Ear Lobe

If you’d like tandem piercings (both done simultaneously by two piercers), please book for a Wednesday or Thursday and contact us before we can schedule two piercers.

Ear lobe piercings are among the easiest and most comfortable piercings. They’re typically low in pain and heal quickly with minimal fuss if taken care of correctly. While we usually pierce both lobes as a pair, you can get just one or create a custom combination that suits your style!

The higher up the lobe you go, the longer the healing process may take due to nearby cartilage and reduced circulation. You’re always welcome to drop by the studio or book a free consultation—our team can help you find the safest and best placement for your ear lobe piercings.

We also offer higher gauge (thicker) lobe piercings, which are just as easy to heal. We can usually start with sizes up to 6mm without issues. We highly recommend offering a free consultation to discuss options for a higher gauge.

We’re proud to offer ear lobe piercings for children and anyone who can provide informed consent. Our professional team is experienced in creating a calm, welcoming environment to ensure the experience is safe, respectful, and stress-free.
