Professional ear piercing at your local pharmacy, by a trained specialist in a clean clinical setting. Sterile single-use equipment, hypoallergenic studs, and proper aftercare advice — for adults and children alike.
Ear piercing is a small procedure, but it is still a procedure — it breaks the skin, and the main things that go wrong afterwards are infection and reactions to the metal. Where you have it done matters more than people assume.
Here it is carried out by a trained specialist in a clinical setting, with sterile single-use equipment and hypoallergenic studs. And if something does flare up in the weeks afterwards, you can walk back in and speak to a pharmacist about it rather than trying to work out whether it needs attention.
The price includes the piercing, your studs and aftercare advice.
Prices vary depending on the studs you choose and whether you are having one or both ears done. Call us on 020 8460 0377 and we will confirm before you book.
Book online or call us. The appointment takes about ten minutes. If you are bringing a child, allow a little longer.
Pick from our hypoallergenic range. We will mark the position and check you are happy with it before anything happens.
Quick and over in seconds. You will leave with written aftercare instructions and a cleaning solution.
Lobes usually settle within six to eight weeks. Getting the first few weeks right is what makes the difference.
Use the solution we give you, morning and evening, for the first six weeks. Wash your hands first.
Keep the original studs in for at least six weeks — taking them out early lets the channel start closing.
A gentle turn while cleaning stops the stud sticking as it heals. Don't fiddle with them the rest of the time.
Tie long hair back for the first few weeks, and keep hairspray, shampoo and make-up away from the site.
No pools, hot tubs or open water for the first two weeks — they are the most common source of infection.
Some redness and tenderness is normal early on. Spreading redness, swelling, heat or discharge is not — pop in and speak to a pharmacist.
We pierce from 6 months. For children, a parent or guardian needs to be present and to give consent. If you are unsure whether your child is ready, give us a call and we will talk it through.
There's a sharp pinch that's over almost immediately, then a warm throbbing for a short while afterwards. Most children are surprised by how quickly it passes.
Earlobes usually heal in around six to eight weeks with good aftercare. Keep the original studs in for that whole period.
Yes — most people have both done in the same appointment. Let us know when you book so we can allow the time.
Call us before booking and we will confirm what we can offer. Cartilage takes considerably longer to heal than a lobe and needs a different approach.
Our studs are hypoallergenic, which suits most people with metal sensitivities. If you have reacted badly to jewellery before, mention it when you book.
