Best Piercing Shop for Ear and Nose Piercings (2024)

FAQs

Can you get your ears and nose pierced at the same time? ›

The short answer is yes, you can get more than one piercing in a single sitting.

Common piercing areas, like ear lobes, are low pain because there is no cartilage present. Areas with tougher cartilage like the nose can be a little more painful, but it's over in seconds! Trust us, it's nothing you can't handle!

Lobe is the most popular piercing and the first piercing most people get. As the lobe is the softest part of the ear and doesn't have any cartilage, it's the easiest part to pierce and is the least painful. The standard lobe piercing simply goes through the front to the back of the lobe.

The snug piercing is widely considered to be the most painful ear piercing type. However, some individuals might find the rook or industrial piercing to be the most painful ear piercing option. Pain is relative, meaning everyone's pain tolerance is different.

Claire's can do a variety of ear piercings, including lobe and cartilage, and also offers nose piercing in select markets.

There is no right or wrong side of the nose to get a piercing, it is up to you. A good idea is to pick your best 'selfie side' of your face whether that be the left or right side!

In traditional Chinese medicine, the left side was believed to be the female side, and right the masculine side. Some people use this as a reason to choose their facial piercings on the left side for females or right side for males. However, in modern culture, there really isn't a male or female side.

Culturally, the piercings signified the social status of the individual and their right to access other ceremonies. For women, it displayed their ability to acquire a husband. For the husband, it displayed his ownership and right to his wife. For men, it presented the boy now as a man and his place is society with men.

You may have some blood, swelling, tenderness, or bruising at first. It may be sore, tender, and red for up to 3 weeks. Pierced nostrils heal completely in about 2 to 4 months. A pierced septum heals in about 3 to 4 months.

How much should I expect to pay for a nose piercing? ›

Prices can vary significantly from city to city and even from shop to shop within the same city. On average, you can expect to pay around $30 to $80 for a nose piercing at a tattoo shop. However, prices can range from as low as $20 to as high as $200 or more.

Named for it's location in the ear, a flat piercing is literally positioned in the flat area of cartilage in the upper ear. Whereas the helix or industrial is located in the rim of the ear, a flat earring is located below the rim in what would be considered the flatter portions of the ear anatomy.

Claire's reuses their plastic gun. They just wipe it down with an alcohol swab between uses -- but alcohol is far from sufficient for proper sterilization. This leave you or your child at risk for infection. And a piercing infection can be very serious, even lead to the hospital.

Getting your ears pierced at Claire's is safe, sterile and easy. Our highly trained specialists provide a touch-free piercing experience that uses single-use sterile cartridges and requires no needles. Our equipment is sanitized before and after every customer.

Using a needle to create a piercing is generally considered safer and more precise than using a gun. According to experts, piercing guns have several problems, including tissue damage and scarring, which can affect the final result. Piercing guns are impossible to sterilize, increasing the risk of infection further.

It is not uncommon to have multiple piercings performed on the same day. We recommend not getting more than four piercings in one session, especially if you're getting them on the same ear. Getting multiple piercings can also cause increased swelling during healing and can prolong healing time.

You can get up to 3 piercings per appointment: lower lobe, upper lobe, higher lobe, helix, forward helix and tragus all in one ear or split between both, all in just 20 minutes! Simply select the earrings you would like for your multiple piercings.

There's no "limit" necessarily as to how many piercings you can get at once, but most reputable piercing professionals will probably keep you around three (3) or four (4).

Double nose piercings are flattering on any face shape and if you already have your first one done and healed, you're more than prepared for a second round (it's been suggested that getting them done separately can help make aftercare easier).
