
- 02
Choose jewelry
Material, size, and style get selected together, with healing stage in mind — initial jewelry isn't always the final look.
- 03
Setup and placement
The area is prepared, the placement is marked and checked with you, and nothing happens until you're happy with the mark.
- 04
Aftercare and follow-up
You get instructions for your specific piercing, and you can come back for downsizing or a jewelry change when it's time.
Choosing your piercing
Getting the placement right.
- Start with anatomy
- Not every placement suits every ear, nose, or navel. A piercer will tell you which options your anatomy supports before you commit.
- Think about your routine
- Glasses, headphones, sport, sleeping position, and work dress codes all affect which placement is comfortable to heal.
- Plan the order
- If you want several piercings eventually, sequencing them makes healing easier and gives a better final arrangement.
- Pick jewelry for the stage
- Initial jewelry is chosen for healing. Decorative upgrades come later, once the piercing is settled.
Jewelry & styling
Jewelry is part of the piercing.
Jewelry is part of the piercing, not an accessory bought afterwards. Fit — post length, diameter, and shape — affects comfort and how the piercing heals, so it's selected with you in studio rather than guessed.
The studio's jewelry offering includes titanium, gold, opal and diamond pieces, and premium upgrades. If you want a specific look, bring reference images to your appointment and your piercer can work out what's achievable for that placement.
See the full body jewelry range or read our guide to choosing body jewelry.
Curated ear styling
A curated ear is a planned arrangement rather than a collection of separate decisions. Your piercer looks at what you already have, where there's room, and how metals, sizes, and shapes will read together, then maps out placements — sometimes in one appointment, sometimes staged so each one can heal properly.
Aftercare
Piercing aftercare.
Most piercing problems come from over-handling, not under-cleaning. Wash your hands, clean as instructed with sterile saline, leave the jewelry alone, and be careful with clothing, bedding, hair, and headphones. Healing times vary a lot by placement, and cartilage in particular can take months.

Answers
Piercing FAQ
Do I need an appointment for a piercing?
An appointment is the best way to guarantee a time with a piercer, and you can book directly through the piercing booking link. Walk-ins are welcome when a piercer is free, but availability changes day to day, so call 720-670-0827 before you come to Colorado Mills.
What ID do I need for a piercing?
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID. Requirements depend on the piercing and your age. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian with their own ID and consent, and some placements may not be available to minors. Call the studio before your visit to confirm what applies to you.
How should I prepare for a piercing appointment?
Eat a proper meal beforehand, drink water, avoid alcohol and get some rest. Wear clothing that gives easy access to the placement, such as tops that don't pull over a new ear or navel piercing. Bring valid ID and some reference photos of the look you want. Our piercing preparation guide covers the rest.
How do I choose the right piercing placement?
Bring photos of the look you want and let your piercer assess your anatomy in person. The shape of your ear, nose or navel determines which placements will sit well and heal comfortably. Your piercer will mark the placement and check it with you before anything is done.
What jewelry will I be pierced with?
Your jewelry is chosen with your piercer at the studio, based on the placement, fit and what is suitable for a fresh piercing. Synergy Body Art carries titanium, gold and premium pieces, including opal and diamond options. Initial jewelry is usually a little longer to allow for swelling.
How long does a piercing take to heal?
Healing time depends heavily on the placement. Lobes usually heal faster, while cartilage, navel and other placements can take several months or longer. A piercing often looks healed on the outside before it is fully healed inside, so keep following aftercare and check with your Synergy Body Art piercer before changing jewelry.
Can you change or upgrade jewelry in a piercing I already have?
Yes. Jewelry changes, upgrades, fittings and downsizing are all part of what the studio does, including for piercings done elsewhere. Stop by our Colorado Mills studio and a piercer will check the piercing and help you choose a piece that fits properly.
Can I get multiple piercings in one visit?
Often, yes, depending on the placements and how they will heal together. Your piercer may recommend doing a few at once or staging them over several visits, especially for cartilage or curated ear projects, so each piercing heals well and you can sleep comfortably.
What if my piercing looks irritated?
Don't remove the jewelry on your own, since that can trap an infection or let the piercing close. Contact the studio so a piercer can take a look and advise. If you notice signs of infection, such as excessive redness, swelling or pus, seek medical attention immediately.
