Do you pierce babies’ and children’s ears?

Yes. Our ear piercings start from babies aged four months old. For babies and children we use two professional piercers, so both ears can be pierced at the same time. This makes the experience quicker, calmer and more comfortable for your little one.

Do you use a needle or a gun?

Ear lobes are pierced using a specially designed gun, the nose using a specifically designed nose piercing system, and every other piercing using a hollow needle. All of Erdal Mehmet’s piercings are carried out freehand; most piercers use clamps.

How do I look after a new piercing?

Bathe the piercing twice daily with our recommended aftercare solution until it has completely healed. For a body piercing, do not cover it, do not touch or turn the jewellery, and do not sleep on it. For a piercing done with our gold gun, twist the earring slightly whilst cleaning and check that the butterfly back sits flush against the post.

How long before I can go swimming?

Do not go swimming or use a sauna for a minimum of two weeks following the piercing. Showering is preferable within this period.

What should I look for when choosing a piercer?

Visit the shop a few days before having your piercing and check the premises against eleven hygiene and safety questions — among them whether single use needles are used and discarded after each piercing, whether other instruments are kept in an autoclave until needed, and whether the piercer has a clear policy regarding age restrictions and parental consent.
