Pricing

How Much Does an Ear Piercing Cost?

Pricing at The FALL varies by placement – earlobe piercings start at $25, and most cartilage work begins around $50–$60. Jewelry is priced separately depending on what you choose.

We think quality piercing should be fairly priced, and what you're paying for is the procedure itself, proper sterile technique, and a full aftercare walkthrough before you leave.

Our Ear Piercing Work

Our portfolio spans the full anatomy of the ear. We handle the subtle elegance of high lobe placements with the same precision as complex, demanding cartilage work, like the snug, rook, or deep conch. Whether you are looking for a classic tragus, a transverse lobe, a detailed daith, or an industrial bar connecting two sites, our work is defined by accuracy. We also expertly handle orbital styles, anti-tragus placements, and the fold of the forward helix.

Earlobe Piercing
03/12/2026

Lobe piercings done with intention. Two placements working together — a hammered gold hoop at the lower lobe and a sculptural piece above, both level and well-spaced by our team. A solid foundation for any ear collection, placed with room to build on. Clean work, quality jewellery, exactly what you'd expect from The FALL.

Helix Piercing
01/21/2026

One of the most popular ear piercings we do at The FALL — and it's easy to see why. A delicate pavé cluster placed high on the helix, paired with a beaded stud and textured hoop at the lobe. Clean work from our team, jewellery selected to complement the ear as a whole. If you're building your ear collection, this is a great place to start.

Consultation & Placement

Great piercing begins long before the needle. Every appointment at The FALL starts with a relaxed, no-pressure consultation where we discuss your goals, your lifestyle, and the natural shape of your ear. From there, we map your placement with precision – because even a millimetre changes everything.

  • A seated chat about style, sleep habits, and daily wear
  • Anatomy check to confirm which types of ear piercings suit you best
  • Dot placement that you can approve in the mirror before we begin
  • Jewellery selection from our in-house curated collection
  • A full breakdown of the process, so there are no surprises

Whether you're after a crisp helix piercing, a soft conch, or a bold industrial, we'll make sure the jewellery fits your ear for years to come.

Ear Piercing Healing Time

Healing depends on placement, your body, and how consistently aftercare is followed. Lobes often settle faster, while cartilage areas usually take longer. Cartilage piercing sites, such as conch, rook, or upper ear placements, may take several months to feel fully stable.

Some piercings feel fine early on but still need patience beneath the surface. Pressure from headphones, sleeping on the area, or changing jewellery too soon can slow progress.

Aftercare Tips

We go over everything with you after your appointment, so you leave knowing exactly what to do. The basics are straightforward: clean the area regularly with sterile saline solution and keep your hands away from it as much as possible. Touching a fresh piercing with unwashed hands is one of the most common ways people run into problems.

We'll also walk you through the practical stuff – how to sleep without putting pressure on it and how to manage your daily routine without disrupting healing. The more consistent you are with the aftercare, the better your results will be.

Professional Ear Piercing Services in Vancouver

If you've been searching for a piercing studio in Vancouver and want something better than the average walk-in experience, The FALL is worth a visit. We run a professional studio where clean technique and genuine artistry go hand in hand – not one at the expense of the other. Every client gets the same level of attention, whether it's a single lobe or a complex curated project. Come in, talk through what you have in mind, and see for yourself what a difference it makes when the person doing the piercing actually cares about the outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s not sensation-free, but most clients find the brief discomfort entirely manageable. The level of sensation depends heavily on the location – a soft lobe is easier than the thick inner cartilage.

For initial piercings, we use implant-grade titanium or solid gold – full stop. Both materials are biocompatible, which means your body is far less likely to react to them. These materials give the piercing the best possible start and make the healing process smoother.

Yes, in many cases. We assess placement combinations and healing load first so the plan remains realistic and comfortable.

Yes, when it's done properly and at the right time. We don't pierce infants or babies. In our view, a child should be old enough to understand what's involved, clearly say they want it done, and take responsibility for the aftercare.

That's the baseline we work from. We only perform earlobe piercings for customers under the age of 16. The child must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, and both must present photo ID and sign a consent form.

Some people associate daith piercing with migraine relief, but there is no clinical evidence that it is an effective treatment, so it should not be presented as a proven medical solution.

When choosing a piercing studio, it’s worth prioritizing safety, high-quality jewellery, sterile technique, and the piercer’s professional experience. We invite you to experience the professional standard set by The FALL.
