Make sure to check the Prince Albert piercing age restriction before coming to store. It can help to avoid any undue disappointment. In a Blue Banana studio, the Prince Albert piercing age restriction is 21 where ID is a requirement. This is the same in England and Wales.

Once you’re all booked in, you will have some forms to fill out. A member of Blue Banana staff will go through the steps and can help you pick out jewellery. Then you can meet the piercer! They too will give you a quick consultation and briefing before discussing the Prince Albert piercing location. For the safety of you and the piercer, another member of staff will be present in the room during your piercing procedure.

Prince Albert piercings are usually pierced with a BCR and can be changed later to a ring, curved barbell, or circular barbell. Your piercer will pass a needle through the piercing site and then insert the jewellery. You will have the chance to check you are happy with the location before the piercer starts the procedure.

During the healing process, it is important to avoid knocking the piercing or putting pressure on the area as this will slow down healing and can even cause unnecessary problems. During the healing process, wear loose clothing to prevent the piercing from being rubbed or caught, do not go swimming or participate in any other water-based activity including hot tubs, and refrain from sexual activities for at least 2 weeks.

When cleaning your Prince Albert piercing, make sure to wash your hands with antibacterial soap before touching your piercing. Gently clean your Prince Albert piercing twice a day with salt water solution or Tea Tree Oil by bathing it using cotton wool or by submerging your piercing into a cup of saltwater.

There are a range of colours and designs to choose from in our Prince Albert piercing jewellery range. When choosing your piercing jewellery there are a few things you should consider: 

• Jewellery Size – Make sure to find out from your piercer the size your Prince Albert piercing jewellery should be. 
• Jewellery Material – piercing materials differ not only through their look but also how they could react to your skin. If you have sensitive skin that is prone to irritation, one of the many Titanium jewellery options is recommended. This material comes in a variety of colours and is durable too! 

When searching for a piece of jewellery make sure you know your measurements. We display the piercing jewellery measurements as Gauge first (displayed in millimetres) then Diameter/Length, e.g. 1.2mm x 8mm. 

• Gauge – this is the thickness of the jewellery itself. 
• Diameter – the width across the widest point of the jewellery for hoops and rings. 
• Length – the length of the piercing bar, usually not including the ball. 

Make sure to check out the tips from our piercing guides for information about changing and removing piercing jewellery.
