An earlobe piercing is a piercing through the soft, malleable tissue of the lower ear. All other ear piercings go through the cartilage (more dense) tissue of the ear. We offer earlobe piercings starting at age 5 and up. Helixes are offered starting at age 13. Industrials are offered only to those 18 and over and do require an anatomy check prior to piercing. All other cartilage is offered starting at age 16. For small children we do recommend bringing them into the store for a consult before scheduling an appointment. It is very common for a young child to tell their parents they want their ears pierced, but once faced with the reality, their nerves get the better of them and they become too scared to go through with it. Bringing them in for a consult ahead of time can help to avoid this because the child can be familiarized with the process, the studio, and the staff to make them more comfortable and make sure they are sure they want their ears pierced.

After being pierced, your piercer will inform you that after a certain amount of time it is recommended that you downsize the length of jewelry in your new piercing. We pierce with jewelry that is a bit longer than you would normally wear in the piercing once it is healed. This is to accommodate for any potential swelling that may occur. Downsizing the jewelry at the appropriate time is vital to the successful healing of your piercing.

It is common for piercings to become irritated for a variety of reasons and some of the symptoms of irritation can cause concern for clients. We offer troubleshooting consultations with our piercers to attempt to determine the cause of the irritation or issue with the piercing and offer potential solutions.
