The Pink Tatpier Difference: Why a Professional Needle Piercing is Essential

For decades, the standard for lobe piercing has been the unsafe and outdated piercing gun found in malls and accessory shops. At Pink Tatpier, we are dedicated to educating our clients on why a professional needle piercing is the only safe, precise, and correct method for any piercing, especially the lobe.

 

The Dangers of Piercing Guns

Piercing guns are not a valid method for piercing; they are a tool of convenience that comes at a high cost to your body.

• Blunt Force Trauma: A gun forces a blunt stud through your tissue, shattering the cartilage and skin. This causes significant unnecessary trauma, leading to longer healing times, more swelling, and a higher risk of scarring.
• Inadequate Sterilisation: Piercing guns are made of plastic and cannot be properly sterilised in a medical-grade autoclave. This creates a significant risk of cross-contamination and the transmission of bloodborne pathogens.
• Poor Quality Jewellery: The studs used in guns are typically low-quality, externally threaded, and use butterfly backs which trap bacteria and are notoriously uncomfortable to sleep on.
• Lack of Precision: A bulky gun offers no precision. Placement is often inaccurate, leading to crooked piercings that are impossible to style correctly later on.

The Professional Needle Advantage

• Precision and Accuracy: A hollow, single-use, razor-sharp needle glides cleanly through the tissue, creating a smooth channel for the jewellery. This allows our piercers to achieve perfect angles and placement, which is crucial for creating aligned stacks.
• Minimal Trauma, Faster Healing: The clean channel created by a needle results in less pain, less swelling, and a significantly smoother and faster healing process.
• Guaranteed Sterility: Every needle is new, single-use, and comes in sterile packaging. All other tools are sterilised in a medical-grade autoclave. This eliminates the risk of cross-contamination.
• High-Quality Jewellery: We exclusively use implant-grade, internally threaded or threadless jewellery with flat backs for optimal healing and comfort.

At Pink Tatpier, your health is paramount. We exclusively use sterile, single-use needles for every single piercing, without exception. This is the professional standard, and we believe your lobes deserve nothing less.

 

Single, Double, Triple & Constellation Lobe Piercings

The earlobe is a versatile canvas. We specialise in a range of lobe piercing services to help you build your unique look.

The First Lobe Piercing

For many, this is the first step into the world of body art. We make it a special, safe, and positive experience. We take the time to ensure perfect placement and help you choose a beautiful piece of initial jewellery that you’ll love.

Second & Third Lobe Piercings (The “Stack”)

Adding second or third lobe piercings is the most popular way to begin curating your ear. The art of the “stacked lobe” lies in the placement. Our piercers are experts at mapping out the piercings to follow the natural curve of your ear, ensuring they are perfectly spaced and angled to be worn with a beautiful gradient of studs or hoops once healed.

Constellation Piercings

A modern and highly personalised approach, a constellation piercing is a curated, often asymmetric cluster of three or more piercings on the lobe. This creates a unique, celestial-inspired look. This style requires a true artist’s eye for composition and balance, a speciality of our piercers.

Our Lobe Piercing Process: A Safe & Comfortable Experience

1. Consultation & Jewellery Selection: You’ll select your initial jewellery from our extensive collection of implant-grade studs.
2. Artistic Marking: Your piercer will clean the area and mark the proposed placement(s). For multiple piercings, we take extra care to ensure the alignment is perfect. You will always approve the final placement.
3. The Swift, Sterile Piercing Procedure: The piercing itself is very quick. We use a smooth, professional technique to minimise discomfort.
4. Aftercare Briefing: We provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth healing process.

 

Lobe Piercing Price, Pain & Healing: Your London Guide (September 2025)

Pain Level

 

The earlobe is one of the least painful places to be pierced. Most clients rate the pain at a 2-3 out of 10. It is a very quick, mild pinch that subsides almost immediately. It is an excellent choice for a first piercing.

 

Healing Time

A standard lobe piercing typically takes 6 to 8 weeks for initial healing. However, we strongly recommend waiting at least 3 to 4 months before changing the initial jewellery for stylistic purposes to ensure the channel is mature and stable.

Cost of a Lobe Piercing in London

Our pricing is transparent. The total cost is the service fee (per piercing) plus the cost of your chosen jewellery.

Service	Price (GBP)	What’s Included
Lobe Piercing Fee (per piercing)	£30 – £35	A professional consultation, marking, the sterile piercing procedure, and a comprehensive aftercare guide.
Initial Jewellery (Stud)	Starts from £20	An implant-grade titanium flat-back labret stud. Price varies for solid gold and genuine gemstones.
Total Starting Price (per lobe)	From £50 – £55	The service fee + the cost of your chosen jewellery.

 

The Best Jewellery for Your Lobe Piercing

For Initial Healing: Flat-Back Labret Studs

We strongly advocate for and exclusively use flat-back labret studs for healing lobe piercings. They are vastly superior to traditional butterfly-back earrings because the flat disc on the back does not trap bacteria, is easy to clean, and does not poke you behind the ear, making sleep far more comfortable.

 

For a Healed Piercing

Once your lobe piercing is fully healed, the styling possibilities are endless! You can explore our collection of decorative ends for your labret posts, or be fitted for beautiful seamless rings, clicker hoops, and elegant chains.

 

Materials Matter

We only stock and use the safest, highest-quality materials:

• Implant-Grade Titanium (ASTM F-136)
• 14k & 18k Solid Gold (Nickel-Free)

Lobe Piercing for Children: Our Responsible Policy

At Pink Tatpier, we believe that piercing is a personal choice. We offer lobe piercing services for children aged 10 and above.

A parent or legal guardian must be present to provide consent and must accompany the child for the entire appointment. We require valid photo ID for both the guardian and proof of age for the child (such as a passport). Our piercers are experienced in creating a calm, reassuring, and positive first piercing experience, treating our younger clients with the same level of respect and care as our adult clients.

 

Frequently Asked Questions About Lobe Piercings

1. Can you pierce both of my lobes at the same time?

Yes, if you would like both lobes pierced during the same appointment, we can arrange for two piercers to perform the service simultaneously, pending availability. Please mention this when booking.

2. How long until I can switch to hoops?

We recommend waiting a minimum of 3-4 months. While the piercing may feel healed after 6-8 weeks, the internal channel is still maturing. Changing to a hoop too early can cause irritation and prolong the healing process.

3. What’s the best way to plan a “stacked lobe” or constellation look?

Book a consultation! Our piercers are happy to sit down with you, look at your ear’s unique anatomy, and map out a long-term plan for your ear curation project. We can help you decide on the perfect placement for multiple piercings to achieve your desired aesthetic.
