Is
ear piercing with the Inverness system safe?
YES! The Inverness Ear Piercing System is 100% safe.
The earrings are sterilized and stored in capsules,
not even the point of the earring is exposed until it
is safely inserted into the ear. All Inverness piercing
earrings are either Nickel-free or hypo-allergenic,
which significantly reduces the risk of allergic reaction.

Doesn't
ear piercing hurt?
The Inverness Ear Piercing System is fast and very
gentle. Most people feel no discomfort during the piercing.

Will
I be able to leave the earrings out without the hole
closing?
Some people assume earrings can be removed and easily
re-inserted; this is not the case. You should only switch
into new earrings after the healing period, which is
6 weeks for an earlobe piercing and 12 weeks for a cartilage
piercing.

Is
it safe to pierce infants and children?
YES. Inverness does recommend, however, that babies
have a current D.P.T. shot. This first D.P.T. shot is
usually administered by a pediatrician at 6 weeks of
age.

Can
the Inverness System be used for body piercing?
No, absolutely not. The Inverness Ear Piercing System
is designed to safely pierce only the earlobe and the
outer cartilage portion of the ear. The system should
never be used to pierce any other body parts.

How long does it take for
an ear piercing to heal?
Inverness recommends that the piercing earrings are
left in for 6 weeks after an earlobe piercing and 12
weeks for cartilage.

How is the cartilage different
from the earlobe?
Cartilage is the translucent, elastic tissue located
in the upper portion of the ear. Think of the cartilage
area as two separate sections - the skin covering the
cartilage and the cartilage itself. Cartilage differs
from the earlobe primarily in that it has a limited
blood supply.

Is a cartilage piercing as gentle
as a lobe piercing?
Yes. Cartilage ear piercing with the Inverness System
is just as gentle as a lobe piercing.
