What Do You Use to Pierce Ears?
For my ear piercing I use Studex Ear Piercing System, which is a hand-held, spring-action instrument used to insert sterile, pre-loaded hypoallergenic earrings into the earlobe quickly and safely.​
I Choose Hygiene
Your safety is always my priority so when it comes to your ear piercing, cleanliness is extremely important.​
Before and after every ear piercing, my piercing instrument is wiped over with cleansing wipes.
Each pair of earrings arrives individually packaged, sterilised and sealed. ​
Within the sterile earring packets are 2 plastic inserts which are placed on end of the piercing instrument, so your ear never touches the piercing instrument. These plastic inserts are single use only and are disposed of after every piercing.
​​
The Studex Piercing system was created in the mid-1970s to be sterile as the piercer never has to touch the piercing jewellery at any stage during loading of the instrument and piercing your ears, helping to maintain the highest standards of hygiene throughout the treatment.
​

It's a very important decision, choosing where to have your ears pierced. ​
​​

​Just because you have your new earrings, doesn't mean your care finishes there.
​I'll talk you through how to look after your new earrings, provide your aftercare advice and happily answer any questions you may have before, during or after your ear piercing.
When your ready to change your earrings, the piercing earrings aren't always the easiest to remove. I can also help you change your earrings to your favourite pair after the 6 weeks healing period.
​If you have any other questions regardless of how small the question, I'm only ever a phone call or message away.​

Most Importantly Aftercare Advice
Looking after your newly pierced ears is very important and easy, but must become part of your daily routine:
-
Your piercing earrings need to stay in for 6 weeks before changing them.
-
Turn them a couple of times, left and right, every morning and every night.
-
Avoid touching them unnecessarily.
-
Apply your Piercing Cleaning solution, provided at your appointment, twice a day.
-
Always wash your hands before starting the cleaning process.
-
Avoid swimming or activities that may cause you to perspire, this can increase the risk of infection.
-
Once you've finished in the bath or shower run a small amount of clean, soap free water over your ears to prevent a soap build up and reduce the risk of infection.

Choosing the right time to have your ears pierced is important because you know you keep up with your aftercare to help your ears heal beautifully and lower the changes of an infection.
