Ear piercing with THOMAS SABO: How it works:

1. The earlobes are thoroughly cleaned on both sides with the alcohol swab. Allow the alcohol cleanser to work for 30 seconds and dry.
2. The instrument is pushed through. The closure is positioned automatically. This guarantees sufficient distance between the earlobe and the clasp.
3. The pressure is released from the instrument and it is then carefully removed downwards.
4. The THOMAS SABO sales advisor will be happy to give you tips on the correct care of your new pierced ears. From 24 hours after ear piercing, you should regularly apply a care product twice a day.

QUESTIONS ABOUT EAR PIERCING? WE HAVE THE ANSWERS:

• At what age can ear piercings be performed?

There is no minimum age for ear piercing. The decision to pierce children's ears is at the discretion of their parents or guardians. However, we recommend waiting until at least their 4th birthday. Parents/legal guardians must provide a written declaration of consent for minors. For children under the age of 16, they must be present during the ear piercing.

• Does ear piercing hurt?

THOMAS SABO uses branded devices that pierce ear holes almost painlessly within a few seconds. At most, you will feel a brief pinch.

• How do I look after new pierced ears properly?

Your THOMAS SABO sales advisor will give you care instructions after the ear piercing, in which everything is explained in detail. We ask you to follow the instructions so that the healing process runs smoothly. After having your ears pierced, make sure you look after them regularly - at least twice a day. Wear the initial studs for at least six weeks without taking them out.

IN THE BEST HANDS:

• Internationally leading brand

THOMAS SABO uses the ear piercing system from brand manufacturer STUDEX. Over 100 million ear holes have already been pierced worldwide with the precision instruments from STUDEX - a sign of trust and quality.

• Trained specialists

Only trained sales consultants who have completed a special STUDEX training programme are allowed to pierce ears at THOMAS SABO.

WHICH PARTS OF THE EAR ARE ELIGIBLE?

THOMAS SABO offers ear piercing in the earlobe. Multiple ear piercings per ear are also popular, e.g. for combinations of two to three ear studs in the earlobe. Your THOMAS SABO sales advisor will be happy to assist you in selecting the earrings after removing the medical ear studs.

HOW DOES THOMAS SABO PIERCE THE EAR HOLES?

• Fast, gentle and barely noticeable

The STUDEX system used by THOMAS SABO is very gentle thanks to its patented technology and thin studs.

• Particularly quiet on the ear

The handling of this system is almost noiseless, so that even children are not frightened.

• Sterile application

Thanks to the use of sterile cartridges, THOMAS SABO sales advisors do not touch the ear stud or the clasp during the piercing process. The device itself also never comes into direct contact with the ear.

• Optimum healing

The automatically correct positioning of the clasp on the stud allows sufficient air to reach the ear hole and, like the narrow stitch channel, contributes to optimum healing.

• Hypoallergenic earrings

We do not use THOMAS SABO ear jewellery for ear piercing, but special medical ear studs from STUDEX made from surgical steel and real gold. They fulfil the EU REACH regulation. They are hypoallergenic and skin-friendly and therefore ideal for avoiding allergic reactions.

• Stylish ear jewellery after the healing phase

After the healing phase with wearing the medical ear studs, you can finally choose your favourite earrings at THOMAS SABO. Whether discreet studs or eye-catching earrings - THOMAS SABO offers you a large selection of high-quality, handmade jewellery made from 925 sterling silver.

TIME FOR EARRINGS!

You are welcome to make an appointment for ear piercing at your THOMAS SABO store. However, this is usually only necessary during peak times around public holidays or if you would like to have a child's ears pierced. This means you don't have to wait in the store and the THOMAS SABO sales advisors can allow enough time for the appointment in advance.
