KIDS PIERCING

Yes, we do! We pierce children’s ear lobes starting from 6 months, following an in-house anatomy consultation. If the lobes are too small, we may advise waiting to ensure proper placement, which is important for the piercing’s comfort and healing as the child grows.

We can pierce children’s ear lobes from 6 months, pending an in-house anatomy consultation. If the lobes are too small, it can be difficult to place the piercings correctly, which may cause the piercings to move or migrate as the lobes grow. Improper placement can also make the jewellery sit uncomfortably and slow the healing process. If we determine the earlobes are too small, we will advise waiting a little longer.

The actual piercing takes just a couple of seconds! However, it’s best to allow 10-15 minutes for the entire process, including choosing the jewellery, getting comfortable in the clinic, and selecting the correct placement.

We recommend titanium jewellery for initial piercings. It’s a premium-quality metal that’s up to 60% lighter than others, putting less weight on little lobes. Titanium is also hypoallergenic and free of nickel, which promotes faster healing. We have a large variety of options in-store, and our SkinKandy Squad will help you choose the best piece for your child.

Yes! All our piercers undergo specialised training as part of our extensive piercing program, ensuring they are well-equipped to perform children’s lobe piercings. You’ll find highly experienced staff in every SkinKandy store.

We will never force your child to get pierced if they show signs of reluctance. We don’t open the jewellery from the sterile package until we’re ready to proceed, and we’ll always check with your child to ensure they are comfortable and happy to go ahead. If they change their mind before the earrings are opened, no worries at all!
