Good to know

How much does a professional ear piercing cost?
Service fees for standard earlobe piercings typically range from $30 to $60, while cartilage piercings (helix, tragus, conch) cost $40 to $80. High-quality starter jewelry, such as threadless titanium studs, adds $20 to $60 per ear.

How long do earlobe and cartilage piercings take to heal?
Standard earlobe piercings take 6 to 8 weeks to heal sufficiently before you can swap initial earrings. Cartilage piercings require 6 to 12 months of consistent aftercare due to lower blood circulation in upper ear tissue.

What identification is required for minors getting ear piercings?
State regulations require a parent or legal guardian present with a photo ID, the minor's photo ID or birth certificate, and a signed consent form. Minimum age limits vary by state and individual shop policy, typically starting at 5 to 13 years old for lobes.
