FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I use a gentle hand-pressure device, quite different from the traditional spring-loaded piercing guns you might have seen at the mall! Instead of a spring, I use the steady pressure of my palm to carefully guide the earring into place, allowing for precise and controlled placement.

Each earring comes in its own sterile, single-use capsule, so nothing is ever reused. The device itself never touches the skin, keeping everything clean and safe from start to finish.

Research shows there’s no difference in healing between a hand-pressure device and a needle for ear piercings. What matters most is good aftercare, which I’ll walk you through completely. You can view the research article here.

All of the piercing earrings are hypoallergenic, nickel-free, and safe for even the most sensitive ears. I offer medical-grade titanium and 14k gold, both carefully chosen to keep skin happy and support healthy healing.

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

I offer ear piercing for babies and children 2 months and older, as long as they’ve received their first DTaP vaccine. I also pierce older kids and adults. Everyone is welcome!

Yes, I do! Infant ear piercing is available once your baby has received their first DTaP vaccine, which is typically given around 2 months of age. It’s a beautiful milestone and I’d be honored to be part of it.

Honestly, there’s no one “right” age and that’s completely okay! Some families love piercing during infancy, while others prefer to wait until their child is older and excited to be part of the decision. Whatever feels right for your family is the right choice. No matter the age, my goal is always to make the experience feel gentle, safe, and special.

Absolutely, and it’s one of the fun parts! You’ll get to choose from my curated collection of hypoallergenic, nickel-free earrings in medical-grade titanium or 14k gold. I’m happy to help guide you toward the best option for your little one’s ears.

I totally understand the excitement of picking out something special! For your family’s health and safety, I can only use my sterile, medical-grade earrings. Each one comes in a sealed, single-use capsule to ensure a clean, safe experience. Using outside earrings can increase the risk of irritation or infection, and I want those ears healing beautifully! Once healing is complete, you’re welcome to switch to any earrings you love.

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

Simple and easy! Piercings should be cleaned twice daily for six weeks. I will provide detailed aftercare instructions at the appointment so you’ll feel fully confident caring for those new piercings at home. I’m also always here if you have questions along the way!

Just a few! Piercing earrings should stay in for at least 6 weeks for earlobe piercings and 12 weeks for cartilage piercings. Longer is always better! I also recommend to avoid submerging new piercings in pools for at least 24 hours after the appointment to keep those little ears happy and healing well.
