Inverness Ear Piercing
More gentle than other products, Inverness is the only ear piercing system that features fully enclosed sterile capsules, which means it’s the most sterile (the only system globally that can guarantee sterility). The Inverness Ear Piercing Instrument is hand-pressured and provides a smooth, quiet ear piercing.For the past 45 years, over 200 million people have trusted Inverness for safe and gentle ear piercing. This system is used in jewellery stores, department stores, salons, pharmacies, and body piercing shops in over 40 countries worldwide.
FULLY-ENCLOSED STERILE EARRING CAPSULES
Invernesses pre-sterilised earring capsules ensure the safest ear piercing possible by preventing the piercing earring and Safety Back™ from being exposed to possible contaminants prior to piercing.
SAFETY BACK SHIELDS
Inverness Safety Back shields the sharp piercing tip and prevents the earring back from being squeezed too tight. This provides ample space and airflow while the piercing heals.

Needle Ear Piercing
This method is widely considered to be more precise and offers greater versatility for all parts of the ear. The appointment process is very similar; we still cleanse the area to be pierced, and mark the spot. The single use, sterile needle is encased in a sleeve and so once the needle has gone through the ear it is then removed and the sleeve remains. Then, the earring post is popped into the sleeve and pulled back through the ear. Once it's in, the sleeve is then removed and the front of the earring (the actual stud itself, the part you can see) is then screwed onto the post and it’s complete!
