Kids Ear Lobes
Age
We pierce babies as young as 3 months old however tiny ear lobes can shift when growing making earrings uneven as they grow. Meghan prefers 6 months and up if you can wait a little bit longer.
Cost
We only pierce with Implant Grade Titanium *100% nickel mystery metal free cost starts at $80 for balls and gems start at $110 a pair.
Freezing/Numbing Cream
For younger children, we recommend that you use a numbing product like Ebanel You must ensure that you apply this correctly and using their suggestion of Saran Wrap with it so that you seal off the area in order for the cream to work properly. You will apply this one hour before the appointment and we will remove the bandage in the piercing room.
Ready or Not?
Sometimes as much as children want their ears done they are just not ready for the piercing. Meghan has several indicators to determine if your child is ready or not and sometimes she makes the call that its not going to happen today. Examples: Clapping their hands over their ears, not letting her near them, grabbing her etc.
If Meghan feels the child is not ready we will stop the procedure and try again when ready.
Swimming and Wet Hair
Not soaking a newly pierced area in bathtubs, jacuzzis, swimming pools, lakes, rivers, and oceans during the healing period is crucial but we understand that people will eventually swim before the healing period is over or even early on during this time. Please try to refrain from soaks for a minimum of TWO WEEKS and flush with saline upon getting out of water.
Going to bed with WET hair resting on the piercings can cause moisture bumps and prolong the healing process. We recommend wet hair is put up for sleeping or completely dry before.
Deposit
A $20 deposit is required to book ear piercings. Your deposit is NON refundable.
In the event of not being pierced due to choice your deposit is valid to reschedule up to 3 months. If you enter the studio and your child decides they are not ready your deposit will NOT be refunded.
Aftercare
We recommend spraying with Sterile Wound Wash while your childs ears are healing, DO NOT twist, turn or aggressively move your piercings during healing (It is a myth they will heal into their ears) gently turning or moving in the shower to remove crusting and debris is okay. Please discourage touching or playing with during healing.
