After you have made your selections, your piercer and their mentor will take you back to the piercing room!
Please note: Not every placement will work with every ear. Regardless of the appointment type you book, your piercing apprentice + mentor will do a full consultation prior to your appointment, and will work with you to determine the best possible placement.
In the piercing room, you’ll take a seat on one of our piercing beds, while your piercer sanitizes their hands and puts on gloves. Your piercer will then reassess your ears and begin to mark your piercing placement(s) with either a white or purple skin-safe marker. You will have the opportunity to look these over in a mirror to confirm you are happy with each placement!
After you approve the placements, your piercer will instruct you to breathe in and out as they perform the piercing. We have plenty of stress-balls on hand for you to squeeze during this portion of the service! After the 16 gauge hollow needle is pierced through your ear, your piercer will use a tool called a taper, to gently guide your jewelry into the hole.
Please note that Apprenticeship Appointments are always monitored by our most experienced piercing operations educators.
While we guarantee quality services, piercing appointments may run longer than the allotted 20-minute appointment.
