Virtue & Vice Mission Statement:
We believe it to be a professional imperative to provide our clientele with the best possible service. We have focused on the following standards:

Sterilization
Virtue & Vice uses a revolutionary sterilization process. The equipment used to sterilize for your piercing is called a StatimClave. This state-of-the-art unit houses individual cassettes that will contain all items coming into contact with your body (needle, jewelry, forceps, etc.). This process doesn't require the use of pouches and allows your piercer to maintain "point of process" sterilization.

After you have made your jewelry selection, your cassette is assembled with everything needed for your piercing and then placed within the sterilizer. Once the sterilization cycle is complete, you will witness its opening. Along with the piercing supplies, this package contains an individual, numbered sterilization monitor strip. This strip lets you and your piercer know that the items to be used have been properly sterilized.

All employees of Virtue & Vice are trained in universal precautions as to protect both themselves, and their clientele, from the spread of disease.

Placement
Jewelry and placement options are selected to fit each persons' individual anatomy. It is our great regret that many piercers lack either the experience or the training to assess people's anatomy on an individual basis. This will often result in unattractive, virtually unhealable piercings. Starting the process with a bad or inappropriate placement can be a truly miserable experience.

Jewelry
We provide jewelry made from the purest, most well-manufactured materials available. Each material used has been painstakingly researched.

Technique
All piercer skills are technically advanced. All procedures are performed with great speed and accuracy using the most effective and efficient methods. Often the client doesn't even realize that s/he has already received the piercing.
