My son Jamie age 13 had been asking for pierced ears for a couple of months. Me and his Mum went through all the pros and cons such as not everybody would view it positively but some people would etc etc.

(I have first hand experience of this as l have had pierced ears since l was 15.)

Anyhow once we realized he definitely wanted to go ahead, we took him one Saturday morning to the nearest shopping centre in Leeds. We asked an assistant if we needed to book an appointment and she said no, probably not, that as the lady who did the ear piercing was there, that Jamie could probably have his ears pierced right away.

The lady was happy it turned out to do it there and then.

She took us to the section of the shop where the ear piercing was done and while she explained the process and the necessary forms were filled out Jamie chose his ear piercing studs, a pair of small gold cz studs.

The lady was a real pro. Although Jamie wasn’t nervous you could tell she would be brilliant with an anxious customer. After cleaning. Jamie’s earlobes, then marking the spot to be pierced with a dot on each earlobe and once she was satisfied that he was happy with the placement of the markings, she quickly and professionaly pierced his ears.

Jamie is thrilled with his pierced ears and earrings. He has nearly finished the six week healing process without any problems. He commented at the time how little it hurt when his ears were pierced and we all commented on what a lovely experience it was. The whole process from entering the store to leaving was only between 15 – 20 minutes, yet nothing felt rushed about any of it.

The only problem we have now is that his younger brother Gavin 11 now also wants his ears pierced now, athough we have told him that in the interests of fairness, he will also have to wait till he is 13 before getting earrings!!

It’s only 14 months away though. Then the whole family 👪 will have pierced ears!!!

I love love love Inverness ear piercing, it’s so simple! Last time I had my ears pierced I had a huge shock, it was so loud and made me jump and the earring choice was minimal. This time with Inverness it was completely different. It was quiet, didn’t hurt as much and had a huge choice. I went for my daughter’s birth stone!

After being nagged by my 16 year old son for his first ear piercing I finally gave in. I took him to our local branch and we had a walk in appointment. They were very thorough and asked age and if there were any known allergies. They had a great choice of earrings which was great (he was slightly apprehensive that he may have to have a huge gold stud). He chose a flat silver coloured one that had a matching back. He was so happy as this is what he wanted after he could change his earrings. The whole thing was quick and easy and it is healing nicely! Happy mum, even happier son.

“Many didn’t even know our shop existed until a recommendation for piercing. We’ve been able to engage with clients in an entirely new way, deliver our strong marketing message and provide a service that wasn’t available in the town. We’re seeing clients peruse the store and identify wish lists for Christmas. It’s all very encouraging. Our preference is for second and cartilage piercings and we’ll only pierce ears of children if they are old enough to ask for it and show excitement.”

“When the team first suggested it during one of our strategy meetings, I wasn’t too keen, as I didn’t think it was particularly ‘luxury’ or in-demand. It wasn’t as straightforward as I’d expected – we had to apply for a premises license and individual operator license and have a council inspection. “But once we had those, the amazing team at Connoisseurs and Inverness Provided in-store training. The girls had already been booking appointments and before we even had the equipment to Pierce, we had 15 booked.”

I am so pleased I chose to partner with Inverness. My clients love it and they recommend this quick and painless system to others. The jewellery is high quality and looks beautiful. Also, the support from the team is incredible. They are super friendly and kind and you feel like part of a family. Thanks for everything Gemma, Tasha & Becky.
