The Zilvra Piercing Studio

A piercing is a permanent decision, often a meaningful one. We treat it that way. Every Zilvra piercing studio operates as a dedicated space within our stores — not a corner, not an afterthought, but a fully equipped medical-grade environment staffed by professionals who have trained for years in the art and science of body piercing.

When you book with Zilvra, you are not just getting a hole in your ear. You are receiving a consultation tailored to your anatomy, your lifestyle, and your aesthetic goals. We consider the long-term placement, the angle that will heal cleanest, the jewelry that will sit most comfortably in your body for months to come. This is precision work, and we take it seriously.

What We Offer

Our piercers are qualified to perform a comprehensive range of ear piercings:

•           Earlobe — Single, double, or triple placement on one or both ears

•           Upper Lobe — Positioned at the top of the lobe where cartilage begins

•           Helix — Outer rim of the upper ear, available as single or stacked placements

•           Forward Helix — Front-facing cartilage fold near the temple

•           Tragus — Small pointed flap in front of the ear canal

•           Conch — Inner cup of the ear, suited to statement studs and hoops

•           Daith — Inner cartilage fold, popular for its distinctive placement

•           Rook — Fold of cartilage between the inner and outer conch areas

•           Flat — Flat cartilage surface in the upper ear, ideal for decorative studs

•           Industrial — Two helix piercings connected by a single barbell

During your consultation, your piercer will examine your ear anatomy and discuss which placements will work best for your specific shape. Not every ear suits every piercing, and we will be honest with you about what will look good and heal well.

The Experience, Step by Step

Step 1 — Booking and Consultation Reserve your appointment online or by phone. When you arrive, your piercer sits down with you for an unhurried conversation. We discuss your goals, review your medical history for any contraindications, and examine the placement area. You will look at jewelry options together, choosing from our curated collection of implant-grade titanium and nickel-free sterling silver pieces designed specifically for initial piercings.

Step 2 — Marking and Approval Your piercer marks the exact placement with a surgical pen and hands you a mirror. This is your moment to adjust, to ask questions, to request a millimeter shift to the left. Nothing happens until you give explicit, enthusiastic approval.

Step 3 — The Piercing Using a single-use, pre-sterilized hollow needle — never a piercing gun — your piercer creates the opening in one smooth, controlled motion. The technique minimizes tissue trauma and promotes faster, cleaner healing. Jewelry is inserted immediately. The actual piercing takes seconds. Most clients describe the sensation as a sharp pinch followed by immediate relief.

Step 4 — Aftercare Briefing Before you leave, your piercer walks you through a detailed aftercare protocol, provides a printed guide, and supplies a starter kit with sterile saline solution and care instructions. You will also receive a direct contact number for the studio in case questions arise during healing.

Our Piercers

Every Zilvra piercer holds certification from the Association of Professional Piercers (APP) or an equivalent governing body, with a minimum of three years of professional experience before joining our team. They undergo continuing education annually, studying advances in sterilization, wound healing, and jewelry materials. Many have trained internationally, bringing techniques from studios in London, Tokyo, and Berlin.

Beyond technical skill, our piercers are chosen for their calm demeanor and ability to put nervous clients at ease. Piercing can be intimidating, especially for first-timers. Our team knows how to talk you through the moment, how to keep the energy light, how to make you feel safe.

Safety and Hygiene

This is non-negotiable. Every Zilvra piercing studio adheres to the following protocols without exception:

•           Single-use, disposable needles, opened in front of you from sealed packaging

•           Autoclave-sterilized instruments, with indicator strips confirming sterilization

•           Medical-grade treatment chairs and surfaces disinfected between every client

•           Piercers wear disposable gloves, changed multiple times per appointment

•           Implant-grade jewelry materials (ASTM F-136 titanium, nickel-free sterling silver) that meet international biocompatibility standards

•           All studios undergo monthly third-party hygiene audits

We do not use piercing guns. Ever. They cause blunt-force trauma, cannot be properly sterilized, and deliver results inferior to hand piercing with a needle. If you are comparing options, this is one difference worth noting.
