Places to Get Your Child’s Ears Pierced in Indy

Getting your child’s ears pierced is a big decision and finding a reliable, safe place to do it is a big part of the equation! Hopefully we can take some of the guesswork out of it with this information and list of local places that will pierce children’s ears, under the age of 18.

To Know

Indiana Law states that parents must produce written permission for children under 18 to get a piercing and many reputable tattoo/piercing parlors will require a birth certificate and parent ID, as well. The following adult tattoo and piercing parlors have been recommended as child friendly, but be sure to call in advance, as policies are constantly changing.

Tips:

  • Make sure to do your own research before going to any piercing location. As a parent you have to feel comfortable with each location’s policies and methods in advance of the procedure.
  • Pay attention to sanitary conditions. Does the space look clean? Does the piercing technician wash their hands, wear gloves, and remove tools from sanitary packaging?
  • Ask about the type of earrings they will be using. Surgical steel posts are best and less likely to cause an infection.
  • Be sure to ask about proper cleaning and healing. Ear piercings tend to heal within 4-6 weeks and need to be cleaned and turned regularly. Do not take posts out for extended periods of time during this healing process for risk of the holes closing prematurely.
