How do I change my device piercing studs?Updated 8 days ago

Changing earrings for the first time after piercing may seem daunting, which is why Rowan offers The Change Out, a complimentary jewelry change with a purchase of Rowan earrings.  A few things to keep in mind:

• Piercing earrings are securely placed on the ear to ensure that the earrings remain intact while the piercing is first healing.

• A Rowan nurse will change piercing earrings for you so that you do not need to do this for yourself or your child. 

• The jewelry change service is complimentary with the purchase of a pair of Rowan hypoallergenic earrings. 

• This service is offered Monday through Thursday. 

• We do not take appointments for this service –  walk-ins only.  

If you would like to change your earrings yourself, follow these steps. 

Steps for Removing Device Piercing Jewelry:

• Your device piercing studs will have a traditional butterfly or a bell-back safety backing.

• Before removing your earrings, clean around the piercing and earrings with a gentle cleanser, like our Advanced Aftercare Spray.

• Gently rotate the earring a few times to loosen it.

• Hold the front of the earring with one hand and the earring back with the other.

• Slowly and gently pull the front of the earring forward while supporting the backing.

• That’s it! Repeat on the other side.

Feeling resistance when removing your earrings is expected, so you may need to apply steady pressure. After you remove your original piercing earrings, please cleanse the area again before inserting new hypoallergenic jewelry.

If you still have issues changing your Rowan piercing studs, you can stop by any Rowan studio, where a Rowan Nurse can assist you.
