For many children, getting their first ear piercing is a very special occasion. It is a small step with great significance—which is precisely why it should be done calmly, with experience, and using the right method.

**Gentle pricking method instead of shooting**

In our studio, ear piercings are not done with a gun, but with a sterile piercing instrument.

Why is this important?

- More precise placement
- Gentler on tissue
- Less pressure on the ear
- Better healing

When shooting, the tissue is "displaced" by the pressure. With professional piercing, on the other hand, a clean piercing channel is created – this is much gentler on children's sensitive ears.

**Is your child really ready?**

It is important that the child wants this themselves. When a child is ready, most of them remain calm—and the appointment is relaxed and pleasant for everyone.

We take our time, explain each step in a child-friendly way, and ensure a calm atmosphere.

**Experience makes the difference**

Your first ear piercing should be done by an experienced professional.

Joy, our experienced piercer, has over 27 years of expertise and knows exactly how to sensitively guide a child and pierce their ears safely for the first time. Calmness, patience, and precision are always paramount.

**Many beautiful stud earrings for first-time wearers**

There are many beautiful and child-friendly stud earrings to choose from for first use:

- Sparkling crystals
- Simple spheres
- Playful designs
(e.g., a soccer ball, unicorn, dolphin, flamingo, etc.)

**Important information for parents**

A parent or guardian must be present when piercing the ear. Together, we will ensure that this moment becomes a positive memory for your child.
