  • What is medical ear piercing?
    Medial ear piercing is ear lobe piercing performed by a medical professional using a piercing instrument loaded with a single use, disposable cartridge. In the one-time use disposable cartridge there are sterile, hypoallergenic, pure medical titanium or medical plastic earrings. This ensures the least possible risk of transmitting any blood borne pathogen in a safe and hygienic manner.

  • When is the earliest I can pierce my infant?
    This is really a difficult question to answer. In some cultures parents makes the decision to pierce their infants within days of being born and in others they wait until their child decides for themselves. I personally believe that if you want to pierce your child's ears then the earlier the better. Infants tolerate the procedure very well and by the time they are crawling/walking their piercings are healed. If you want to pierce your toddler, you just have to make sure they understand what is happening and that they can sit for the process. Keep in mind with school aged children, you have to take other things into consideration. Sports and other after school activities may warrant the child remove their earrings and this may cause problems during the healing process. All in all everyone is different and I will be here to help you make the best decision for you and your little one.
  • Where do you travel?
    I travel out about a 20 mile radius from Rockaway, NJ. If you're unsure just reach out to me with your zip code and I will let you know!
  • Can I use my own earrings?
    No, you can not. Medical ear piercing uses cartridges that are preloaded with the medical grade, sterile, and hypoallergenic piercing earrings. These stay in for 6-8 weeks, then you can use your own earrings.
  • How do I care for my new piercing?
    You will clean the new piercing twice a day, everyday, for 6-8 weeks using sterile saline. The piercing earrings are to stay in for 6-8 weeks. Then, you will remove them and replace them with good quality earrings. You are to wear earrings everyday 24/7 for at least a year to ensure that piercing stays permanent.
  • I think my new piercing is infected, what do I do?
    If you see any redness, swelling, pus, blood, or the area is warm to the touch- send me a photo and call me right away. I will then asses your symptoms and guide you on what to do next.
  • Do you have any earring recommendations?
    I recommend wearing hypoallergenic earrings for the first year after getting pierced. Here are a few of my favorite sites: www.blomdahlusa.com / www.tinilux.com
