Children's Ear Piercings
Safe Children's Ear Piercings.
Children's Ear Piercing
A child's first piercing is a big milestone, and we believe it deserves a little extra care.
When I pierced my daughter's ears just before her third birthday, it completely changed the way I looked at children's appointments.
Our goal isn't just to get earrings in. We want children to leave feeling proud of themselves, and parents to leave feeling confident in the experience they chose. That starts with trust, patience, and making sure every child feels heard throughout the process.
Is my Child Ready?
Every child is different, which is why we don't believe there's a perfect age for ear piercing. Kids ages 3 to 6 begin with a required consultation before scheduling their piercing appointment. This gives us a chance to meet your child, answer questions, explain the process, and make sure they're emotionally ready before piercing day.
Many children 7 and older are already confident and know exactly what to expect. If your child has been asking consistently, understands what's involved, and you feel they're ready, we'll help you decide whether a consultation is the best first step.
If they're not quite ready, that's okay too. We'd much rather wait a little longer than turn their first piercing into a stressful experience.
Piercing Day
Children's appointments are offered on Wednesdays with Dani and Thursdays with Vanessa. We intentionally reserve these quieter days so every family has the time and space they deserve. We don't schedule children's appointments on busy weekends because we never want your child to feel rushed or overwhelmed.
We book up to two hours for every appointment, giving your child plenty of time to settle in, ask questions, take breaks, or simply get comfortable. Some kids hop right into the chair. Others need a little more time. Both are completely okay.
We'll put on their favorite Netflix show, have juice or candy waiting, and move at your child's pace. Our goal is to make the studio feel a little less intimidating and a lot more fun.
If your child decides they're not ready—or even decides they'd rather stop after one ear—we'll respect that
Why families Choose Tru
Parents choose Tru because we believe there's no rush. We don't use piercing guns. We don't believe every child is ready simply because they have reached a certain birthday.
We don't rush appointments. We don't use piercing guns. And we don't believe readiness is determined by age alone.
Instead, we focus on creating a calm experience, using implant-grade jewelry, explaining every step, and helping children build confidence throughout the process.
The piercing is important. How your child remembers it is just as important.
Required Documentation
Texas law requires us to verify the identity of both the minor and their parent or legal guardian before performing any piercing. Please bring the following documents to your appointment. Unfortunately, we cannot make exceptions.
Children Ages 3–14
Original birth certificate
Parent or legal guardian's valid government-issued photo ID
Teens Ages 15–17
Original birth certificate
Minor's government-issued photo ID, school ID, or passport
Parent or legal guardian's valid government-issued photo ID
Legal Guardians
If you're your child's legal guardian rather than their parent, please also bring the legal documents establishing guardianship.
We'll make copies of the required documents for our records before the appointment begins, as required by Texas law.
Please double-check that you've brought the original birth certificate. Unfortunately, we can't accept photocopies or photos on a phone.
Pricing
Children's ear piercings start at $198, which includes:
Two piercing procedures
Two implant-grade titanium flat back studs with simple bead ends
Many families choose to upgrade their jewelry, and we'll happily walk you through all of the available options during your consultation. There is absolutely no pressure—we'll help you find something that fits both your child's style and your budget.
Some of our most popular upgrades include:
Bezel set CZ studs: Starting at $220
Prong set CZ studs: Starting at $235
Solid gold jewelry: Starting around $100 per piece, depending on the design
We also carry a rotating collection of gold and titanium jewelry with unique designs, colorful gemstones, and seasonal pieces, so there's always something special to choose from.
Tandem Piercing
For children 10 years and older, we also offer tandem piercings, where both ears are pierced at the same time by two piercers.
Many older kids prefer this approach because it shortens the experience and can help reduce anxiety by getting both ears done at once.
Tandem piercings are available by request, require a consultation beforehand, and the service fee is $150 instead of $100.
