Embark is your destination for a personalized, comfortable + safe piercing experience!
Our piercings are done in a private room by licensed health professionals. We offer a personalized experience, help you choose the perfect earring, and provide thorough aftercare instructions for proper healing.
Appointment required. Offered in both our Lafayette + Baton Rouge showrooms.
PIERCING LOCATION
CURATED PIERCINGS
We pierce anywhere on the outer part of the ear. This includes the lobe, lower helix, and upper helix.
We offer both flatback and butterfly back options.
the HOLLOW NEEDLE
bye bye piercing guns!
Our experienced piercers use a single use, sterilized, hollow needle to ensure safety and cleanliness. The hollow needle is less traumatic, more comfortable, and eases healing.
Additionally, we offer numbing cream to enhance your overall comfort during the piercing process.

FAQs

All piercings are done by licensed medical professionals trained in proper sterile technique.

You must be at least 8 years of age and must have an adult present for those under the age of 18.
If your child becomes upset or unwilling to get their ears pierced, we will postpone the service until you feel your child is able to comfortably continue with the ear piercing procedure. It's important to us that the child feels excited, comfortable, and willing to go through the process!
We kindly request that only the child getting their ears pierced be present for the appointment. If you have other children with you, we ask that another adult supervises them during the piercing to ensure a safe and focused environment.
We are committed to creating a safe and positive piercing experience for everyone involved!

Healing times vary on location. The average healing time for a piercing on the lobe is 6-8 weeks, while the helix will take 6-12 months.
Once you’re fully healed, you’re free to switch it up. Keep your flatback in (it’s made for everyday comfort), or swap in new styles whenever you want.
We typically pierce with 8mm flatback lengths that gives room incase of any swelling. As your new piercing heals you may notice the flatback length is too long. At this time you may schedule a change out appointment with us to switch the flatback post down to a smaller length. We also offer our change out kit that gives you the tool and choice of flatback length to switch it out yourself.
Yes, but we may guide you on spacing and timing to make sure everything heals properly.
