Ear Piercing Frequently Asked Questions:

How many studs do I have to choose from?

More then 50 earring options are available! 

Does it hurt?

Prior to ear piercing a topical numbing agent is applied to minimize discomfort. 

Do you pierce both ears at the same time?

Yes, regardless of age.

How old do you have to be?

For guests under the age of 18 years a parent or guardian must sign a consent form. 

Do you pierce babies?

Yes.  We have no restrictions on the age of the infant.  The ear lobes must be be the size of 1/2 a dime so the butterfly backing is not visible from the front.  An adult must be willing to assist in holding the infant, some mothers find it easier not to be present during the piercing.

Is piercing safe?

We only use pre-sterilized, pre-packaged earrings.  We NEVER use needles. The piercing instruments are cleaned before and after each guest so it is safe and hygienic.

 How much will it cost?

Ear piercing costs $20 plus the cost of studs.  Those range between $10-$35 per pair.  The after piercing antiseptic is $7.50.  For guests having one piercing, the cost is $20 for the piercing plus the cost of a single stud ranging from $5-$17.50.

Can I bring in my own earrings and have you put them in?

No. We only pierce with studs purchased at our studio.  You will be able to enjoy your earrings in four to six weeks time.

EAR PIERCING AFTER CARE

1. Cleanse the earlobes at least twice a day (morning & night), WITHOUT REMOVING THE EARRINGS. Dab a saturated Q-tip on the front and back with ear care antiseptic (available at insparations). DO NOT USE "Rubbing Alcohol" as this may dry or crack the skin.

2. After cleansing the earlobe, rotate the earrings (like winding a watch) two or three times.

3. As much as possible keep shampoo and hair spray away from the earlobe.  After shampooing, the earlobe should be thoroughly rinsed with clear water, then repeat Step 1.
 

4. The trainings stud should NOT be removed for four-six weeks.

     Note:  Some type of post earrings should be worn for at least the first six months.

5. To remove the training studs: If backing clasp is tight, it can be spread using pliers or tweezers. Hold backing clasp firmly and twist the earring as you pull away from the ear lobe.

 WARNING:  Should prolonged redness, irritation, itching or soreness occur in the area of the piercing consult your physician.
