10 Months and Under

We offer piercings as early as one week of age and generally recommend either piercing before 6 months or waiting until the child asks for it and is ready for aftercare.

Appointments typically last between 15-30 minutes. During the appointment, we’ll review earring options, go over aftercare, and mark the piercing placement before starting.

Important Information:

  • For anyone under 18, a parent or legal guardian must be present. Friends or relatives are not able to bring a minor without their parent or legal guardian also present at the appointment

  • We only pierce with our own earrings to ensure sterilization. For more details on our piercing systems and earring options, please visit our Prices and Piercing Systems page.

  • For infants, we pierce one ear at a time, as they cannot confirm they will remain completely still for simultaneous piercing.

  • Minors may be accompanied by up to two adult guests.

  • Due to space limitations, strollers are not allowed in the studio, but we provide car seat stands.

  • Please arrive on time, as we cannot accommodate late arrivals beyond your scheduled time.

  • A 24-hour notice is required for cancellations.

  • Ensure your baby is well-fed, has a clean diaper, and is dressed in comfortable clothing.

  • If you wish to change the piercing placement after approving it, this must be done before leaving the room. Any changes afterward will require the purchase of new earrings for re-piercing.

  • If you or your child are feeling unwell, please reschedule your appointment.

Numbing

For anyone 17 years and under If you’d like to use the numbing cream, you’ll need verbal approval from your pediatrician, as some may not recommend it due to potential reactions or allergies. Without this approval, we can’t apply the cream. The numbing cream we use is 5% topical lidocaine.

We typically offer partial numbing for babies and toddlers, which helps take the edge off but there will still be a small pinch.

  • Partial Numbing: Come at your scheduled appointment time, let the piercer know you’ve gotten approval, and we’ll apply the cream while you choose your earrings and go over aftercare. The ears will be partially numb, so there will still be a slight pinch.
  • Full numbing: You’ll need to arrive 20 minutes before your appointment to apply the cream. It’s important that the cream stays on for the full 20 minutes without being rubbed off, which can be difficult for some children at this age. If the cream rubs off, we’ll need to remove it entirely, as it should only be applied to the ears

Same-Day Cancellation or Rescheduling Policy:

We have a 24-hour cancellation and rescheduling policy. If you cancel, reschedule, or do not show up on the day of your appointment, a $25 deposit will be required for your next booking. This deposit will go toward the cost of your piercing but will be forfeited if you cancel within 24 hours or do not show up.
