Distances from South-west of Montreal, measured

Piercing near South-west of Montreal · Questions · Distances

From South-west of Montreal we are 18.1 kilometers away and downtown Montreal is 9.0. Both are straight-line distances measured from the same two points, and this one is not in our favor.

The two distances, measured

From South-west of Montreal Distance
Piercings & Co., Laval 18.1 km
Downtown Montreal 9.0 km

So downtown is closer to you than we are. We are not going to pretend otherwise, and distance is not our argument.

What these numbers are not is a driving time. We have not measured a single route, bridge or parking situation, so we do not publish one. A straight-line distance can be checked on a map. An invented driving time cannot be checked anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why give a straight-line distance instead of a driving time?

Because that is what we actually measured. A driving time depends on the hour, the bridge and the season, and nobody can check it afterwards. A straight-line distance can be checked on any map in ten seconds.

Is it worth the trip from South-west of Montreal?

For a first set of lobes, honestly not. Use a studio near you that pierces with a needle. For cartilage it can be, because that is where technique, placement and jewelry decide the outcome.

How many times will I make the trip?

Two, normally. One for the piercing, one some weeks later to shorten the jewelry once the swelling has gone. That second visit takes five minutes and it is free.

What if I cannot get back for the second visit?

Tell us at the appointment and we will fit the shortest starting bar your swelling will allow, which reduces how much the downsize matters. It does not remove the need for it. A bar left long for months levers the piercing off its angle, and that is one of the two commonest causes of a piercing that never settles.

Is there parking?

Yes, the studio is inside CF Carrefour Laval and the profile lists on-site parking. What we will not tell you is how long it takes to get there or which entrance to use, because we have not measured either.

Can I just turn up?

Walk-ins are welcome during mall hours. From this distance we would call (450) 682 1777 first, because a studio with one person piercing can be with somebody else when you arrive, and because we can tell you on the phone whether what you want suits your anatomy.

Does the distance change what I should have done?

It changes the aftercare plan more than the placement. A lobe heals in about three months, cartilage in six to twelve, and living far away makes the follow-up visit something to diarize rather than drift back for. It does not rule any placement out.

Where did these distances come from?

Coordinates from OpenStreetMap for the town and for Ville-Marie, and our own address from the studio's records, measured great-circle. You can check either one on a map. Nothing here is estimated or recalled.
