As the country’s largest piercer with over 48 years of experience, we’re always innovating on how best to safely pierce. Claire’s has the latest and safest devices in the industry, using a hand-pressured device (never a gun!). Our system safely and quickly pierces ears using a gentle, hand-pressured instrument (with complete control) to guide, place, and pierce. This instrument holds a pre-sterilized, pre-sealed, hypoallergenic, single-use cartridge containing the sterile starter stud earrings that pierce the ear. Our piercing earrings are specially designed with 20-gauge posts (standard earring size) and a finely honed (extra sharp) piercing tip to help the earrings glide through the ear as easily as possible. This is not a piercing gun, which uses spring-loaded mechanisms to pierce forcefully. Our industry-leading hand-pressured instrument allows for gentle and direct control with every piercing.

Each associate is required to complete an extensive Ear Piercing training program before becoming a Piercing Specialist. Training includes a breadth of procedures, local policy comprehension, hygiene protocols, and demonstration of core piercing competencies. Associates must successfully complete hands-on practice, role-playing scenarios, and knowledge assessments to ensure confidence and consistency in execution. The program also focuses on customer consultation, proper aftercare education, and maintaining a safe, clean piercing environment. In addition to initial certification, Piercing Specialists receive ongoing training, coaching, and updates to ensure they stay aligned with the latest standards, best practices, and safety guidelines.

Yes, we take safety seriously and ensure our piercing specialists receive ongoing training and the newest technology. All piercing tools are single-use and piercing jewelry is sterilized and stored in capsules. Our piercing jewelry is either hypoallergenic or has nickel content that is less than 0.5% total, which significantly reduces the risk of allergic reaction. Plus, our recommended aftercare plan will help you heal quickly.
