Do you only pierce children?

We pierce all ages, from infants to adults, using the same medical-grade earrings and clinical procedure.

​

Will my child be in pain or discomfort after the piercing?

Most babies and children tolerate the piercing well and return to smiling within minutes or before leaving the office. Your baby will likely nap on the way home. You are welcome to stay and feed your child after the appointment. We also have a change area for our little ones so they are comfortable prior to leaving the office. Most older children return to school after the appointment.

​

Can I use my own earrings?

​We cannot use your earrings. The entire process has to be sterile and this includes the jewellery. We also have requirements regarding the size, gauge, post-length and backings to ensure the piercing heals perfectly.

​​​

What if I have sensitive ears?

Many clients with sensitive ears have successful outcomes with our medical implant-grade plastic options. This is discussed during the consultation to ensure that the correct jewellery is chosen for you.

​

How long should my child wear the piercing earrings?
Piercing earrings should be worn for 6 weeks. After this initial period, you may safely change them. We suggest a good quality solid gold or titanium earring. Stay away from artificial, dipped or plated metals as these can cause sensitivity issues or infections.

​​

Do you offer earring changes?
Yes! We offer complimentary earring changes when you purchase earrings from our clinic’s jewellery collection.​​

​

Can my child swim after having their ears pierced?

We advise against swimming in chlorine or salt water pools for 2 weeks and beach water for 6 weeks. While the piercing is healing, we want to limit your piercing's exposure to bacteria

​​​

What if my piercing becomes infected?

Please contact us. We offer 6 months of infection support. Although uncommon, piercing infections can happen and we are here to support you with an assessment and a prescription, if needed. Not only does this reduce long wait times at with your physician or urgent care clinic, nurse practitioners are able to assess, diagnose and prescribe.

​

Do you have experience piercing ears that have been surgically repaired?
Yes! Many plastic surgeons refer their clients to us for repiercing after surgical repair. We take the time to carefully assess the incision lines, scar tissue, and ear structure to ensure safe, precise placement for the best possible outcome.

​

Do you fix mall shop piercings?

Although we like to refer back to their piercer, we understand that this may not be possible. If your piercer is unable to correct your piercing, please contact the office and we will do our best to assist.

​

Is Oakville your only office location?

Yes, we only operate out of our clinic in Oakville.

​

Do you offer home visits?

For your child’s safety, all piercings are performed in our clinic. A controlled medical environment allows us to keep things sterile. We have positioned seating and optimal lighting. These things are crucial to ensure a successful piercing outcome.
