Frequently Asked Questions
At what age will you pierce? There are no age restrictions on ear piercing. I have pierced newborns as young as one week old. I specialize with infants and children and work with thousands of little ones. I get asked often what age is easiest for babies - in my experience that would be between 3~6 months of age. I recommend being over the age of 13 for any cartilage piercing. Any advanced piercings will need extra care and will have extended healing times. All minors MUST be accompanied by a parent / guardian as dictated by Louisiana Law. I will refuse service otherwise. There is paperwork + waivers that must be completed at the time of the appointment once you are in the studio. |
Can I bring my own earrings? No. I use my sterile jewelry. |
What are your prices? Click on the Book Appointment page for all services + pricing. Please read the service descriptions for detailed information. |
Do you take walk-ins? No. |
What metals do you pierce with? 14K / Surgical Stainless Steel Implant Grade Titanium (Ti-6AL-4V-ELI ASTM F136) HypoAllergenic. Durable. High Quality. |
Do you pierce both ears simultaneously? No. Believe it or not there are actually some people who do not understand what this means. To put it simply, I do them one at a time. I will perform one piercing then will continue to the next. This does not mean you do one ear today and come back tomorrow for the next ear. |
Do you use numbing cream? No. |
What do you pierce with? I use a Hollow Needle or a Stud Needle based on customer preference and/or the area I am working on. Both are safe and deliver great results. |
I have had my earlobe repaired. Can your re-pierce it? Yes - Many plastic surgeons in this area send me their patients that need piercing after earlobe repairs from stretching or tearing. I have lots of experience working with these areas. It is very important this piercing is done correctly to avoid future issues. |
Who can I bring to my appointment? Our studios are small. I will allow 1-2 people in addition to the person being pierced. All others will wait in the lobby. Do not bring additional small children that cannot be under direct supervision or I will ask you to reschedule. |
Do you sell earrings? Yes. There are hundreds of styles to pick from in the studio that can be purchased online for shipping or scheduled for in-store pick up. The selection of earrings that I sell online are NOT for piercing. There is a special selection in the studio that you will pick from at time of your appointment. |
