Ear Piercing in WEST LOOP
by licensed Nurses.

All your piercing questions answered. For more, contact us.

• What makes ear piercing with Rowan safe?
  We put safety first, with ear piercings performed exclusively by a licensed nurse and hypoallergenic earrings made from premium, nickel-free materials. Rowan nurses have extensive experience in creating a stress-free environment, are experts in the use of PPE and maintaining sterility, and always put their clients first. Rowan nurses use a gentle, hand-pressured device with pre-sterilized 14k gold or stainless steel earrings to pierce. Our piercing jewelry has safety backs and long posts to ensure sufficient air flow and optimal healing. We never use piercing guns, which are spring loaded and can damage the ear tissue.
  
  At our brick and mortar studios, we offer piercings with a hollow needle. Both the hand pressurized device and the hollow needle are safe and accurate when in the hands of a trained professional.
• What types of piercings are offered?
  Rowan is all ears. Any ear piercing you want, we’ve got you. At our Rowan Studios, we pierce the entire perimeter of the ear and offer conch and tragus piercings (in select studios).
• What do you pierce with?
  Rowan nurses use a gentle hand-pressured, single-use cartridge to pierce. Piercing earrings are pre-sterilized, and have long posts and safe backings to ensure optimal healing. We never use a piercing gun, as they can damage the ear tissue.
  
  At select studios, we offer piercings with a hollow needle. Hollow needles are the only piercing option for parts of the ear other than the outer perimeter of the ear.
• Do you pierce babies?
  Rowan pierces all ages! For ear piercings we do require one DTaP vaccine for children 5 and under. For minors under 18, a parent or guardian is required to be present for the piercing. To book, visit our website​ for additional details and availability.
  
  We are pediatrician recommended for many reasons! Our earrings are hypoallergenic and nickel-free, which is important because many young children have a sensitivity to nickel.
  
  Moreover, our earrings have been specifically designed with all ages in mind, from young child to advanced aged. For example, our earrings have long posts which give the ear more room to heal post-piercing.
• What should I do to prepare before going into my appointment?
  It’s easy. Just book an appointment, fill out the waiver and we’ll take it from there! You will be able to choose your piercing studs and piercing placement during your appointment. Our Nurses are experts and will help you.
