What makes piercing with Rowan safe?Updated a year ago

We put safety first, with ear piercings performed exclusively by a licensed nurse and using only hypoallergenic earrings made from premium, nickel-free materialsRowan Nurses have extensive experience in creating stress-free environments, are experts in the use of PPE and maintaining sterility, and always put their clients first. Rowan Nurses use a gentle, hand-pressured device with pre-sterilized 14K gold or stainless steel earrings to pierce all ages. Our piercing jewelry has safety backs and long posts to ensure sufficient airflow and optimal healing. We never use piercing guns, which are spring-loaded and can damage the ear tissue.

We also offer piercings with a hollow needle for guests 12 and up. Both the hand-pressurized device and the hollow needle are safe and accurate when in the hands of a trained professional.

It is important to choose safe materials when having your ears pierced because metal allergies are common and can develop at any point in life, and an ear piercing makes your skin more vulnerable to irritation-causing metals like nickel, brass, and zinc. This is why Rowan only uses the safest materials – pre-sterilized 14K gold or stainless steel, and titanium earrings.
