Kids' Ear Piercings
Getting your little one's ears pierced should be a safe and fun experience!
Ages 5 and up only. At these ages they generally have developed the maturity to walk confidently through the process and care for their new piercings responsibly. However, every child is different and the age at which they become ready can vary greatly. We insist on letting them make that decision.
Please note: Piercing guns may seem to be a quick, easy, and convenient way of creating holes, but they actually have major drawbacks in terms of sterility, tissue damage, and inappropriate jewelry design.*
Here's what we offer: the right way, the first time.
We use sterile single-use piercing needles. This is the cleanest and most gentle way to pierce ears. There are many factors that go into a successful ear piercing. Angle, depth, and accuracy are a few of the technical factors that we take into account. To ensure that the piercings are done correctly and skillfully the first time, we pierce ears tandem and always have more than one piercer available.
