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 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).

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 lobes for at least 6 weeks and at least 12 weeks for helix (cartilage)

I offer ear piercings primarily at my studio called The Radiance Lounge, located in downtown Prior Lake. I will also do concierge (house calls) about once a month and sprinkle in a few pop-ups around the south metro!
