We cannot pierce any infants outside of these age ranges. If you need jewelry for an infant outside of these age ranges please contact us, so that we can make sure that your appointment is booked with a piercer who works with infants.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The jewelry we use is a flat back titanium piece made here in California with the best materials we can get; the front has a brilliant 3 mm Swarovski stone. The piercing and the jewelry together start at $208, with upgrades all the way up to diamonds and gold available for an additional cost.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When coming in we recommend that the infant be a little hungry, as feeding right after the procedure is very soothing.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will also need to bring something to swaddle them.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please dress the child in a way that would either be easily removable or you don\u2019t mind staining; we use iodine to clean the piercing site prior to piercing, and it will stain clothing if it gets on it at all.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the time of the procedure we ask that there be at least two adults present with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">no other children.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Parents will be involved in the piercing procedure and will not be able to give their attention to additional children, you will need to be focused.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The healing time for earlobe piercings is typically 8-12 weeks, however with infant ear piercings we would want to extend that period by a few weeks to give the piercings the best chance to heal properly.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know that infant piercing is often an important milestone and often clients ask about using heirloom or gifted jewelry for their infants;\u00a0 however due to state law we cannot use outside jewelry, so we will not be able to use anything that you bring with you, a jewelry purchase will need to be made during your appointment.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0We also recommend that clients are VERY selective about which types and styles of jewelry that you choose. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should only use high quality body safe jewelry. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Materials should be suitable for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">long term wear inside the body<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and should not contain metals like nickel, silver (even sterling silver tarnishes!) or plastic. White gold jewelry is often colored white using nickel; you should only purchase white gold that is colored white using palladium instead if you are sensitive to nickel.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-69c1b83 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"69c1b83\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Before Your Appointment<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d78f4e1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d78f4e1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are more than 5 minutes late to your appointment we will be unable to see you.

Don\u2019t wear white if you are getting a piercing that has a tendency to spot bleed, like genital piercings or nipple piercings.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think about what jewelry you might like to see in your piercing; we have a massive selection, with thousands and thousands of different pieces, and new ones coming in all the time!
