About Clinical Piercing
Clinical Piercing founder, Physician Associate, Julie Black-Peart stresses that ear piercing should only be done by a professional, regardless of client age. Piercing is a parent's or personal choice, backed in tradition and history. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends professional piercing be held until a child is mature enough to ask for and take care of new piercings. No matter the age, Julie takes the process seriously, always putting client safety, health and comfort first, to provide a more satisfying experience than at the mall. The piercing process always follows standard aseptic techniques for infection control, cleanliness and maintenance of the sterile, piercing earrings.
​
We use the Blomdahl Medical Ear-Piercing system. Available only through licensed medical providers. Their encapsulated cartridge assures earrings are never touched. Earrings are adorned with high-quality European crystals, manufactured under strict sterile conditions; and made of ASTM F-136 implant grade titanium, or 100% medical grade plastic, making the jewelry nickel free, and appropriate for persons with metal allergies and sensitivities.

​Earlobes Only - NO Body Piercing
Cartilage and other body piercings have increased risk of infection, extended healing time and potential damage to tissue.

PIERCING MINORS
IMPORTANT NOTICE
We prefer to pierce infants at least 4 months old, and after the second DTaP vaccine is given. Exceptions to this policy may be made at our discretion.
​
- Children must sit still during the procedure to help ensure proper and safe piercing placement.
- We reserve the right to cancel piercing if it is believed that circumstances are unsafe, due to a child’s inability to cooperate, or if the process is prolonged and affecting other scheduled clients.
​
IF A CLIENT REFUSES PIERCING
- If a client refuses to go through with piercing after an earring package is opened, the earring must be paid for: $24 + tax each. Opened earring packages are no longer sterile and are discarded for safety reasons.
- There is no charge if a client changes their mind after arriving for an appointment. However, we ask that you be sure you are ready for piercing, so not to take an appointment slot that could have been available.

Numbing Cream
For an extra layer of comfort
​
Overall, numbing cream is not recommended for infants. For children and adults, please obtain a prescription for numbing cream (EMLA) from your provider, or ask about 4% lidocaine cream OTC. One hour before the appointment, apply cream to front & back of earlobe(s), cover both sides with a bandage. You may then cover the lobe(s) with plastic wrap, to help the medication soak in.
