If you have no sensitivity to Emla, a numbing cream, you may arrive 20 minutes before your piercing appointment to apply it.
After the piercing, the piercer will clean and disinfect the pierced area to remove any remaining cream and prevent bacteria buildup.

From the age of 16 and up.
Piercings for anyone under 16 are allowed only with the consent of a parent or legal guardian.

Quote from the law:

“In a business that, in whole or in part, performs body piercings for the purpose of wearing jewelry, no person shall pierce the body of a minor under the age of 16, other than in the earlobes, unless consent has been given by one of the minor’s parents or legal guardian.”

Of course!
If you’re planning to get another piercing in the future — or several — we recommend doing them all at once so your ear can heal together and you can avoid repeated healing periods.
Of course, this recommendation depends on the placement and should be discussed with the piercer on-site, as long as it’s on the same ear (after all, you’ll need one ear free to sleep on :).
