The Answer to all your piercing questions

Inverness Piercing: There is no minimum or maximum age for Lobe piercing, it is mainly safe to pierce even newborn babies to seniors. However for newborns there is no rush, we recommend to pierce your baby after her DPT vaccination.

Cartilage piercing is NEVER RECOMMENDED to be done on children (18 years old and below). Due to its longer heal-time (around 12 weeks) & more-delicate aftercare process; We require minimum 18 years of age (and a valid ID) for cartilage piercings.

Needle Piercing: We only recommend for Adults (minimum 18 years of age).

We only pierce ears and nostril at this time. You can see our Ear Chart here:

Flat, Tragus, Conch, Forward Helix, Rook & Daith piercing are only available with Needle Piercing at Tindik Grand Indonesia & Tindik Plaza Senayan.

We offer piercings with Inverness® hand pressurized device and needles. All piercings are done by licensed nurses.

Inverness® piercing system is one of the safest & most hygienic piercing system from USA. Inverness® uses hand-pressurized device that is gentle, fast, and precise. The system features pre-sterilized earrings with a patented Safety Back™. No needles seen during the piercing process, It’s efficient for piercing the outer perimeter of the ear (Lobe and Helix Piercing). Safe for all ages. We recommend this method for kids and adults who prefer it.

We also offer hollow needle piercings which is normally the preferred choice for adults. Sterile & disposable Abocath needle (size: 18G to 16G) will be used to perform this needle piercing. Needle piercing can reach placements such as conch, forward helix, tragus, and flat that are not possible with Hand-pressurized device. Needle piercings are easier to downsize your cartilage piercings. All you need to do is change to a shorter flatback and you can keep the stud.

To prevent infection and severe swelling we can only pierce 4 holes total per appointment. This includes a maximum of 3 piercings per ear and 2 piercings maximum for the upper outer perimeter of the ear (Cartilage areas).

If you wish to have more piercings done we require waiting a minimum of 8 weeks to allow proper healing before getting pierced again.

If you're planning on having more than two piercings done, please book appointment slots to ensure that our nurses has plenty of time to complete the piercing process.

No, Tindik Nurses are not able to pierce with earrings provided by the customer. We pride ourselves on our hygiene standards so we only use piercing earrings that come in sterile packaging. These earrings are made to be compatible with Inverness hand-pressurized instrument and hollow needles we use for the piercing process.

Once your piercing is healed (in 1,5-3 months for a lobe piercing and 6-12 months for a cartilage piercing) you can change the jewelry to whatever style you like – just make sure to sanitize it first and use hypoallergenic, nickel-free earrings.

Think of downsizing as a helpful and recommended step in the continuation of your healing process especially for cartilage piercings.

Once your piercer decides that you are eligible to safely downsize your piercing earring, they will remove the longer flat-back post on the back of the earring you were initially pierced with, and insert a shorter post that has a tighter fit.

When performing a new piercing, our piercers use a longer flatback post. The reason for using a longer post is because a piercing is ultimately a puncture wound and the body's response to that puncture wound is often swelling. We place a longer post to allow for the anticipated swelling and promote airflow for optimal healing.

Once the swelling settles (don't worry, swelling is normal for a new piercing) and the post has that added slack moving back and forth, it creates friction - that friction creates inflammation that in turn can result in unnecessary friction bumps.

Your piercing will look and feel better after downsizing with a shorter post.
