EAR PIERCING

Clean, safe, and stylish—ear piercing is a quick procedure, but proper preparation and awareness of skin conditions help ensure safe and successful healing.

Before your appointment, please review the following:

  • Eat a light meal before your visit to prevent lightheadedness.

  • Stay well-hydrated, especially for children or clients prone to fainting.

  • Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning supplements or medications (aspirin, fish oil, vitamin E) for 24 hours prior unless prescribed by a physician.

  • Make sure your ears are clean and free from infections, cuts, or irritation.

  • Do not apply creams, oils, or makeup to the earlobes the day of your appointment.

  • Tie back long hair and avoid heavy accessories around the ears.

  • For children, please discuss the process with them beforehand and ensure they are emotionally ready and calm.

 

⚠️ Contraindications & Considerations

  • If you have a personal or family history of keloid scarring, please let us know prior to your appointment. Keloids are raised scars that may develop after skin trauma and can be a risk with any piercing.

  • We do not recommend piercing skin that has active eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, or open wounds in the area.

  • Let us know if you have sensitive skin, metal allergies, or require hypoallergenic jewelry options (such as surgical stainless steel, titanium, or 14k gold).

  • If you are currently ill, on antibiotics, or under a medical treatment that impacts healing or immunity, please consider rescheduling for your safety.

 

Following these pre-care guidelines and communicating any medical concerns ensures a safe and smooth piercing experience. If you have questions before your appointment, feel free to contact us—we’re happy to help!
