Ear Piercing for Kids
Getting a new piercing is exciting! We’re honored to take part in this celebration and tradition. Rest assured we’ll take the utmost care in creating a safe, comfortable experience.
The Right Time
We pierce earlobes for children ages five and older who demonstrate they understand the responsibility and commitment required for healing their new piercings. We only pierce children with their willing consent.
What to Expect
We do not pierce with outside jewelry. We use jewelry sized specifically for each client; you’re able to choose from a wide array of implant-grade titanium (ASTM F-136), 14k and 18k solid gold, and niobium earrings. All of our jewelry is designed for comfort while healing without sacrificing aesthetics, value or craftsmanship. We know you and your child will find something you’ll love!
We sterilize jewelry and other implements immediately prior to the piercing procedure. We discuss the best placement for your child’s ears using precise measurements. Then it’s time to pierce! Piercings are performed with single-use, disposable needles. While the piercing itself is a seamless, quick process, we never rush — your child’s comfort is our top priority.

Healing a New Piercing
Our piercer will provide both verbal and written aftercare instructions to ensure you and your child understand how to properly care for new piercings.
Earlobe piercings take 3-4 months or longer to heal. During this time, be mindful of sports and other activities that may hinder healing. Your child should not go swimming during the healing period.
Jewelry should be kept in during the entire healing period or the piercings will quickly begin to close.
We take care: it’s our privilege to provide a comfortable, safe and fun piercing experience for your child.
