FAQ’s
We pierce from 10 years with parent or guardian consent.
Clean your new piercing 2-3 times a day with the provided aftercare solution, gently rotate the earring half a turn, keep the area dry, avoid touching with unwashed hands, keep hair products and shampoo away (rinsing after washing), try to sleep on the opposite side, thoroughly clean and dry the piercing after swimming or exercise, and never push the butterfly back toward the ear – always keep it at the tip of the post.
From 6 weeks for ear lobes and 12 weeks for cartilage.
We use premium 9ct gold and white gold earrings for all initial piercings.
Gold is naturally hypoallergenic and exceptionally well tolerated by the skin, reducing the risk of irritation or allergic reaction. It also offers a refined, elegant finish – in keeping with the luxury standards of our Richmond Hill clinic.
We carefully select earrings for both purity and aesthetic quality.
This is one of the most common questions clients ask.
Traditional piercing guns use mechanical force to push a blunt stud through the ear. While widely used in retail settings, they can cause increased tissue trauma due to the pressure-based mechanism.
At our Richmond Hill clinic, we use the Studex System 75, which is neither a traditional gun nor a freehand needle. Instead, it uses a sterile, single-use cartridge system that delivers:
- Controlled, precise placement
- Minimal pressure on the tissue
- A quieter, less intimidating experience
- Hypoallergenic, medical-grade earrings
A hollow needle piercing, typically performed in specialist studios, can also be a safe option when done by experienced practitioners. However, for standard lobe piercings – particularly for children – the Studex System 75 offers an excellent balance of medical hygiene, precision and comfort.
Yes, as long as there are two practitioners free at the same time.
For children especially, we can perform simultaneous piercings to ensure symmetry and reduce overall stress. Our trained practitioners prioritise precise placement and calm reassurance throughout the process.
We always take time to mark and confirm positioning before proceeding.
Standard lobe piercings typically take around 6-8 weeks to heal fully.
We provide detailed aftercare guidance to support smooth healing and minimise the risk of irritation. Because we use hypoallergenic 9ct gold and a low-trauma technique, healing is generally straightforward when aftercare instructions are followed carefully
With the Studex System 75, discomfort is minimal and extremely brief.
Because the system is designed to apply gentle, controlled pressure rather than blunt force, most clients describe it as a quick pinch lasting only seconds. The quieter mechanism also helps reduce anxiety, particularly for children.
Our team prioritises a calm, reassuring and professional environment throughout.
