Inverness ear piercing system

At Niche Jewellery we use the Inverness ear piercing system, trusted by jewellery stores, pharmacies, medical clinics and piercing professionals around the world for over 45 years.

This system is designed to provide a safe, gentle and hygienic ear piercing experience.

Unlike traditional piercing guns, Inverness earrings are stored in fully enclosed sterile cartridges. The earrings remain sealed until the moment of piercing, preventing exposure to contaminants.

Each piercing earring is fitted with the Inverness Safety Back™, which:

✨ Protects the piercing tip

✨ Allows proper airflow during healing

✨ Prevents the backing from being pressed too tightly against the ear

The result is a comfortable piercing with minimal discomfort and safer healing.

Ear piercing in Leigh-on-Sea

Children's ear piercing

❤ Children's ear piercing requires extra care, which is why the Inverness system is ideal for younger ears.

❤ The instrument is hand-pressured rather than spring-loaded, making it smooth, quiet and far less intimidating than traditional piercing guns or visible needles.

❤ Most children experience very little discomfort, and the piercing takes just a moment.

❤ Our trained team ensures that every ear piercing is carried out safely, hygienically and with care, helping both children and parents feel relaxed during the process.

❤ Children's ear piercing is available for little ones over the age of five.

Cartilage ear piercing

❤ In addition to standard lobe piercing, we can also pierce cartilage areas of the outer ear, allowing you to create stylish multi-piercing looks.

❤ Cartilage piercings use the same gentle Inverness system, but healing times are slightly longer because cartilage has a lower blood supply than the earlobe.

❤ Typical healing times are:

6 weeks for earlobe piercings
12 weeks for cartilage piercings

❤ Our team will explain the placement options and help you choose earrings suitable for cartilage piercing.

Ear piercing aftercare

Proper aftercare is important to ensure your new piercing heals comfortably.

After your piercing we will provide clear aftercare instructions, including how to clean your earrings and care for the piercing during healing.

Key aftercare advice includes:

✨ Clean the piercing regularly using the solution provided

✨ Avoid removing your earrings during the healing period

✨ Avoid twisting or touching the earrings unnecessarily

✨ Keep hair products, perfumes and lotions away from the piercing

Healing time is usually 6 weeks for lobe piercings and around 12 weeks for cartilage piercings.
