Does Permanent Jewelry Mean We Tattoo or Weld Jewelry to Your Skin? (Yes, We Get Asked That a Lot!)

If you’ve been hearing all the buzz about permanent jewelry but are still a little unsure what it actually is, you’re not alone! One of the most common questions we get asked at Spa Olivia is:

“Wait… does permanent jewelry mean you tattoo or weld it to my skin?!”

So let’s clear this up (and have a little fun along the way):

No, We Don’t Weld Jewelry to Your Skin!

When we say “permanent jewelry,” we’re talking about clasp-free, custom-fitted jewelry like bracelets, anklets, and necklaces that are welded closed—but never to your skin!

Here’s how it works:

• First, we custom fit your jewelry to you — so no awkward sizing or loose pieces.
• Then, using a quick and safe spark from a precision welding machine, we close the jump ring that connects your chain.
• The weld happens slightly away from your skin, with a leather patch for extra protection.
• No needles. No pain. No burning. Just a spark and a beautiful, lasting accessory!

Think of it like this: we’re welding the chain to itself, not to you. You walk away with a stunning piece that stays on until you decide to take it off (which is super easy — more on that below).

Fun Facts About Permanent Jewelry (That You Probably Didn’t Know!)

•  It’s not actually “forever” if you don’t want it to be.

Although we call it “permanent jewelry,” if you ever need or want to remove it, you can simply snip the small jump ring where it was welded — no tools required other than scissors or wire cutters. And yes, we can re-weld it for you anytime!

• You can swim, shower, and live life without worry.

Our chains are high-quality sterling silver, gold-filled, and rose gold-filled, meaning the finish won’t tarnish or rub off and are designed to withstand daily life. Sweat, water, and soap won’t ruin your jewelry — so feel free to live your best life!

• Custom to you — and totally stackable.

Want to mix metals? Add a birthstone charm? Stack two or three bracelets? Yes, yes, and yes! You can personalize your piece to reflect your style. (And if you get more than one, you’ll receive 10% off your order!)

• It’s safe for travel — and even sensitive skin!

Worried about airport security? No problem — our metals won’t set off alarms. And if you’re concerned about skin sensitivities, our hypoallergenic metals are gentle on skin.

• Perfect for special moments and group fun!

Permanent jewelry is one of the best ways to celebrate milestones — think friendship bracelets, mother-daughter bonding, bridal parties, birthdays, and more. Bring a friend or group to Spa Olivia, or have us come to you for a private pop-up event!
