I use a gentle hand-pressure device, which is different from a traditional spring-loaded piercing gun. Using the pressure of my palm, the earring is placed in one controlled motion, so the piercing and earring placement happen all in one step.
This method can be especially helpful for clients who may have difficulty sitting still or feel nervous around needles. There are no springs or loud popping sounds.
Each earring comes in its own sterile, single-use cartridge, and the device itself never touches the skin.

For initial piercings, I use only the sterile starter earrings provided by Earloom Co. Each earring comes in its own sealed, single-use cartridge designed for the piercing system.
Once your piercings are ready for a jewelry change, I can also guide you on appropriate materials, styles, and fit.
-
Aftercare is simple. Clean the front and back of the piercing twice daily with the recommended aftercare spray and allow the area to air-dry.
Detailed aftercare instructions are reviewed during your appointment, and I’m available if questions come up during the healing process.
-
For the first 24 hours, avoid swimming or submerging the piercing. After that, pools are generally okay, but rinse the area afterward and continue your regular aftercare.
During healing, try to minimize pressure, snagging, and unnecessary touching of the earrings. Keep the initial earrings in continuously, and follow the aftercare instructions provided at your appointment.
