Children’s Piercing
Piercing for kids.
We understand, when it’s your first piercing, the nerves are especially bad. But our licensed Nurses are trained to provide a safe, fun, and celebratory piercing experience for our tiny guests.
FAQ
All your piercing questions answered. For more, contact us.
-
We pierce babies over the age of 2 months. For piercings on children under 5 years old, we require one DTaP vaccine, which is administered at 2 months old.
-
In select locations, we can perform cartilage piercings on children of 12 years of age or older. Please see your local piercing location to ensure we have that offering available.
-
For minors under 18, a parent or guardian is required to be present for the piercing. We will not ask for the child’s ID, but we will ask for the parent/guardian’s ID.
-
We do not use a piercing gun! Rowan nurses use a hand-pressurized instrument. This uses the pressure (and complete control) of a Rowan nurse's hand to safely guide, place, and pierce! This instrument holds a sterilized single-use cartridge containing the sterile starter stud earrings that pierce the ear. Unlike piercing guns, which use spring loaded mechanisms to forcefully pierce, a hand-pressurized instrument allows for a gentle and direct control with each and every piercing.
