Body jewelry is worn inside a wound and is in contact with your internal tissues, only certain products are suitable. The look of the jewelry that is placed in your fresh piercing must be secondary to aspects that affect safety and compatibility with your body. The size, style, material, and quality of the initial piece of jewelry all affect your ability to heal. The jewelry can be changed after you have successfully healed. Because the body jewelry industry is saturated with substandard products, piercers and clients alike may forget that cost alone should never be the key factor in your purchase.
The simplest way to describe the jewelry is it looks like a flat plate which sits beneath the skin with a single exit for a barbell post giving the visual effect of jewelry (a bead, spike, etc.) that appears to be screwed right into the body.

Jewelry for this piercing should be made of titanium. Titanium is a lightweight metal that is ideal for people with concerns about nickel sensitivity. This material can be anodized to create jewelry of different colors without affecting the safety. Look for implant certified titanium (Ti6Al4V ELI) that is ASTM F-136 compliant or ISO 5832-3 compliant, or commercially pure titanium that is ASTM F-67 compliant.
This piercing can either be done with a needle or a dermal punch. Either way is fine depending on the piercers preference. The jewelry is placed into a pocket beneath the skin. The jewelry typically has a hole or multiple holes on the flat plate that is placed under the surface. Your skin with heal and grow through these holes to help firmly hold your jewelry in place. An internally threaded post will protrude to the surface making it easy to change your jewelry tops for your desired look.

The healing time on this piercing can be one to three months depending on placement, after care, and your body. There is no need to twist or touch your jewelry, as this will only irritate your new piercing. It is very important to avoid snagging this piercing. You need to be aware at all times of things that could catch it such as; clothing, loofahs, wash rags, and towels. To clean your piercing you can either use H2Ocean or a saline soak. With the H2ocean spray both sides two to three times a day. You can make the saline soak at home by using a non-iodized sea salt mixture: Dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized (iodine-free) sea salt into one cup (8 oz.) of warm distilled or bottled water, soak for five to ten minutes two to three times per day. Dry by gently patting with clean, disposable paper products. Cloth towels can harbor bacteria and snag on jewelry, causing injury. Some risks can be migration, rejection, scarring, and snagging accidents.

To remove the jewelry, the area around it is massaged, and the piece manipulated gently out. A small cut may need to be made to remove this jewelry if the tissue has grown to the plate. Having this jewelry surgically removed by a doctor is a common misconception, any piercer that is able to insert the jewelry for you should also be able to remove it.

Dermal anchors are great for a unique look since they can be put in a variety of places on the body and in a variety of different patterns. Since they are a more advance piercing to heal most piercers prefer to do these on adults (18 years or older). For any further questions feel free to contact any of our piercers at Blue Boutique.

Cock rings are made from many different materials and come in many sizes, shapes, and colors. The purpose of the cock ring is to stop the flow of blood from the penis, ensuring a longer erection (in both duration and size!), as well as more sensation, and ultimately, a better orgasm. They can either be worn at the base of the penis, or around the penis and the scrotum. Aside from helping penises stay up, they also serve a recreational function: many cock rings have mini vibrators attached for lots of fun for two!

At Downtown Blue Boutique, we have a huge selection of cock rings. Our favorite is Tor by Lelo, a manly, satiny, stretchy, rechargeable, super powerful vibrating ring. Dr.Laura Berman’s Minerva has a vertical vibe attached to the ring, so everytime she slides up or down your shaft, she’ll be in for a treat! The Rock’n’Rabbit has two vibes attached, so while one stimulates her clitoris, the other will be tingling the testicles, making for an exciting, explosive orgasm.

If you prefer your cock ring not vibrate, we suggest Spartacus brand skin-safe elastomer rings. Super stretchy and soft, Spartacus will keep you going all night. If you’re looking to try something new, try our Ultimate Stroker Beads. Not only do they add support to keep him up, but they’re beautiful and add an entirely new sensation for his partner.
If you have a penis in your life, come down to Downtown Blue Boutique and let us put a ring on it!

Take my recent Flasher for example. Last week, I had a man come into the store, introduce himself to me and then wander off to look around. I guess he needed a few moments to work up a little nerve…or something like that. After a few minutes he walked up to the counter, unbuttoned his trench coat (I know, I know) and asked me a question to get my attention. Well, imagine my surprise, and horror, as I walked over to answer him and realized that there was something hanging out of his pants that shouldn’t be. “Put that thing away right now!” I remember saying, as I point to the door. “And get out before I call the police.” He stuttered sheepishly for a second and tried to act like maybe it was an accident or something. Like anyone would walk into a store with their pants unbuttoned and their private parts hanging out “accidentally.”  Yeah, right dude. As I was hurriedly escorting him outside, in order to protect the eyes of unsuspecting customers, he got up the nerve to give me one final thought: “I don’t know what the big deal is,” he said, “this is a sex shop.” I again mentioned the police and away he went.

Yes, flasher man, this IS a sex shop. That means we sell sex toys and give appropriate advice as needed. It does NOT mean we want to see your junk. The same laws that apply out there apply in here. It is illegal to be flashing your genitals to unknowing (and unwilling!) parties, whether you are in the grocery store, the mall or the Blue Boutique.

Like I said, this place can definitely shock and surprise you at times, but I suppose it just comes with the territory. At least I always have the best work stories to tell my friends at the end of the day!

The Ampallang is not as common of a piercing as say a “Prince Albert” For males seeking to have their penis pierced. This piercing, once healed, is often pleasurable to the bearer because it stimulates the internal penis tissues. It can be sexually stimulating to the receiving partner during sexual intercourse usually due to stimulation of the G spot. But It has also been said to be painful for the partner due to the sensitivity of the soft tissue inside the vagina. It is recommended you Talk with your partner and piercer to decide if this the correct piercing for you.
There are a few different techniques used and vary from piercer to piercer. The most common two are the clamp and free hand method..although some piercer’s prefer the dermal punch and taper method. It is placed either above or passing through the urethra on both sides. A 12g or 10g barbell is the jewelry suggested for this piercing. It is important that the piercer uses the correct length of jewelry as to allow swelling and room for a erection. It is also suggested the customer take a measurement of his erection as to give the piercer a idea of the jewelry required. As with any piercing passing into the urethra or through the glands of the head of the penis you can expect bleeding lasting 3-5 days. The amount of blood differs from person to person and is completely normal.To protect clothing and the piercing it is suggested the wearer use either a nonstick bandage and a barrier such as a spermicidal and lubricant free condom or a rubber glove fastened with a rubber band. In some cases the piercer can puncture a large vessel located in the head of the penis called the “corpus cavernosum” It was a old urban legend that said piercing this vessel one could bleed to death. This Is completely untrue. If it is in fact punctured one can expect heaver bleeding initially and for the first few days. The technique of piercing and the stretching to a larger size can stop the initial bleeding but can also cause alot of trauma to the piercing and is not recommended.Keep in mind this is a very advanced piercing and only should be performed by a skilled professional.Never let a novice piercer perform this piercing on you!

The Healing process can take anywhere from 3 months to 1 year or longer to fully heal. Sex should be avoided for the first several weeks or longer listen to your body if something hurts stop! Is a good rule of thumb. Never have unprotected sex with a healing piercing It does not matter if you are in a monogamous relationship!. Urine is sterile to one’s own body and also will help flush out any blood that might gather into the urethra. Cleaning the piercing Warm saline soaks are recommended 3-5 times a day.If the piercing does in fact pass through the urethra it can interrupt the urine flow and might cause the wearer to sit or alter how they urinate.For full aftercare instructions visit any blue boutique or follow the link on our website!

While some piercers may choose to avoid the nerve bundle that runs along the center of the frenulum altogether, others do not. The piercing may be centered if the person is circumcised. Otherwise, the piercing may be done off center because the surrounding skin needs to be able to reposition itself dynamically.

The most common jewelry use for a PA piercing is a captive bead ring however you can also use a circular barbell as well as a larger curved barbell. All jewelry inserted in a healing piercing should be made out of either 316-LVM ASTM f-138 implant grade Surgical Stainless Steel or ASTM F-136 6AI-4V ELI Titanium.

Jewelry should be “internally threaded”. This means the end ball threads into the post. Never be pierced with “externally threaded” jewelry. This type of jewelry is cheap. Jewelry not made of surgical stainless steel and can cause micro tears in the tissue that can harbor bacteria that may lead to a infection.

Rumor has it the Prince Albert piercing is named after Prince Albert who was the husband of Queen Victoria of England. He was reputeded to have had this piercing done prior to his marriage to the queen around 1825, at that time Beau Brummel started the craze for ultra tight mens trousers. Because the pants were so tight, the penis needed to be held to one side or the other so as not to create an unsightly bulge. To accomplish this some men had their penis pierced to allow it to be held by a hook on the inside of the trousers, this piercing was called a “Dressing Ring” at the time because tailors would ask if a gentleman dressed to the left or the right and tailor the trousers accordingly, tailors to this day will ask if you dress to the left or right.

The Prince Albert piercing may have been practiced in European culture for some time, and while there are many tentative theories as to its origin, the true origin of this piercing is unknown. Many of the theories regarding this piercing’s history suggest that the piercing was used to secure the penis in some manner, rather than having a sexual or cultural purpose. In modern times the Prince Albert piercing was developed by Jim Ward in the early 1970s. In West Hollywood (a gay village of Los Angeles), Ward met Doug Malloy and Fakir Musafar. Together these men further developed the Prince Albert piercing. Perhaps more fatefully, Malloy published a pamphlet, Body & Genital Piercing in Brief, in which he concocted fanciful histories of genital piercings in particular. These ersatz tales which included the notion that Prince Albert invented the piercing that shares his name in order to tame the appearance of his large penis in tight trousers are widely circulated as urban legend. No historical proof of their veracity has been located independent of Malloy’s assertions.

Like many other male genital piercings, it has a history of practice in gay culture in the twentieth century and became known outside that culture at the same time that body piercing began to emerge in popular culture in the late 1970s. The relatively easy procedure, rapid healing and claims of additional sexual stimulation (both to the wearer and his partner in sexual intercourse) attributed to this piercing have come to make the Prince Albert the most common male genital piercing.

Many men considering getting this piercing are put off by the idea that it must be painful, however the pain is minimal. The piece of skin where the piercing is done is very thin, less than 1mm thick. The pain is just a very short sharp pain which lasts usually a second or two.

The Prince Albert piercing is a very easy piercing to heal, because every time you urinate you clean and disinfect the wound, I have never heard of a single person having a problem with this piercing. Urine is sterile when it leaves the body because it has been purified by the kidneys, and it contains a large amount of ammonia which is a strong antiseptic. The more water you drink the quicker the piercing will heal, try to drink at least 8 glasses a day . You may experience some bleeding in the first 36-48 hours, don’t be afraid this is normal and will stop eventually. The PA can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months to be fully healed “every buddy’s body is different”. Personal hygiene must be kept to a very high standard. Avoid touching or rotating your jewelry. Also avoid oral sex, or sex for these could cause some problems during the healing process. If you find it necessary to touch your piercing, make sure your hands are washed, cleaned and dried.

A piercing heals in stages so diligence is required to during the first few stages.

To take care of your piercing you can do saline soaks or even a saline spray a couple times a day
There is one drawback to having a Prince Albert piercing, because the ring goes through the urethra you will dribble when you urinate. This problem is worse for some people more than others. When urinating into a toilet bowl you have to stand with your legs on either side of the bowl, and make sure not to shake when you finish, just relax for a few moments before putting your penis away. When you are standing at a urinal stand with you legs well spread close to the urinal and lean forward with your back arched. The problem improves with time, and the insertion of the thicker ring, but it never goes completely away.

For a complete aftercare instructions feel free to stop by one of the Blue Boutiques and ask one of our highly trained, knowledgeable piercers.

Let us help you in making the right decision for your new piercing.

Most tragus piercings are performed while you’re lying down because the thick cartilage requires a bit more pressure to puncture, and it’s easier to keep your head still in this position. The piercing itself is usually made with a 18-16 gauge hollow piercing needle. The needle may either be straight or curved depending on the piercers preference. Once the hole is made, the jewelry is then threaded through. The tragus piercing can be done with a captive bead ring, barbells or even a labret stud. I prefer to use titanium posts because they have less chance of snagging during the healing period. Tragus piercings don’t tend hurt as much as you might expect because there are very few nerve endings in this location. It is normal to feel the pressure from the needle because of the exceptionally thick cartilage. It is also common to get some “sound effects” due to the location. You can expect to hear a popping sound although not everyone does.

Not everyone has the correct anatomy for this piercing. Your piercer can look at it and let you know if you are a prime candidate for this piercing. Depending on the angle of your tragus it is usually placed perpendicular to the tissue. It should set well in from the edge.

The tragus lacks vascularity (blood supply) so it can be tricky to heal. There is a tendency for cartilage piercings to develop small bumps during healing. They can be formed by the surface tissue being pushed away from the cartilage by the needle. Some piercers will compress the tissue after the piercing which can help reduce the risk of any bumps forming. If your tragus is to small, not properly pierced, or has had significant trauma you may face a risk of migration or rejection. Migration is when your jewelry moves closer to the surface tissue. It is possible for a piercing to migrate, settle, and heal. Your piercing should have 5/16 inch of tissue between the entrance and exit holes or you may have a strong possibility of losing it. Never let your jewelry come all the way through to the surface or you will often be left with a split scar.

It is important to minimize trauma and pressure to successfully heal any cartilage piercing. Try sleeping on the opposite side while healing. Avoid snagging on hair or brushes. Avoid ear buds and phones. Try to use the phone on the side opposite of your piercing to not only avoid bumping but to avoid getting bacteria in your new piercing (phones are dirty). There is no need to twist or touch your jewelry as this will only irritate your new piercing. To clean your piercing you can either use H2Ocean or a saline soak. With the H2ocean spray both sides two to three times a day. You can make the saline soak at home by using a non-iodized sea salt mixture: Dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized (iodine-free) sea salt into one cup (8 oz.) of warm distilled or bottled water soak for five to ten minutes two to three times per day. Dry by gently patting with clean, disposable paper products. Cloth towels can harbor bacteria and snag on jewelry, causing injury.

Piercing a tragus is a bit more difficult than other portions of the ear, but it really looks unique. If you’re searching for something out of the ordinary, perhaps you’d like to give it a try? If you have any questions or would like to see if you are a good candidate for this piercing feel free to come in and speak with any of our experienced piercers.

All over the world, including right here in the good ‘ol U.S. of A, the powers that be try and regulate how we copulate. Here are a few prime examples of their meddling ways.

• In Rombach, Virginia it is illegal for people to have sex with the lights on. I’m pretty sure the jail population would skyrocket if they were actually enforcing this one!
• A law in Washington state declares that it is against the law for anyone to have sex with a virgin. Technically, that would even include their spouse on the wedding night. How is anyone ever supposed to get their V card taken???
• In our nation’s capitol, Washington D.C., the only legal sexual position is the missionary position. Leave it to the government to make sex as boring as possible, right?

Even though most of society looks down upon bestiality, there must be a few people out there with some lusty thoughts about animals if someone felt the need to enact the following laws.

• There is a law in the middle east that states “after having sexual relations with a lamb, it is a mortal sin to eat its flesh.” Do you think there is some mother out there who has to tell her kids “sorry guys, we WERE going to have lamb chops, but dad got a little frisky” Eeeewww…
• In Florida it is illegal to have sex with a porcupine. Who would even want to try this one…ouch!!!

• It is against the law in Minnesota for a man to have sex with a live fish. Does that mean it’s okay for women?

In some countries, sex and the people you have it with are highly regulated and can come with some pretty stiff consequences. Be glad you don’t live in one of these places!

• Masturbation is a big no-no in Indonesia – the penalty for it is decapitation. I guess the Blue Boutique wouldn’t last long there.

• A betrayed wife in Hong Kong is legally allowed to kill her husband when he cheats on her, but must do so with only her bare hands. You know what they say about a woman scorned, right?

• In Limon, Costa Rica both adulterous parties are in for real trouble – they are both subject to being beaten and then drowned. Doesn’t seem worth that lusty affair, does it?

And of course there are just those laws out there that are completely ridiculous. Makes you wonder if somebody was drunk the day they made up these ones.

• Saleswomen in Liverpool, England can be topless while they are selling you things – but only at a fish store. Hmmm, well at least they wouldn’t get their shirts wet reaching into those tanks all day.

• In Bozeman, Montana there is a law that bans all sexual activity between members of the opposite sex, in the front yard, after sundown – if they are nude. Does that mean if you’re gay and it’s daytime that it’s game on?

• No man is allowed to make love to his wife with the smell of garlic, onions or sardines on his breath in Alexandria, Minnesota. A little crazy, but can’t really say we disagree!

 As crazy and backward as most of us think Utah is, this is a good reminder that we’re not the only ones who have some crazy ideas about sex. So enjoy what we’ve got and remember, it could always be worse!
