Ear Piercings for Kids
Getting a piercing is exciting, and safety and technique are non-negotiable. At Helix Piercing, we prioritize cleanliness, precision, and a positive experience for every child. We use only implant-grade titanium and 14-karat gold jewelry, ensuring top quality that’s safe for sensitive skin and backed by a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty.
Determining the Appropriate Age for Piercing
The decision of when to pierce is completely up to each parent or guardian. Cultural, personal, and social beliefs are all respected, and we pierce babies starting at 3 months and up. Our team is here to provide guidance and make the process as smooth as possible for families at any stage.
What the Piercing Feels Like
We describe the sensation as a quick pinch followed by warmth—fast and easy for little ears.
Optional Numbing Cream
For added comfort, numbing cream is available over the counter at pharmacies or from your family doctor.
For best results:
- Apply a thick layer to the front and back of the lobe, cover with Saran Wrap, and reapply if it comes off.
- Apply 30–60 minutes before the appointment so the cream has time to take effect.
- We do recommend the cream over the sticker (as it can often pull hair when being removed).
This simple step can make a noticeable difference for children (and parents!) who feel nervous, and to help ensure the best experience for first timers 🤍
Jewelry Options For Kids
We offer smooth, flat-back jewelry with threadless tops in a rainbow of colors to suit every style preference. These high-end designs are excellent for healing and long-term wear, and the smooth backs are comfortable for sleeping on and easy to clean—unlike traditional butterfly backs.
PReparing Your Child
Talk with your child about what to expect and remind them you’ll be right there the whole time.
Explain that the piercing is quick and encourage them to follow their piercer's guidance. Knowing that it’s simply a quick pinch followed by warmth can make a world of difference.
Aftercare Instructions
Healthy healing starts with consistent care:
- Clean the piercing twice a day with a mild sterile saline solution for the first three weeks, then once a day for the next three weeks. (Available in studio).
- Keep the area clean and dry for the entire healing period.
- Keep wet hair off the piercing during healing to prevent irritation.
- Avoid swimming pools and natural bodies of water until fully healed.
- Do not change the jewelry for at least six weeks to allow the tissue to stabilize.
