Safe, Gentle, Sterile Ear Piercing for Everyone*

Experience the difference

Getting your ears pierced for the first time can be unsettling for children and adults. Medical ear piercing with Joy Family Health is a smart choice to have your piercing done by a caring medical doctor in a sterile environment of our office. Let a medical professional take gentle care to do it right. Our medical ear piercing uses surgically sterile techniques to eliminate contamination. We use single-use disposable cartridges to pierce and insert the posts simultaneously. Joy Family Health only uses studs and earrings that are hypoallergenic, nickel-free, so there is no possibility of an allergic reaction and are best for sensitive ears. The earrings are made of only the finest European crystals to add brilliance and sparkle and are exclusively supplied from Blomdahl, the industry leader in medical ear piercing products.  You will be able to choose between 4mm crystal (pictured left) or rose (pictured right) both with plenty of sparkle and shine!

Blomdahl Medical Plastic

Blomdahl’s Medical Plastic is the only ear piercing earring in the world with 0% nickel! This eliminates the risk of developing a nickel allergy. Medical Plastic is recommended for anyone who wants to avoid developing a nickel allergy or with senstive ears.

Optimal healing

Our studs are lightweight and designed for maximum air circulation.  Two important features to facilitate healing.  When air can circulate around a new piercing, it will heal better. That’s why the earring backs on Blomdahl piercing earrings are always fixed at the tip of the post.  Our earrings are lightweight.

Safer to change earrings

Blomdahl’s piercing earrings have been designed so that the holes will be slightly wider in the beginning and thereby not get so easily damaged when you change earrings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Screen-Shot-2018-07-08-at-1.10.46-PM-3015473296

Q-Is ear piercing open to non-members?
A-Absolutely!

Q-How long should I expect the appointment to take?
A-Most visits are 15-20 minutes.

Q-Do the earrings come with backs?
A-All earrings are sold by the pair and come with backs.

Q-How do I take care of my newly pierced ears?
A-An ear piercing is in fact a small wound. It is important to take proper care of it throughout the healing period (approx. 6–12 weeks), in order to avoid it getting infected. By following the aftercare instructions, you can minimize the risk of infection. In the written aftercare instructions you are advised to clean the hole thoroughly twice a day, using soap and water or Blomdahl Piercing Aftercare cleansing swabs, which are gentle on the skin and easy to use.

Q-Why should I avoid rotating/twist the piercing earring?
A-A common misconception is that, if you do not rotate the piercing earring, the skin will get stuck to it. This is not true. What is true is that rotating the piercing earring without first having cleaned your ear, earring and hands thoroughly, can infect the ear piercing.

Q-How do I remove the piercing earring?
A-To remove the piercing earring: Wash hands and ears thoroughly. A good time to remove the piercing earring is right after a shower/hair wash. With one hand, take hold of the jewelry part (front) of the piercing earring. With the other hand, take hold of the earring back and wiggle it back and forth, until you feel it loosens. Carefully remove the piercing earring and insert a clean earring. Piercing earrings are only intended to be used during the healing period.
