Why Choose Us for Your Baby’s Ear Piercing?
At Body Expressions in Seguin, we understand that getting your baby ears pierced is an important and personal decision. Since 2007, we have been Texas’ premier destination for baby ear piercings and kids ear piercing, specializing in a safe, comfortable, and compassionate experience for both parents and children. Our experienced team pierces only babies over six months old, as this age allows the ear lobe to develop enough for a stable, safe piercing.
We use a unique approach with two highly-trained professional piercers who simultaneously pierce both ears. This technique minimizes trauma, offering a quicker and more comfortable experience for your child. With over 17 years of experience, our team knows how to put you and your little one at ease, ensuring that the experience is smooth, safe, and memorable.
Safe and Sterile Environment for Piercing
We prioritize the health and safety of every child we pierce. Our piercing process takes place in a sterile, clinical environment using the highest quality materials and state-of-the-art tools. All equipment is meticulously sanitized, and we follow strict health protocols to maintain a safe space for every client. We never use piercing guns, which can be harsh and imprecise. Instead, we use sterile, single-use needles designed to make the process as gentle as possible for young skin.
Why We Don’t Use Piercing Guns
Piercing guns are commonly used in mall settings, but they are not the safest option for young, sensitive skin. Guns use blunt force to push the earring through the skin, which can increase the risk of tissue damage and infection. Our gentle, needle-based method ensures a smooth and controlled piercing experience, resulting in a more accurate and comfortable outcome for your child.
Why We Require Two Adults Present for Your Child’s Ear Piercing
At Body Expressions in Seguin, your child’s safety and comfort are our top priorities, which is why we ask that two adults accompany them for their ear piercing appointment. Having two adults present helps us ensure a smooth, secure, and stress-free experience for your little one. One adult assists our team by gently holding the child’s head and providing a stable position during the piercing process, while the other offers calming support to reassure the child and keep them comfortable. This collaborative approach helps create a safe, nurturing environment and allows us to focus fully on delivering a quick and precise piercing for your child.
How to Prepare for Your Child's Ear Piercing
We encourage you to make this experience as positive as possible by preparing ahead of time. Consider scheduling the appointment at a time when your child is generally well-rested and calm. Feeding your child beforehand can also help keep them relaxed during the session. Our professional team is here to answer any questions before, during, and after the procedure to ensure that you and your child feel confident and at ease.
