Babies: The piercing is performed using a medical ear piercing system used exclusively by medical practitioners. Earrings are manufactured in Sweden and prepackaged in sterile cassettes. Anything that comes into direct contact with your skin is one-time use and disposed of after every client, therefore there is no chance of cross-contamination.  We pierce babies with the Blomdahl medical ear piercing system.

Jewelry used with the Blomdahl system:
-medical-grade titanium
-medical-grade plastic


Children, teens & adults: Ages 6 & up can opt for a needle piercing.

Jewelry used with needle piercings:
-14k/18k gold
-medical-grade titanium 

There are ONLY 2 methods of piercing that exist: 
1) Sterile hollow needle method where the needle pierces the ear.
2) Piercing gun or hand clamp where the jewelry itself is the mode of piercing.  For safety reasons, Rachel Smith has chosen to use the Blomdahl system which she has successfully used for nearly a decade.
