Ear Piercing

We do have a minimum age of 3 for all for lobe piercings. In addition to the age, the recipient must be able to sit still and not pull away for piercing/placement dots. We use piercing/placement dots to view the exact placement of the earrings prior to piercing. The piecing/placement dots are marker locations and are pain free. If your child cannot sit still during this process, we will kindly ask that you come back another day. Our piercing team prides themselves on a tear free environment. We ask that your child not be crying prior to piercing. This ensures they have a wonderful memory of this special day. 

We offer dual piercers,
meaning the piercing is done simultaneously by two piercers when requested.

Minors will need a parent or legal guardians present to sign TFH’s Piercing Registration Form. If you are under 18 years of age, a parent/legal guardian must be present.

In some cases, we may need to see identification to confirm your age. We accept the following forms of identification: Driver’s License, Passport, Proof of Age ID Card. Legal guardians may need to present proof of guardianship.

We offer lobe and cartilage piercing.

Ear Piercing is always free with the purchase of an Ear Piercing Kit, which starts at $99.

It is best to keep your new ear piercing free from soap, perfumes and hair products, and take care when brushing your hair, exercising, playing sports, talking on your phone, sleeping or wearing headphones.

A new piercing is exciting, and we know you will want to try new styles soon. It is, however, important to give your ears time to heal before changing your ear piercing so they can heal properly.
