A Parent's Guide to Piercing

Many of us cannot remember our first ear piercing. Were we too young to realize it, or did we decide it was a memory we'd rather forget. Your child's first piercing should be a memorable moment, and quite often it's a chance to bond. 

         Getting a first piercing can be an exciting experience for any child. From finding jewelry and finding your favorite jewelry to showing off your new style to friends and family.

Before diving into the jewelry showcases, it's important to research your chosen studio! Making sure they only use needles and not piercing guns, transport only materials suitable for implants, use disposable equipment, autoclave on site with records and a valid and positive opinion from the health department. 

All of this can be found here at Pierced!

 We will need to see government issued ID for both the child and the guardian. Medical records are great!

Have a snack

Your child will have to eat within three hours of the scheduled time.

Happy and enthusiastic mood!

If at some point the child no longer wants to continue the appointment, or if your child does not feel ready the day you arrive, rescheduling the appointment should be easy. 

Any deposits made will not be lost and can simply be rolled over to a later date.
