At Happy Pierced, ear piercing costs vary depending on the style of piercing and the choice of jewelry. Prices start at $45 and up, ensuring high-quality service. Jewelry is included as part of the piercing. Keep in mind, if you book a piercing party you can save on each piercing for you and your friends. For specific pricing, we recommend contacting us directly.

To clean your ear piercings, gently wash the area with a saline solution or soap-free cleanser twice a day. Avoid touching or twisting the jewelry unnecessarily, and ensure hands are clean before any contact with the piercing. Please ask us for our aftercare instructions.

If you suspect an infection, increase cleaning to three times a day with a saline solution and consult a professional piercer or healthcare provider for advice. Do not remove the jewelry as it may cause the hole to close and trap the infection.

We strongly advise against self-piercing due to the high risk of infection and improper placement. Professional piercers have the necessary experience, equipment, and environment to ensure safety and precision.

It’s recommended to wait until the piercing has fully healed—6-8 weeks for lobes and at least 3-6 months for cartilage—before changing the jewelry. Early changes can cause irritation or infection. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us directly.

It’s best to avoid swimming for at least 24-48 hours after getting pierced and ideally until the piercing is fully healed to prevent infection from bacteria in the water.

Ear piercing is generally quick and causes minimal discomfort. Most people feel a brief pinch at the moment of piercing, followed by slight soreness or tenderness afterward. Hollow needle piercings will be less painful that when getting your ears pierced with a gun because of the less impact.

Pricing for ear piercing at Claire’s can vary by location and the type of jewelry chosen. They often offer promotions that include free piercing with the purchase of starter jewelry. For the most accurate pricing, contacting a local Claire’s store is recommended but keep in mind that most locations use a piercing gun which we recommend avoiding at all costs.

At Happy Pierced, we offer ear piercing services for infants, typically starting at a few months old. We ensure a safe and gentle process, but it’s always best to consult with your pediatrician before proceeding with infant piercings if you have any concerns.
