FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I offer ear piercing for individuals 3 months and older, as long as they have received their first DTaP vaccine.

Yes. Infant ear piercing is available once your baby has received their first DTaP vaccine, which is typically given around 2 months of age.

There is no one “right” age. Some families choose to pierce ears during infancy, while others wait until their child is older and excited to be part of the decision. Both choices are completely okay.

No matter the age, my goal is to make the experience gentle, safe, and meaningful for your family.

I use a gentle hand-pressure device, which is different from traditional spring-loaded piercing guns. With this device, I use the pressure of my palm to carefully guide the earring into the ear, allowing for precise placement.

Each earring comes in its own sterile, single-use capsule. Nothing is ever reused, and the device itself never touches the skin, helping keep the process clean and safe.

Research shows that for both earlobe and cartilage piercings, there is no difference in tissue healing between a hand-pressure device and a needle. The most important factor for healthy healing is proper aftercare.

At this time, needle piercings are not offered. Per Los Angeles County regulations, needle piercing must be performed in a licensed facility.

All piercing earrings are hypoallergenic, nickel-free, and safe for sensitive ears. I offer medical-grade titanium and 14k gold, both carefully selected to promote comfort and healing.

Yes. You’ll be able to choose from a curated collection of hypoallergenic, nickel-free earrings made from medical-grade titanium or 14k gold. During your appointment, I’m happy to help guide you toward the best option.

For your healthy and safety, I can only use my own sterile, medical-grade earrings. Each earring comes in a sealed, single-use capsule to keep the process clean and support healthy healing. Using outside earrings may increase the risk of irritation or infection.

Once healing is complete, you are welcome to switch to earrings of your choice.

Piercings should be cleaned twice daily for six weeks. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided at the time of your appointment to guide you through proper care and healing.

Yes. To help ensure proper healing, piercing earrings should stay in place for at least 6 weeks for earlobe piercings and 12 weeks for cartilage piercings (longer is always better).

It’s also recommended to avoid submerging new piercings in pools for at least 24 hours after the appointment.

At this time, I accept cash payments. Additional payment options will be available soon. Thank you for your understanding.
