Hypoallergenic means that the jewellery is designed to minimise the likelihood of an allergic reaction. All STUDEX earrings are hypoallergenic and nickel-safe, making them a great choice for customers with sensitive ears.

STUDEX piercing systems are designed specifically for professional ear piercing. However, STUDEX does have a system specifically designed for nose piercing. The various STUDEX systems should only be used for the piercing applications specified for each system. Contact us for more details.

Healing time can vary from person to person. A standard earlobe piercing generally takes around 6–8 weeks to heal, while cartilage piercings can take longer, 12-14 weeks. Your qualified piercing technician will also provide you with aftercare guidance.

Yes, STUDEX offers specially designed piercing jewellery for babies and children. When performed by a trained professional using the appropriate STUDEX system and jewellery, the piercing process is designed with hygiene, safety, and comfort in mind. STUDEX does recommend that the child is fully vaccinated and in good health before any piercing is performed.

🤍 STUDEX offers hypoallergenic and nickel-safe jewellery specifically designed with sensitive ears in mind, including surgical stainless steel and 24K gold plated options. We also offer a lifetime warranty on all our earrings.

There isn’t one specific age that applies to every child. STUDEX offers jewellery designed for babies and children, but the decision should be made by a parent or legal guardian based on the child’s comfort and readiness. Your qualified piercing technician can also guide you through the process.

Your piercer will provide you with specific aftercare instructions. It’s important to keep your new piercing clean, avoid touching it unnecessarily and follow the recommended aftercare routine while it heals.

For standard earlobe piercings, we recommend keeping your initial piercing jewellery in for at least 6 weeks while the piercing heals. For cartilage piercings, we recommend keeping your initial piercing jewellery in for at least 12 weeks while the piercing heals. It’s best to make sure the piercing has healed before changing your jewellery. If you’re unsure, check with your qualified piercing technician first.

Yes, multiple piercings may be possible! Your qualified piercing technician will assess your ear and advise on suitable placement, the number of piercings and the appropriate aftercare.

Wash hands thoroughly before touching the jewellery or ear.

Cleanse the front and back of the ear 2 to 3 times a day with your chosen STUDEX Aftercare solution. While cleaning, rotate the jewellery 2 to 3 times, 180 degrees left and 180 degrees right i.e. half a turn only, thus avoiding hair wrapping around the post at the back of the ear. In between cleaning, the ear should be kept dry. Moving the jewellery carefully is important for safe healing. Keep hairspray, soap, shampoo, and other preparations away from the ear.

Do not remove earrings or handle unnecessarily. Do not push the butterfly along the post towards the ear. The butterfly must always be positioned at the tip of the post, exactly where it is straight after the piercing. Feel the position each time you clean the ear – it must feel smooth. This ensures that the ear has sufficient space during the healing period and reduces the risk of swelling or discomfort piercing, allowing air to circulate.

We call the equipment used to pierce the ears and nose an ‘instrument’ rather than a ‘gun’. Our piercing systems are FDA approved medical devices, manufactured to the highest standards in the USA. You can confidently offer or have a safe, gentle and sterile piercing with STUDEX.

If you are pregnant, we recommend speaking with your doctor or healthcare provider first and obtaining their approval before proceeding with the ear piercing.

During pregnancy, your immune system and the body’s natural healing process can be affected, which may increase the risk of infection and result in slower healing. Additionally, some medications or treatments that may be required if complications arise may not be recommended during pregnancy. For your safety and peace of mind, we recommend waiting until after pregnancy before getting a new piercing.

Some mild tenderness and redness can be normal after a new piercing. However, if you experience increasing pain, swelling, warmth, redness, or discharge, it may indicate an infection. Please leave the earrings in the ear and seek medical attention immediately.

In most cases, yes! Your qualified piercing technician will assess your ear first to ensure it’s suitable for re-piercing and advise you on the best option.
