Children's Piercing (Ages 8+)
A message to parents & guardians
We are proud to offer a safe environment for your kids to get their ears pierced. This is a super exiting experience for everyone involved, we need parents to help us by remaining calm and supportive. Kids ear piercing can be a breeze, however we need parents to understand the following.
We kindly ask that you do not tell your kids that piercing will not hurt, because this is simply not true. Piercings can be spicy.
Autonomy plays a huge role in the piercing room. Receiving the piercings is their choice, and their choice alone. We will not begin the process unless they tell us it is okay to do so and we will not pierce them until they tell us it is okay to do so. Even if this includes piercing one ear and not the other. We can always try again another day. It is their body, and their choice.
It is normal for kids to get nervous before and during a piercing, and this is ok. We offer patience and support through this and allow kids to go at their own pace. During the process we will clean and mark for piercing, prep the skin, pierce one ear, and then the other ear. We can try each step a maximum of three times, then we can try another day. If they tell us they don't want to get their piercings that day, we understand.
If the child tells us that that they have decided that they don't want piercings at any point, we will discontinue the service immediately. Please understand that cancellation fees will apply for the time reserved for the appointment and the single use supplies used.
We will not tolerate harsh or demeaning words, bribery, or restraint while we are doing piercings.
For ages 8-11 we book 45 minute time slots, this allows time for jewelry selection, paperwork, set up, and piercing - with a bit of extra time for breaks if needed. We cannot go over the allowed time for the service. If you wish to reserve extra time for the service please contact us.
Please keep in mind:
Piercings cannot be submerged in unclean water for at least 8 weeks.
Jewelry should not be removed for sports, etc. until the piercings are fully healed.
