What ages do you pierce?

-Babies ages 2 months-18 months

-Children 6 years & up

-Teens

-Adults.

Why don't you usually pierce between the ages of 19 months-6 years old? Toddlers and very young children around the ages of 4 & 5 will almost always try to resist the piercing making it extremely challenging to mark the ears and do a safe, accurate piercing. Additionally, caring for piercings on very young children can prove to be very challenging. Over the years I have consistently heard parents tell me how much their little one wants her ears pierced, only for the child to refuse the piercing during the appointment. After a decade of piercing children, I have found that across the board most children are fully ready for piercing at around age 8, with a small minority of children ready at an earlier age. My goal as a piercer is to make sure the client has a safe and seamless piercing experience.

On occasion I will make (age) exceptions but only AFTER having a phone or in-person consult with the parent.
