Question 1

Can I bring my own earrings and have them put in my child’s ears?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, no, we use pre-loaded sterile earrings to ensure the safest piercing possible.

Question 2

How soon can I change the earrings you put in?

Accepted Answer

Six weeks, at which time they must be replaced immediately or the piercing hole could close. There has to be an earring in the ear at all times until the piercing has fully healed, anywhere from 3 to 6 months depending on the person.

Question 3

I see you have both plastic and titanium earrings. Which is better?

Accepted Answer

Plastic earrings are great for people who have a metal sensitivity and can help to shorten the healing time but beyond that both products are of the highest quality and are designed to help the ears to heal with as few complications as possible.

Question 4

What do you do that is so different from having my child’s ears pierced at the mall?

Accepted Answer

First is experience. We have had the same person piercing ears for 16 years now and in comparison the mall staff likely have high school or college aged employees who have had minimal training and experience. The second reason is that we have a fully trained medical staff who understands how germs spread and take every precaution to ensure a safe and clean piercing. It’s important to remember that ear piercing is a medical procedure.

Question 5

At what age do you start to pierce ears?

Accepted Answer

The earliest we will pierce ears is after the first set of immunizations have been administered at the two-month visit. If you do not get immunizations for your infant we will not be able to pierce their ears.

Question 6

I’m worried about placement, how do you make sure the earrings are even?

Accepted Answer

We use a surgical nontoxic pen that leaves a purple dot on the ear. Once the dots have been placed parents are given the opportunity to judge the location and changes are made if needed until the client is happy about the location of the dots. Only then is the piercing done.
