Piercing Studs
Medical-grade materials:
For ages 2 months & up choose from pure medical-grade materials the FDA has approved for use INSIDE the body, making them the safest choice for those with allergy concerns.

Medical-grade titanium is an implant grade metal safe for use inside the body. 

Medical-grade plastic earrings have 0% latex, nickel or BPA, are super light weight, and great for anyone who wants to avoid the use of metal for the initial piercing. 

Metals that are NOT used or recommended for new piercings: gold plated, gold filled, gold vermeil or sterling silver.  

Babies are pierced with the Blomdahl medical ear piercing system that is only available through medical practitioners.
 

Placement
Aesthetic balance

Proper placement is key to not only a beautiful piercing, but one that stands the test of time. This is where experience matters. After piercing thousands of ears, Rachel Smith has honed her skill set striving for aesthetic perfection in balance while providing a highly personalized service.   
Disposable Materials

Piercing

Sterile and disposable
 

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

Jewelry for needle piercings (ages 6 & up):
-14k/18k gold
-medical-grade titanium

How to get the best results

Rachel Smith, RN will review your aftercare instructions in detail during your appointment. 
 
Piercing studs are worn for 6-8 weeks for ear lobe piercings (minimum 3 months for cartilage), cleaned with saline spray, soap and water, and are not rotated. As a result of this "no touch" approach, we see extremely low infection rates.
