Process
​
-
Nurse practitioner performed piercings.
-
Piercings are performed in a private clinic room.
-
Informed consent is reviewed to outline risks and side effects.
-
Aftercare plan is reviewed and provided to you.
-
Breastfeeding is encouraged during the appointment.
​
-
FDA-approved piercing gun licensed for use by medical professionals only.
-
Nothing touches the ear - only the earring.
-
The earring, backing and clamp are sterile, factory-sealed and single-use.
-
The backing is sealed so nothing is exposed to poke you behind the ear.
-
The backing only goes "so far" on the earring post, so nothing becomes embedded - a great safety feature.
​
-
Both ears are pierced at the appointment, however, we only pierce one ear at a time to ensure accurate placement.
Implant - Grade Earrings
​
-
We only pierce with implant-grade plastic or titanium earrings designed with Swarovski crystals and pearls.
-
The plastic is 100% hypoallergenic. The titanium is 98% hypoallergenic.
-
We assess which earring type is best suited for you based on your skin-type and family history.
-
We CANNOT pierce using your earrings!
Aftercare

-
Our simple aftercare instructions are sent home with you and reviewed in detail during the consultation.
-
