Kid's Piercing

We understand when it’s your first piercing, nerves can get the better of you. Our certified piercing experts are trained to provide a safe AND celebratory piercing experience for our mini-me's.

The Experience

Treat your child to a VIP Ear Curation Experience. Our piercing experts will help your child choose their perfect earrings, and they will walk away with perfectly placed piercings that will last a lifetime.

Double Piercing Method

We do not provide the double piercing method as we believe it compromises the integrity and accurate placement of the piercing. Your child must be comfortable with needle piercing with one expert.

Kids Twin Lobe Piercing - 7 years and over.

2 Piercings, 1 Child

A refined introduction to fine jewellery and piercing.

For our younger clients, we offer lobe piercings at a special reduced piercing fee of $30 (normally our Deluxe Appointment fee of $80). This includes two piercings (two holes total) and a complimentary follow-up appointment to ensure perfect healing and fit.

Jewellery is charged separately, allowing you to select from our complete collection of 14k solid gold earrings, with prices starting from $160 per earring ($320 per pair).

Aftercare

Our expert piercers will provide you and your child with a copy of our Covetear Aftercare Guide, and NeilMed spray (charged seperately), the gold standard in piercing care.

Follow Up Appointment

We recommend a follow up appointment at 6-8 weeks, at which time we can consider downsizing your child's post. For piercings that are healing as expected - you can book a downsizing appointment, or a complimentary aftercare appointment at anytime for a quick check up and to anser any questions you may have.

Is jewellery included in the kids piercing fee?

No — jewellery is selected separately.

This allows you to choose the perfect pair for your child from our curated collection of 14k solid gold fine jewellery, with prices starting from $160 per earring ($320 per pair). Each piece is crafted to the same standard as our adult range — hypoallergenic, internally threaded, and designed for lasting comfort and beauty.

What jewellery would you recommend for a child's first lobe piercing?

We recommend a threaded stud. Our curators can offer assistance in choosing the right piece.

When can my child change their jewellery?

Our Aftercare and Healing recommendations are the same for children and adults. For lobes, a minimum of 4 months is recommended.

What if my child needs to take their earring out for sport or school before the end of the recommended healing time?

We usually carry sterile Bioplast retainers that are safe to wear for most sports and are almost invisible. However, availability can vary, so please check with the studio first to confirm stock.

We recommend booking a complimentary aftercare appointment where our piercers can assess the healing progress and, if suitable, change the jewellery over to a retainer safely.

Bookings

We are unable to offer Walk-In appointments for children's piercings. Children's piercing services must be booked ahead of time to ensure we can offer the right atmosphere for your child and to allow us to create a fun and memorable experience for you both.

Age Requirements

Your child must be 7 years and above.

Your child must be able to listen and understand what the piercer is saying, follow simple instructions and understand the fact that they are going to be pierced with needles.

They must be able to sit on the bed by themselves (without being held or on someone’s lap).

Identification Requirements

To proceed with ear piercing for children under 16, parents must accompany their child to the piercing appointment and provide valid Photo Identification. Legal Guardians may also provide consent on presentation of a guardianship order/court order together with an ID of the child (birth certificate or passport), to confirm the child’s name is the same child named in the guardianship order. The legal guardian needs to also provide photo ID to confirm that they are the nominated legal guardian named on the guardianship order/court order.
