1.  Sealed and pre-sterilized earrings. Inverness is the only ear piercing system with fully-encapsulated piercing earrings that prevent our earrings and exclusive Inverness Safety Back™ from being exposed to potential contaminants prior to piercing. These pre-sterilized earring cartridges are sealed until selected for piercing. Unlike other systems on the market, Inverness piercing earrings are not exposed until they are safely inserted in the ear.

2.  An exclusive earring back. The Inverness Safety Back™ promotes safer healing by shielding the sharp piercing tip of the earring post and preventing the earring back from being squeezed too tight. This provides proper airflow and prevents the earring back from becoming embedded during the healing process.

Unlike loud piercing guns that “shoot” a spring-loaded earring through the tissue, the Inverness instrument is hand-pressured and pierces the ear quickly and accurately in one smooth, quiet motion.

Yes! Inverness piercing studs come in a variety of hypoallergenic metal choices including 14KT gold, 24KT gold plate and medical-grade stainless steel.

Your ear piercing is FREE with the purchase of the piercing earrings. We will also provide you with a complimentary 2oz. bottle of Aftercare Cleansing Solution with your purchase. 16oz. bottles are also available for purchase.

The average healing time for a new earlobe piercing is six weeks. To ensure fast and safe healing, always wash your hands prior to handling your piercing stud or touching the pierced area. Follow the aftercare instructions provided at the time of your piercing, and use the Helzberg Aftercare Cleansing Solution to properly care for your newly pierced ears.

The minimum age for ear piercing at Helzberg is 6 years old.

Please note: minor children (ages 6-17) must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for their piercing. The parent/guardian will sign the ear piercing permission form (release authorization form) on behalf of their minor child.
