Ear Piercing information

Experience a premium, luxury ear piercing service tailored entirely to your personal style. We specialize
in precision ear curation using safe, modern techniques to give you a beautiful, healthy piercing that
lasts.

Service Packaging & Pricing


Our piercing fees are based entirely on the total number of piercings you receive during your visit, giving
you the complete freedom to mix and match placements across one or both ears:


Single Piercing ($25): One single piercing in total, placed anywhere on the ear from our available
options.


Double Piercing ($35): Two piercings in total. You can get your first and second lobes, a lobe and a
helix, or split them up with one piercing on each ear.


Triple Piercing ($45): Three piercings in total, distributed across your ears however you choose.


Four Piercings (Special Exception): We will perform a maximum of four piercings in a single
session only if they are all standard lobe piercings. For four piercings, customers are required to
purchase and strictly follow our studio aftercare regimen.


Note: Piercing service fees do not include the cost of jewelry. Jewelry is selected and purchased
separately during your appointment.


Available Placements & Placements We Do Not Offer


We offer a wide variety of beautiful ear placements. Please note that several advanced placements are
anatomy-dependent—our piercers will need to evaluate your ear shape in person to ensure it can heal
safely, and we highly advise calling ahead to check if our Master Piercer is on duty for these specific
services.


Standard Placements: Lobe, Helix, Midi, Flat, and Custom Constellations.
Anatomy-Dependent Placements (Requires inspection / Master Piercer advised): Rook, Conch,
Tragus, and Forward Helix.


Placements We Do NOT Offer: Nose, Belly Button, Snug, Daith, Anti-Tragus, or Industrial piercings.
If you are curious about a specific placement not listed here, please feel free to call the studio to confirm!
 

Why We Only Use Hollow Needles (Never Piercing Guns)


Your health and safety are paramount. We perform all piercings exclusively with sterile, single-use hollow
needles. Unlike piercing guns—which use blunt force to jam a sharp earring through your tissue—hollow
needles cleanly remove a tiny pathway for the jewelry.


Minimal Tissue Damage: Guns cause severe blunt trauma and shattering to ear cartilage, which
leads to intense swelling and prolonged healing. Needles create a precise, smooth channel.
100% Sterile: Piercing guns are made of plastic and cannot be placed into a high-temperature
medical autoclave to be sterilized between clients. Our hollow needles are entirely sterile, single-use,
and safely disposed of immediately.


High-Quality Curation Jewelry


To ensure your new piercing heals beautifully without irritation, we only carry premium, studio-verified
materials. We carry over 25+ unique jewelry styles to choose from, starting at $15 and up depending on
the style.


Endless Personalization: We sell all of our earrings individually rather than in pairs, allowing you to
curate and personalize every single pocket of your ear independently.


Medical-Grade Titanium: Completely hypoallergenic and entirely free of nickel. If you have sensitive
skin or past metal allergies, this is the absolute best and safest option for you.


Solid Gold: Beautiful, luxury pieces built for long-term wear.


Tarnish-Free: Both our titanium and solid gold options are completely tarnish-free and water-safe.
Titanium pieces are available in both a sleek silver/titanium color and a brilliant gold-colored finish.
Ear Piercing FAQ & Aftercare


What does aftercare involve and what does it cost?


Every client leaves with a detailed physical aftercare sheet. We carry our recommended premium,
sterile saline spray in the studio for $16. It is absolutely critical that you follow the provided instruction
sheet exactly and do not deviate from it unless directly advised by our staff.


Why do I need to come back after 6 weeks for a "Downsize"?


When you are first pierced, we intentionally use a longer jewelry post to safely accommodate initial
swelling. Once that initial swelling subsides—around the 6-week mark—it is incredibly important to
return to the shop so we can swap the long post out for a shorter, flush post.


It's Completely Free: Downsizing services are entirely complementary for our clients!
What happens if I skip it? Leaving the long post in too long allows the jewelry to shift, snag, and
tilt. This causes friction bumps (irritation bumps), crooked healing angles, and caught hair.
 

How long will it take for my piercing to completely heal?


True deep-tissue healing takes time, and frames vary significantly by location. While a standard lobe
piercing generally takes about 6 to 8 weeks to stabilize, cartilage piercings like a helix can take up to a
full year to heal completely. Please be patient with your body!


What should I do if I suspect an infection or have an issue?


If you notice unusual redness, severe swelling, or discharge, please reach out to us first before
panicking. In the vast majority of cases, what looks like an infection is actually just severe irritation that
we can easily help you solve. Give us a call or stop by for a quick, in-person follow-up evaluation.
Why does my piercing still hurt the day after getting it done?


Don't worry, this is completely normal! A piercing is a brand-new minor wound. It is common to
experience a dull ache, throbbing, slight swelling, and tenderness for the first few days as your body
activates its natural healing response.


Can I go swimming with a fresh piercing?


To prevent exposing your healing channel to harsh chemicals and dangerous bacteria, you must
completely avoid lakes until the piercing is fully healed. For pools and ocean water, you must wait a
minimum of two weeks before submerging your ears, and we highly recommend cleaning the area with
your sterile saline spray immediately afterward.
