Three months of age and older . It is recommended that your child has at least received their first DTap/TDap vaccination prior to piercing.

Neither, because both are scary! Our piercing earrings are gently inserted with a hand pressured medi-system device that does NOT involve any spring-action nor loud noises.
What is the expected healing time?
Initial healing takes about 6 weeks for a lobe piercing and 12 weeks for a cartilage piercing. Only after the initial healing time , it is safe to change out with a different pair of earrings. Complete healing can take up to an entire year.
Can I provide my own earrings for the appointment?
Unfortunately not. It is prohibited by the health department.
Is it painful?
Piercing of the ears may cause discomfort, or paint. That’s why we offer topical anesthetic (numbing) cream prior to the piercing to help reduce any pain or discomfort.
Can I go swimming after getting my ears pierced?
It is not recommended to swim in a chlorinated swimming pool for the duration of the initial healing process. Stay away from rivers and lakes for the entire initial healing period; fresh water bacteria is harmful and can cause a serious infection.
