Safe Piercings


Although piercing has been a part of life for centuries, it is only over the last few decades that modern piercing has begun to evolve. Today, people of all walks of life are getting pierced for a variety of reasons.

With the growing acceptance of piercing, a focus on safety, sterility, technique, tools, and appropriate jewelry is essential. Our goal at Scarab Body Arts is to offer the highest-quality service and information for your security and peace of mind.

How Do We Do It?


To ensure your piercing experience is enjoyable and safe, all of our in-stock jewelry meets APP (Association of Professional Piercers) standards. We only carry internally threaded jewelry made of the finest materials. We also carry the largest selection of solid 14K and 18K solid gold body jewelry and precious gemstones in Central New York.

Our piercers stay up to date with the ever changing industry standards in health and safety by attending continuing education online and in person, across the United States and abroad. We attend conferences put on by the Association of Professional Piercers, and we have members on staff.
