EAR PIERCING WITH THOMAS SABO

In the best of hands

For ear piercing, we do not use THOMAS SABO ear jewellery but special, medical ear studs from STUDEX who are the global piercing leader and largest manufacturer of ear piercing. Over 100 million ear piercings have been performed using STUDEX precision instruments worldwide, signaling trust and quality. 

STUDEX ear studs are made from surgical steel and real gold, and comply with the EU Reach Regulation. They are hypoallergenic and skin-friendly to prevent allergic reactions.

Only trained sales associates who have completed the required training program are authorised to pierce ears at THOMAS SABO.
 

QUESTIONS ABOUT EAR PIERCING AT THOMAS SABO:

Which parts of the ear can be pierced?

THOMAS SABO offers lobe piercings only. We can do multiple lobe piercings, such as two to three ear studs on the earlobe using STUDEX ear studs for the initial piercing/s. 

How are the ears pierced? 

1. The earlobe/s are cleaned thoroughly on both sides with an alcohol swab. The alcohol is left to act and dry for 30 seconds. 

2. The position of the piercing is marked with a non-toxic pen.

3. The piercing device is cleaned with alcohol and a sterile cartridge containing the stud and clasp is inserted to the device. Thanks to the sterile cartridge, the piercer never touches the stud or clasp and the device itself never comes into direct contact with the ear either.

4. The device is aligned to the position of the mark and the handle is squeezed firmly to pierce the ear almost painlessly within a few seconds. At most, you will feel a brief pinch.

From what age is ear piercing allowed?

There is no minimum age for ear piercing. The decision to pierce children’s ears is at the discretion of the parent/s or guardian/s. However, we recommend waiting at least until the child’s 4th birthday. Parents/guardians must provide written consent in the case of minors. For children under 16, they must be present when the ears are pierced.

How do I care for a new ear piercing?

Redness or swelling may appear shortly after a piercing. Don’t worry, this is a normal reaction. Your THOMAS SABO sales associate will give you care instructions explaining everything in detail. In order for optimal healing, we ask you to follow the instructions carefully. This will involve cleaning your piercing twice a day with a piercing lotion for six weeks and keeping the ear/s dry.

How long until I can remove the medical stud/s and wear other earrings?

After six weeks you will be able to swap your stud/s to your favourite THOMAS SABO earrings and experience unique mix and match styling. Combine different designs for an on-trend ear candy look!

How much does it cost?

The piercing service is complimentary with each ear stud priced at £20.
