Piercing Systems and Prices
We are a fully disposable studio, meaning we pierce only with either the disposable cartridge piercing system or disposable needle. We don't use piercing guns since they cannot be sterilized or disposed of and can cause more trauma to the ear than necessary.
We only pierce with our own earrings due to our sterile environment.
The price depends on what piercing system you use, metal, size, and stones. Please see below for the prices ranges of both options!
Option 1
Cartridge Piercing
Our medical piercing device, preferred by the American Medical Association, provides a safe and precise ear piercing experience. Unlike traditional spring-loaded piercing guns, which cannot be fully sterilized, our system uses prepackaged, sterilized, disposable cartridges to ensure maximum hygiene. The device is manually operated with gentle hand pressure, allowing for a more controlled and comfortable piercing process.
The procedure takes only a few seconds, with the option to pierce one ear at a time or both simultaneously for individuals aged 4 and up, as long as they can remain still.
Earring Options:
- Stainless Steel: $55 Single or $95 Pair
- Titanium: $55 Single or $95 Pair
- 14k Gold: $95-$100 Single or $150-$175 Pair
- 14k Gold 3 point Diamond: $125 Single or $195 Pair
- 14k Gold 5 point Diamond: $165 Single or $300 Pair
- 14k Gold 8 point Diamond: $250 Single or $475 Pair
Option 2
Needle Piercing
Our needle piercing method, preferred by the Association of Professional Piercers, is just as precise as our medical piercing device but slightly quicker.
We use a disposable hollow catheter needle, which passes through the ear, leaving a plastic catheter in place. The back of the earring is then inserted, the catheter is gently removed, and the jewelry is secured—either by snapping on the front for flat-back studs or closing the hoop for seamless earrings.
The process takes about a minute per ear and is performed one at a time. We primarily use flat-back studs or seamless hoops for these piercings. For flat-back piercings, we use a longer post to accommodate swelling, and once the piercing has healed, you have the option to return for a post downsizing if desired.
With a cartridge the piercing, insertion of the stud and back are all carried out in a split second whereas with a needle piercing all 3 stages are done separately.
Earring Options:
- Titanium: $90-$125 Single
- 14k Gold: $150-$250 Single
- 14k Gold Diamonds: $200-$1,300 Single
