Adorn Body Piercing is a body piercing studio in the New World end of Botany Town Centre, 588 Chapel Road, East Tāmaki, Manukau, Auckland, and holds a 4.9 Google rating. A good piercing is decided as much by the jewellery and the healing as by the needle itself: implant-grade titanium in the right gauge and length, placed to suit your actual anatomy, saves most of the trouble later. Expect a proper consult first — a skilled piercer will steer you away from placements your ear or navel simply can't hold. Healing is slow, patient work: lobes can take a couple of months, cartilage most of a year, and saline soaks beat twisting or alcohol by a mile. Regulars also know to come back for a downsizing once the swelling settles. For east Aucklanders, there's no need to trek into the city — this studio sits right in the middle of a Botany shopping trip.
