Children's Ear Piercing

 
It's been proven that "piercing guns" cause direct tissue damage. These guns can NEVER be properly sterilized and risk exposing your child to blood and body fluids from the clients before them. In addition to the health and safety hazards the gun creates, the jewelry that comes from these guns is not made of implant grade materials. It is not safe for longterm implantation in the human body nor is it comfortable to wear. If you would like more information on this subject please click here

Black Maple is a fully disposable studio. This means that tools and equipment are never used more than once. There are no piercing guns involved. The jewelry we use will be brand new. Everything is single use and sterilized prior to the service and disposed of directly after.

With safe sterilization practices established, our earrings are really what’s worth raving about. Flat backings allow your child to sleep, play sports, brush their hair, live their dreams without having the bulk or poking that goes along with traditional style earrings.

Anyone over the age 7 is welcome to get pierced at our studio. We believe that getting a piercing is a personal choice and the client receiving a piercing should be able to give written and verbal consent. We will not pierce people that cannot give consent and babies fall into this category.

A Children's Earlobe Piercing Consultation is highly recommended before the piercing appointment if they are nervous. This is not required but based on our experience it makes everyone more comfortable and the space seem more familiar. The consultation is free and allows us to meet each other, establish trust, and go over all of the information clients should know beforehand. During this time we will walk you through the piercing and sterilization process and answer any questions.
