The Piercing Process
1
Consultation
We take time to explain the process and ensure your child feels comfortable. We also recommend popping into the studio before the appointment so children can see the environment and understand what will happen on the day.We keep teddies and comfort items available for children to hold during the piercing, and they are always welcome to bring their own favourite toy.
2
Marking the Placement
We carefully mark both ears so parents and children can approve the position before the piercing.This ensures the placement looks balanced and everyone is happy before we begin.
3
Sterile Piercing
The piercing is performed using sterile, single-use equipment in a professional piercing environment. Lou works calmly and carefully so the process is quick and as comfortable as possible.
4
Aftercare Guidance
We provide clear aftercare advice to help ensure a smooth healing process.You’ll also receive a printed aftercare leaflet to take home, and you're always welcome to contact us if you have any questions during healing.
Children’s Ear Piercing – Frequently Asked Questions
What age can children have their ears pierced?
We offer children’s ear piercing for ages 8 and above. A parent or legal guardian must be present at the appointment, and valid ID is required for both the parent/guardian and the child.
We find this age allows children to better understand the process and participate in caring for their new piercings during healing.
Is it better to use a needle or a piercing gun?
Professional piercers use sterile single-use needles rather than piercing guns. Needles are more precise, cause less tissue trauma, and allow jewellery designed for proper healing to be fitted immediately.
What jewellery is safest for children’s ear piercings?
We recommend jewellery made from implant-grade titanium or solid 14k or 18k gold. These materials are nickel-free and suitable for healing piercings, helping reduce irritation and allergic reactions.
How should we care for new ear piercings
Clean the piercing twice daily using a sterile saline solution. Avoid twisting or removing the jewellery during the healing period, and follow the aftercare advice provided by Lou
How long do ear piercings take to heal?
Most earlobe piercings take around 6–8 weeks to heal, although this can vary slightly from person to person. Jewellery should remain in place during the healing period to allow the piercing to stabilise.
What if there are signs of infection?
If you notice increasing redness, swelling, pain, or unusual discharge, you should seek medical advice. Following proper aftercare and using suitable jewellery significantly reduces the risk of complications.
What if my child changes their mind?
A professional piercer will always respect a child’s decision. Even if a parent has provided consent, the piercing will only go ahead if the child feels comfortable and happy to continue.
Will earrings need to be removed for school or sports?
Some UK schools require earrings to be removed or covered during PE or sports activities. It’s always a good idea to check your school’s policy before booking a piercing appointment.

My daughter had her lobes pierced today at Jynx Body Piercing and the owners were absolutely brilliant. So welcoming, patient and professional. The studio was spotless and the whole experience was calm and positive. She’s buzzing with excitement — thank you so much!☺️
Had my 15 year olds daughters lobes pierced here. And they are the most loveliest people. So friendly and caring, can't recommend them enough.
Thank you so much for making my daughter’s first piercing (and my 12th!) such a lovely experience. She waited so patiently for her 8th birthday, and is so happy with her earrings. The studio is spotless and welcoming, and you were incredible, gaining her trust immediately with your calm and reassuring manner. I would also highly recommend your studio for anyone with neurodivergence, as it’s a calm, welcoming space and you made sure we felt comfortable at all times. Thank you!
What a charming couple and incredibly professional. My daughter could not have been in better hands to have her ears pierced for the first time
5 star treatment. Our daughter had her seconds in her lobes and Lou kept her calm and relaxed as she was a little anxious with it being a needle.The whole process was seamless and we felt very safe in Lou's hands and the informationon on aftercare was easy to follow. I've since been back and added another piercing to my own ear and look forward to going back. Xx
I took both my daughters (age 11 and 13) to have second lobe piercings. We were made to feel very welcome and the appointment felt very calm and professional. There was a great choice of Jewellery and the kids are really pleased with the results. Thanks!
My daughter had her ears pierced after being recommended here by a friend.Lou was friendly and took the time to ensure my daughter was happy with the placement of the piercings before going ahead. The appointment was calm and relaxed.Would happily recommend.
Took my daughter to have her first lobes today and couldn't fault the experience at all. Range of jewellery to suit all budgets and spoke to my daughter about the options and what each part of the process was. Allowed her to gather herself after first one before moving to second. My daughter is so happy. Thank you for making her first experience a super positive one.

Spotless studio, bright and airy. Louise was fantastic with my daughter’s piercing. Specifically chose Jynx for their titanium quality studs and needle piercing which is not available elsewhere locally. Thanks guys.
We did the earring piercing for our daughter and it was a great experience. Very professional, reassuring, supportive and great variety of earrings to choose from that made the experience even better. The shop is clean, neat and beautifully decorated with stylish comfy sofas.
