Ear Piercing Techniques
Baby Ear Piercing · San Jose, CA
At Baby Ear Piercing, ear piercing services are performed using one of three safe, quick, and proficient techniques, provided aseptically:
By hand
With a holder
With a needle
Several safety-based factors are carefully considered when determining the most appropriate ear piercing technique for each guest.
Not all ear piercing techniques found online are suitable for every individual or situation. Likewise, not all piercers or studios are the right fit for every guest.
We frequently see guests reference articles or advice that simply do not apply to their age, anatomy, jewelry choice, or specific needs.
How Your Ear Piercing Technique Is Chosen
At Baby Ear Piercing, the earrings selected for the service often determine the appropriate piercing technique, just as much as the individual receiving the service.
Unless a specific technique is requested and discussed in advance, the technique used is not typically disclosed, as it is professionally chosen based on multiple safety factors.
Ear piercing technique options may be discussed and pre-requested well in advance — preferably before scheduling your appointment.
Safety, Sterility & Professional Standards
The ear piercing professionals at Baby Ear Piercing are skilled in both classic and modern piercing techniques.
All services are performed aseptically.Every item used for each ear piercing procedure is:
Sterile processed
Single-use
Individually packaged
New, disposable, and non-reusable
🚫 Personal earrings or jewelry may not be used under any circumstances.
Why We Do Not Use Reusable Ear Piercing Guns
Many guests ask about the use of registered medical ear piercing devices, commonly referred to as reusable ear piercing guns.
Reusable devices are not used at Baby Ear Piercing.
Reusable ear piercing guns:
Are not sterile
Cannot be autoclaved
Contain plastic components
Are wiped down between uses, not sterilized
Can contribute to cross-contamination
Even when single-use sterile components or earrings are attached to a reusable gun, contamination can occur the moment they contact the non-sterile device or during handling of the ear.
For this reason, all equipment used at Baby Ear Piercing is single-use and disposable, ensuring the highest safety standards for every guest.
Earring Placement & Simultaneous Piercing
Can Both Ears Be Pierced at the Same Time?
No.
Proper ear piercing placement requires alignment, harmony, control, and communication between the piercer and the guest — and often the parent or guardian as well.
To ensure:
Accurate placement
Guest comfort
Safe control
A calm, focused environment
Ears are never pierced simultaneously.
Attempting to pierce both ears at the same time introduces unnecessary risk, disrupts alignment, flow, and precision.
Are Numbing Creams Used? Never.
