At Tiny Tatts Co, we know that getting your child's ears pierced is a big milestone!

Why Choose Tiny Tatts Co for Your Child's Piercing?
Experienced, Gentle Piercers
Our team is highly trained in children's piercings and knows how to make little ones feel comfortable and confident. We specialize in creating a calm, supportive environment where your child feels safe and excited about their new earrings.
Tandem Piercing Available
For kids who are a little nervous, we can have two piercers work at the same time so both ears are done in one go—less stress, more smiles at no extra cost! This technique minimizes discomfort and gets the job done quickly.
Medical-Grade Titanium Jewellery
We use only hypoallergenic, medical-grade ASTM F136 titanium earrings to ensure the safest healing process with no nasty reactions. This premium material is specifically chosen for children's sensitive skin.
Calm, Kid-Friendly Environment
Our space is welcoming, relaxed, and designed to make everyone feel at ease. Our team goes out of their way to make your child feel like the most important person in the room and showers them with the support and encouragement they need to feel ready. We also have lollies to finish as well as a BRAVERY certificate!
TIP: You can also bring their favourite toy to snuggle if it makes them feel more confident!
What Age Can Kids Get Their Ears Pierced?
At Tiny Tatts Co our studio policy—and professional recommendation—is to wait until at least age 5+ as younger kids have delicate ears and need to be able to care for their piercings properly. Their anatomy is also still developing which is where you can sometimes find piercing sites seem like they are "wrong" or "moved" when older - but in fact it is due to the ears continuing to grow and therefore naturally move the original piercing sites making them seem wrong.
We also believe a child should be able to understand the procedure and consent to any piercing on their own body. So if your little one isn't quite ready, no worries—we'll be here when they are!

What to Expect on the Day
Before You Arrive
Make sure your child has had a good meal and is well-rested. Hydrated, happy kids make for the best piercing experience!
At Your Appointment
Our piercer will chat with you and your child to make sure they feel comfortable. We'll mark the ears, check placement, and once you both approve, we'll do the piercings quickly and safely.
Afterwards
Your child will be the proud new owner of some super cute earrings, and you'll get full aftercare instructions to keep everything healing smoothly.
Aftercare for Kids' Ear Piercing
Healing properly is just as important as getting the piercing done right! Here's how to care for your child's new earrings:
Clean Twice a Day
Use sterile saline solution (no alcohol or peroxide!) morning and night.
No Twisting or Playing
Hands off! Twisting earrings can slow healing and introduce bacteria.
Swimming & Sports
Avoid pools, oceans, and high-contact sports for at least 2 weeks.
Sleeping Smart
A travel pillow or donut pillow can help avoid pressure on fresh piercings.
Jewellery Stays In
Keep earrings in for at least 6 weeks (lobe piercings) before changing them. We always recommend rebooking our complimentary check up service to assist with this and to ensure the piercing sites are healed properly before changing over.
