All the A’s to your Q’s

  • I use a hand pressure device, which differs from a spring loaded piercing “gun”. With a hand pressure device, I have full control over the piercing at all times and use my hand to gently guide the earring through the ear. All earrings are in their own sterile, single-use capsules. At no point does the instrument touch the skin during the piercing process. Furthermore, current research shows there is NO difference in tissue damage to the ear when piercing with a needle or hand pressure device (when piercing lobes or helix). I have linked the study below for your reference.

  • I offer ear piercings for anyone 2 months of age and older. Infants must have their first DTaP vaccine or a note from their pediatrician approving the piercing

  • Currently, I only pierce along the outside of the ear (think lobes and helix/cartilage)

  • No submerging the piercing in a pool for 24-48 hours or 2 weeks for lakes, rivers, or oceans. Piercing studs must stay in the lobes for at least 6 weeks and at least 12 weeks for the helix (cartilage)

  • I offer ear piercings primarily at my studio called The Radiance Lounge, located in downtown Prior Lake. I will occasionally offer concierge appointments and sprinkle in a few pop-ups throughout the south metro. If you’re interested in booking a private concierge party or a pop-up at your business or event, fill out my contact form!

  • My schedule will be released on or around the 20th of the month prior (for example March schedule will be posted on or around February 20th). I shuffle my studio days around my husband’s travel schedule, and I am so blessed to share the studio space with Laura from Simply You. We both thank you for your patience as we piece together our schedules month after month!

  • Prior Lake is the cutest little town with plenty of things to do! My studio is located within walking distance to local boutiques, bakery, brewery, and ice cream shop. Lakefront is a favorite park nearby and has walking trails along the lake. If you’d like recommendations for specific food, shopping, or activities nearby - I’m happy to share my local favorites!

  • The Radiance Lounge is also home to Simply You, Nurse Aesthetics. Laura Gary is my dear friend who offers aesthetic services including Botox, filler, microneedling, Sculptra, chemical peels, and more! She has been a clinical registered nurse for over 17 years and is currently working towards getting her nurse practitioner license to offer more services in the future. She’s pretty darn amazing at what she does if you ask me - but check her out for yourself! You can learn more about Laura here: simplyyounurse.com
