Earring Choices
Choice
We offer a wide selection of earring colors, shapes, sizes and styles.
Sterile
We use the Studex 75 System. This system has individual sterile cartridges containing hypoallergenic studs and clasps. The cartridges are placed using a non touch technique into the piercing instrument. Studs, clasps and piercing instrument do not touch the ears during the process.
Comfort
Virtually pain-free - quieter, sharper and slimmer than previous types, they are a good choice for children’s ears.
We can usually pierce both ears at the same time.
Who is suitable?
We can pierce any age - including baby ear piercing.
For babies we use a special stud with a shorter post on it. We have pierced babies ears from as little as three days old. Many cultures have piercings from a young age. We find babies seldom have more than a few seconds cry from the event. Please call ahead to check staff who can deal with babies are available at the time you choose.
People who have no active skin infections or eczema.
People who have no contagious disease.
People over 16 years of age, or younger if there is parent or guardian consent.

We will provide you with written information on how to care for your new piercing.
We have a selection of suitable earrings to wear after your first earrings are able to be removed.
Pricing:
Earrings and piercing starts at $27 - a few dollars more for more expensive choices of earrings.
Price includes antiseptic solution.
Nose Piercing
We use a separate piercing system for this. It is a gun based system or a needle piercing.
The best option for the piercing of the nose is to use a needle. The needle causes less damage to the cartilage so the piercing will heal faster, and the hole created is slimmer.
For those who still choose to proceed with the gun piercing, we are happy to do this, provided the person is over 18 years of age, or at 16 years providing the system can fit the nose and you have a parent with you.
Warning: Cartilage is slower to heal, until 18 years of age the nose has not finished growing and the cartilage is not fully formed. At any age a needle piercing is the best option.
