Ear Piercing

No! Studex ear piercing products are designed to safely pierce the ear lobe and outer cartilage of the ear. Studex ear piercing products should not be used to pierce other parts of the body. 

 Since some people are allergic to nickel, the EU nickel directive regulates how much nickel may be released onto the skin per week. For earrings, these are a maximum of 0.2 micrograms per square centimeter per week (i.e. 0.2 millionth of a gram). All Studex studs and earrings fall well below this allowable value and are thus nickel-safe and allergy free. In fact, all Studex studs and hoops are hypoallergenic, nickel-safe, lead-, cadmium- and cobalt-free. 

 A minimum of 6 weeks for pierced ear lobes and 12 weeks for ear cartilage piercings. You should only switch into new earrings after the suggested healing period. 

 Yes! All Studex ear piercing systems are safe for ears of any age. However, we recommend that parents wait until the first DPT vaccination is administered to a newborn and to consult with a pediatrician. 

 Clean the piercing area(s) with Studex After Piercing Lotion or Gel and rotate the piercing stud at least once a day. More frequent cleaning is necessary after excessive physical activity. Avoid touching the piercing area(s) whenever possible. 

Yes! All Studex ear piercing studs and hoops are packaged and sterilized to meet or exceed U.S. FDA standards and EC European regulations.
