Flat Piercing

Service Description, Heal Times, Photos & More...

Flat piercings are typically located on the flat upper cartilage area of the ear, and may be performed as a single (1), a pair (2), and up to sets of multiples (3) in one sitting. Placement varies depending on anatomy. These piercings are typically performed with studs with extra room to accommodate swelling, initially, for healing purposes and usually cannot be swapped to hoops. Unless you are a dedicated back sleeper, we suggest on only getting cartilage piercings on one ear at a time. Healing typically takes between 6-12+ months, and can vary from person to person. ❤ No submerging the piercings in bodies of water for at least 3 months after the piercing. ❤ Please do not sleep on your piercing for at least half the healing time to lessen the risk of migration & irritation (using a travel pillow while sleeping can help lessen this risk!) ❤ Checkup and/or downsizing extra length of the initial jewelry is highly recommended around 6-8 weeks to lessen the likelihood of migration, and irritation bumps. ❤ Checkups on piercings performed by our studio are always free ❤ The cost of downsizing is free, with the purchase of jewelry ($20 per post) - see your aftercare brochure for a discount on your first downsize! We use only APP Verified implant grade titanium, niobium, and/or solid 14k gold jewelry that comes with a lifetime warranty on manufacturing. (Loss is not covered) PLEASE NOTE: The listed service price does NOT include jewelry. Basic titanium jewelry for this piercing starts at $50 per piece & goes up from there. Price of jewelry varies depending on what you choose, & will be verified prior to your piercing. To see jewelry options, visit the "Shop" section of our website.
