Our Piercing Method

Maeven performs ear piercings exclusively with the Blomdahl hand-pressurized system. Blomdahl is a Swedish medical company recognized for the gentlest piercing method available, using fully encapsulated, single-use sterile cassettes that never come into contact with skin or operator. The hand-pressurized instrument is silent, controlled, and far less startling than spring-loaded guns.

We pierce ear lobes and outer-ear placements only. We do not perform inner-cartilage piercings (daith, rook, tragus, conch, industrial), nor any nose, navel, lip, or body piercings. If you are looking for those services, we are happy to refer you to a specialty studio.

Blomdahl studs are made from medical-grade titanium or medical plastic — both completely nickel-free and hypoallergenic. Lobe piercings typically heal in 6 to 8 weeks; outer-ear placements may take longer. Proper aftercare during the healing period is the most important factor in outcome quality.

The Experience

What to Expect

Before

Eat a full meal before your appointment to keep blood sugar stable. Do not consume alcohol beforehand. Come with clean skin around the piercing site. Bring valid photo ID. Clients under 18 must bring a parent or guardian who will be present for the procedure and sign consent documentation.

During

The piercing area is cleaned and marked for your approval before anything proceeds. You confirm the exact placement. A pre-loaded single-use Blomdahl cassette is placed in the hand-pressurized instrument and the stud passes through in a fraction of a second — quietly, with no spring snap. The sensation is a brief, sharp pinch lasting less than a second.

After

Clean your piercing twice daily with a sterile saline wound wash. Do not rotate, twist, or remove the jewelry during healing. Keep unwashed hands away from the piercing. Avoid submerging in pools, lakes, or hot tubs for 4 to 6 weeks. Do not use alcohol or hydrogen peroxide on the piercing.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it hurt?
The Blomdahl instrument passes the stud through in a fraction of a second, causing a brief sharp pinch. The hand-pressurized mechanism is quiet and controlled — there is no spring snap. Most clients find it far less uncomfortable than anticipated, especially compared to spring-loaded guns.
What placements do you offer?
We pierce ear lobes and outer-ear placements only. We do not perform inner-cartilage piercings such as daith, rook, tragus, conch, or industrial, and we do not offer nose, lip, navel, or other body piercings. For those services we are happy to refer you to a specialty studio.
Why a hand-pressurized system instead of a needle?
The Blomdahl method uses a hand-pressurized instrument with a fully encapsulated single-use cassette. The stud and clasp never touch the operator or any non-sterile surface. It is a medically developed alternative designed to be gentle, hygienic, and well suited to ear lobes and the outer ear. We chose it because it offers a calm, predictable experience for our clients.
How long does healing take?
Ear lobes typically heal in 6 to 8 weeks. Outer-ear placements take longer and require continued aftercare. Full healing requires consistent aftercare throughout the entire period.
What jewelry material do you use?
All starter studs are Blomdahl medical-grade titanium or medical plastic. Both are completely nickel-free and hypoallergenic — safe for sensitive skin and recommended for new piercings. Jewelry upgrades and swaps can be discussed after the initial healing period.
What is your age policy?
Clients 18 and older can be pierced without parental involvement. Clients under 18 require a parent or legal guardian to be present at the appointment and sign written consent. Valid photo ID for both the minor and the guardian is required.
