BABY EARS Q & A
YOU'RE READY TO GET BABY'S EARS PIERCED AND YOU PROBABLY HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS.
WE'D LOVE TO HELP YOU DECIDE IF THIS IS RIGHT FOR YOUR FAMILY.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Q: DO YOU USE A PIERCING GUN?
A: ABSOLUTELY NOT!
NO PROFESSIONAL STUDIO USES PIERCING GUNS FOR ANY PROFESSIONAL PIERCINGS. WE'VE SEEN AN INCREASE IN BOX STORES, SWAP MEETS, AND PEDI OFFICES OFFERING PIERCING GUN PIERCINGS. WE ADVISE AGAINST THIS.
Q: DO YOU USE A PIERCING NEEDLE?
A: WE KNOW THAT CAN SOUND A LITTLE SCARY.
THE ANSWER IS, YES.
WE USE THE HIGHEST STANDARD PROFESSIONAL PIERCING NEEDLES FOR OUR CLIENTS COMFORT NO MATTER HOW YOUNG OR OLD.
OUR PIERCING NEEDLES ARE PROFESSIONAL, SINGLE USE ONLY AND PERMANENTLY DISPOSED OF AFTER EACH PIERCING IN A MOUNTED MEDICAL SHARPS CONTAINER MUCH LIKE YOU'D EXPECT TO SEE AT YOUR DR'S OFFICE.
OUR PIERCING NEEDLES COME WITH A TRI-BEVEL, LAZER CUT PRECISION THAT IS NECESSARY FOR OPTIMAL HEALING.
YOUR PIERCER MAY ALSO USE A CANNULA PIERCING NEEDLE FOR BABY'S COMFORT.
THIS WOULD ALLOW THE EARRING TO REMAIN ATTACHED FOR FASTEST INSERTION.
Q: WHAT IF MY BABY MOVES?
A: IT'S OKAY! BABIES DO MOVE.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT BEST WAY FOR YOU TO HOLD BABY IN PERSON. WE WANT THIS TO BE AS FAST AND EASY AS POSSIBLE. YOUR PIERCER WILL BE READY FOR ANYTHING.
Q: WHAT IF MY BABY STARTS CRYING?
A: THIS CAN AND DOES HAPPEN.
BRING ANY ITEMS FROM HOME THAT COMFORT BABY. FAVORITE PACIFIER, FAVORITE PLUSHY, FAVORITE SOUNDS ON TABLET/PHONE, OR EVEN FAVORITE PERSON :)
ANYTHING THAT WILL COMFORT BABY TO MAKE THE TRANSITION FROM 1 EAR TO 2 EARS AS SIMPLE AS CAN BE IS BEST FOR US TOO.
Q: WHAT IF I START CRYING?
A: IT'S OKAY
WE KNOW IT'S HARD TO SEE BABY CRY.
BOTH LEYLA AND JENN ARE ALSO MAMAS THEMSELVES. YOU MAY HAVE BEEN REFERRED TO ONE OF THEM.
CHANCES ARE IF YOU START CRYING THEY WILL TEAR UP TOO. WE'LL HAVE KLEENEX ON HAND ;)
Q: WHAT'S BEST FOR HEALING 14K GOLD OR TITANIUM?
A: BOTH 14K GOLD AND TITANIUM ARE EXCELLENT CHOICES FOR INITIAL PIERCING JEWELRY.
FEEL GOOD KNOWING WE ARE USING THE HIGHEST IMPLANT GRADE SAFE METALS FOR YOUR BABY'S EARS.
WE CARRY A STANDARD 14K SOLID GOLD CZ OPTION AS A STARTER STUD. GOLD HAS A HIGHER PRICE POINT THAN TITANIUM. WE DECIDED TO CARRY BOTH FOR STARTER STUDS SO OUR CLIENTS HAVE OPTIONS THAT ARE RIGHT FOR THEM.
TYPICAL HEALING TIME IS 6-8 WEEKS FOR EAR LOBES. YOU'LL BE ABLE TO START CHANGING TO YOUR OWN STUDS SOON.
