Piercing and Jewellery

Is your jewellery safe?
Wildcat exclusively produces and distributes top quality piercing jewellery. Our online shop reflects the latest assortment of piercing jewellery made of high-quality surgical steel and titanium. The jewellery contains no nickel residues or other potentially hazardous substances. Wildcat is an ISO 9001 certified company, and all its internal processes follow the respective standards. Below, you will find the ISO format certificates referring to our steel and titanium jewellery for documentation and information. Further certificates are available on request.

Which product should I order?
Are you looking for jewellery for a certain piercing? Or a kind of piercing, independent of the body part?
In both cases you can use our navigation menu and choose between materials and categories. You can also use the search bar to quickly find a specific item. Please note, however, that in case of doubt, the best option is to contact us so that we can help you with our many years of experience in this field.

Not sure about the size to order? How do you measure your piercing jewellery correctly?
We have prepared a jewellery stencil to make it easier for you to measure your jewellery.

How do I know which attachment or ball is the proper one for my jewellery?
In order to find the right counterpart for your jewellery, you must first know the thread thickness of your rod or ring. For example, a 1.6 mm-threaded rod requires a ball or a 1.6 mm-threaded attachment. Jewelry with an internal thread requires an attachment with external thread, and vice versa.

Can I combine Wildcat jewellery, e. g. a standard rod with unusual balls?
Combinables must have the same sizes, e. g. a rod with 1.6 mm thread can be combined with a ball with 1.6 mm thread. If you are unsure, just call – we will be happy to help you.

When will my desired item be back in stock?
As a rule of thumb, the replenishment time is two weeks – if that is too long for you, of course you can cancel your order at any time, just drop us an email to service@wildcat.eu or give us a call. Important: if an article is not marked with the option to be ordered in arrears (an item or a quantity that is not in stock at the moment), this means that we will not order this item again once it is sold out. As a result, it will be removed from our product range. These articles are usuallay marked with „last chance“ or „when gone, it’s gone for good“.

Are earrings or similar products such as hoops and coils sold in pairs?
Basically, items classified as earrings are always sold as pairs. The item description should also contain the necessary information. Many items such as tunnels or plugs are not available in pairs, so customers with different-sized ear holes can also choose the matching pair consisting of different sizes.

Why can’t I see prices for certain items, let alone order them?
We have a clear-cut structure here: We do not sell materials for tattooing or piercing to private customers. Only with a valid trade licence and an activated dealer account you have the possibility to order machines, tools and consumables from us. We would like to support those who take their job seriously and set a clear signal against those who are just working from their living rooms. 
A surveillance by the authorities , for example, can only take place if the studio is officially registered. This is also a measure to to protect every customer!

Wildcat Piercing: The Website and the Online Shop

Sale to private customers:
In the Wildcat shop, anyone can order items marked as available by simply placing the item in the basket and checking out. Items that cannot be sold to private customers cannot be ordered without prior registration and verification of the account. Visitors of the shop who are not registered, not logged in or logged in with a standard account (private customer) will see our standard prices and order the item for the displayed price.

Activate a professional/dealer account to see our dealer prices:
You need a valid tax identification number and trade licence on order to register as a dealer or studio in the Wildcat shop. The dealer account allows you to order at favourable dealer conditions. Please note that the activation of your account requires a manual check by us, so the activation is not automatic and can only take place during our business hours. As soon as your account is activated, you will receive a service e-mail informing you about the activation.

Our system verifies the validity of the VAT number you have entered by crossing the data with the electronic VAT data exchange system “VIES” (VAT Information Exchange System), which collects data on VAT numbers of countries belonging to the European Union. If your VAT number is invalid, it means that it has not yet been enabled for intra-Community operations. In this case you can still buy at wholesale prices, but you will be charged German VAT at 19%. Wildcat GmbH is a German company and the invoice issuing without VAT can only be made to parties authorised for transactions within the European Union.

You can check the VIES validity of your VAT number on the official website of the European Commission..

Is there a minimum order quantity or minimum order value in the Wildcat Shop?
No! Of course, you only order the articles and the quantity you really want. A minimum order value may apply to certain offers, coupon codes or promotions. However, you will always find the corresponding information in the footnote of the respective promotion.

Why can’t I see the price of some of the items?
Items that don’t seem to have a price and you can’t add to your shopping cart becuse of that are exclusive retailer items. To view the prices of such items, you need a dealer/professional account. This must be released by us in advance, on the basis of your trade license. You can only benefit from the advantages after the account has been approved.

Will items be saved in my shopping cart?
As a rule, the articles are only stored in the shopping cart for a limited time (up to 15 days). However, please note that certain browser functions may have an influence on the stored data. Wildcat does not take any responsibility for the lost information of an abandoned shopping cart, we therefore recommend that you complete your order as soon as the shopping cart contains all of your desired items.
