Tandem Lobe Piercings at Z-Edge Tattoo & Body Piercing

At Z-Edge Tattoo & Body Piercing, tandem lobe piercings are one of our most requested services for children’s ear piercings and first-time piercings. Both earlobes are pierced at the same time by experienced professionals, allowing for precise placement, symmetry, and a smoother experience overall.

Our team is known for creating a calm, supportive environment for kids and parents alike — because ear piercing should feel safe, positive, and memorable for the right reasons.

Benefits of Tandem Lobe Piercings

Balanced, Professional Placement

Both lobes are pierced simultaneously for clean, even alignment — no guessing, no second-ear surprises.

Fast & Efficient

One smooth moment instead of two separate piercings means less time in the chair.

Lower Anxiety for Kids

There’s no waiting for the second ear, which helps reduce stress for younger clients.

Gentler for First-Timers

Many parents find tandem lobe piercings easier for children since it’s one quick experience.

Consistent Healing

Both piercings heal at the same pace, making aftercare simple and predictable.

Z-Edge Standards of Care

All piercings are performed by trained professionals using sterile, single-use instruments and jewelry selected specifically for safe healing.

Jewelry Standards at Z-Edge

Z-Edge uses implant-grade titanium or solid 14k gold for all tandem lobe piercings. These materials are biocompatible, nickel-free, and ideal for sensitive ears and young children.

For younger clients, we strongly recommend leaving the original jewelry in place for a full year before changing it. This allows the piercing to fully stabilize and greatly reduces irritation, swelling, or accidental closure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How old does my baby have to be to get their ears pierced?

6 months

Do I need an appointment?

YES! Children who require tandem ear piercings require an appointment. We only have two piercers on certain days. If your child is under the age of 5 please give our north location a call . 941-951-1399!

Can I bring my own jewelry?

Answer: No, we do not allow clients to bring in their own jewelry. You must use the body jewelry provided at our shop. This policy ensures we can guarantee the quality of the jewelry used. Even if jewelry is labeled “14k gold" or “hypoallergenic.” it may not meet our standards. We source our jewelry from high-quality body jewelry manufacturers to control quality for fresh piercing.

What forms do I need to get my child pierced ?

You must have a completed release form and a NOTARIZED permission form for us to pierce a minor. Both forms can be completed, and the notary form downloaded, from our website. Click here to access form!

How much does a child's ear piercing cost?

A child's earlobe piercing set starts at $120 for the pair, which includes implant-grade titanium jewelry. Aftercare products are available for an additional fee.

My child does sports. How soon can we change the jewelry?

We recommend waiting at least 4 weeks before changing the jewelry to allow the piercing to heal. For active children, we sell high-quality retainers that can be used temporarily during sports activities to keep the piercing open and reduce the risk of injury. Retainers are meant to be used temporarily.

Can my child go swimming, to the beach, or the pool after getting pierced?

No, your child should avoid swimming in pools, the ocean, or any other bodies of water for at least one month. This helps prevent rritation and infection during the initial healing process.

Parent FAQ: Tandem Lobe Piercings at Z-Edge

Is ear piercing safe for my child at Z-Edge?

Yes. Ear piercings at Z-Edge are performed by experienced professionals following strict sterilization and safety protocols. We specialize in safe, age-appropriate piercing for children and first-time clients.

Why does Z-Edge offer tandem lobe piercings?

Tandem lobe piercings allow us to ensure symmetry, reduce anxiety, and create a quicker, smoother experience — especially important for kids.

Does it hurt more than piercing one ear at a time?

No. Most children tolerate tandem lobe piercings better because there’s only one brief moment rather than two separate piercings.

What ages does Z-Edge pierce?

Age requirements vary by location:

  • Z-Edge North: 6 months and up (appointments Sundays & Mondays)
  • Z-Edge Venice: 6 years and up (appointments Mondays)

A legal guardian must be present with valid identification and required documentation.

How long does healing take?

Initial lobe healing typically takes 6–8 weeks, but for young children we recommend leaving the original jewelry in for one full year to allow complete stabilization.

Can I change my child’s jewelry early?

We do not recommend early jewelry changes for young children. Keeping the original implant-grade titanium or 14k gold jewelry in place helps protect the piercing during healing.

How can I help my child feel comfortable?

Arrive fed and rested, stay calm, and let our Z-Edge team guide the experience. We take the time to explain each step in a kid-friendly way to help your child feel confident and supported.
