Why do you say “gentle”?

Most people report they feel no discomfort at all when pierced with the Inverness System. Here’s why:

1. Unlike loud piercing guns that shoot a spring-loaded piercing earring through the tissue, our hand-pressured instrument is smooth and quiet.

2. Our system will pierce your ears and attach our exclusive Safety Back™ in one quick, smooth motion.

3. Our piercing earrings are specially-designed with ultra-thin piercing posts & a finely honed piercing tip to help the earrings glide through the lobe as easily as possible.

Is there a risk associated with the sharp tip of the piercing earring?

To provide you with as comfortable an ear piercing experience as possible, all Inverness piercing earrings are carefully crafted with a sharp tip. For your protection, each earring comes with our exclusive Safety Back™, designed to cover the sharp piercing tip. We recommend checking that your Safety Back is securely in place daily, ideally after cleaning your piercing and before bed.

How long does it take for an ear piercing to heal?

The average healing time is 6 weeks for an earlobe piercing and 12 weeks for a cartilage piercing. We recommend leaving your piercing earrings in and following your aftercare instructions for the entire healing period.

Do you have any ear piercing tips for babies & small children?

Consider selecting a location that is able to provide a Children service which means two associates to are available to pierce your child’s ears simultaneously.

The Inverness System is ideal for babies because it is extremely fast and quiet. Simultaneous piercings make the process even easier for children and their parents.
