Ear piercing in Winton
Our trained ear piercer can pierce your ears in store. It costs $20, plus the earrings you choose.
How it works
Winton Pharmacy has a trained ear piercer. Ring 03 236 7729 for an appointment, or just pop in and see if we can fit you in. On Saturdays, ear piercing is by appointment only.
We use an ear piercing instrument, which pierces the earlobe by driving a pointed starter earring through the ear.
Aftercare
An earlobe piercing usually takes 6 to 8 weeks to heal before you can change your earrings. Wear earrings in newly pierced ears for at least 6 months, as holes left empty for a long time can close. Cartilage piercings usually take longer to heal than earlobes.
