Welcome to Intensive Care
The fusion of passion, artistry, and precision
We’re thrilled to unveil Intensive Care, the bold new home of two powerful identities: Flesh Wound Body Piercing and YoggieBear. This evolution brings together years of expertise, edge, and creativity under one name.
Flesh Wound Body Piercing — Redefining the Art of Modification
Based in Wellington, Flesh Wound has earned its reputation for unmatched hygiene, expert technique, and deep-rooted knowledge in the body piercing world. We’re proud to be the only studio in the lower North Island offering not only classic piercings and stretchings but also advanced body modification including Cutting, Branding, Hook Suspensions, and Live Theatre Performance.
A Mindful Approach to Piercing
At Flesh Wound, it’s more than a piercing—it’s an experience. Each piercing begins with a gentle tissue massage of the piercing site to ease tension and promote body readiness. Through guided deep breathing techniques, we help you stay calm and grounded, ensuring your experience is as smooth and empowering as possible.
No gimmicks here—we don’t use numbing agents or sprays. Why? Because proper piercing requires skill, not shortcuts. These substances are unnecessary, non-sterile, and often do more harm than good. Our precision makes the process fast, clean, and low-pain—naturally.
Aftercare That Actually Cares
Every client walks away with:
- Verbal and written aftercare guidance
- Info on healing time, jewellery specs, materials, and thread type
- A recommended check-up/downsize date
We’re with you beyond the piercing chair. We offer complimentary clean/check-up appointments 2–3 weeks after your visit—or anytime you need us.
Intensive Care isn’t just a studio. It’s a standard. A sanctuary. A statement. Stay tuned—more details on YoggieBear and our full offering are coming soon.
Safety
Flesh Wound’s Vacuum Cycle Autoclave
Each needle is used on one piercing only and immediately disposed of in a medical sharps container.
All bio-hazardous waste and all used needles/sharps are disposed of in a safe manner.
Our sterilisation is done in-house. Firstly by soaking tools in a disinfectant, then cleaning in an Ultra Sonic Cleaner, then tools are sealed in autoclave tubing. After sterilisation in our autoclave, tools are dated and ready for storage.
All Jewellery is prepacked and sterilised, ready for installation in your new piercing.
Our Prestige Medical Autoclave is spore tested at least monthly to ensure 100% sterilisation is achieved.
