Ear lobe piercing in Amsterdam

We No Longer Use Ear Piercing Guns – We Only Offer Professional Piercing
In the past, you could get your ears pierced at Mijoux using the Studex® system. However, based on medical insights and years of experience, we’ve made the decision to only offer needle piercings from now on.
We still receive many questions about “getting ears pierced with a gun,” so we’d like to explain why needle piercing is safer, cleaner, and much better for healing—and why we no longer use piercing guns.
Why We Stopped Using Ear Piercing Guns
Although modern systems like Studex® are more hygienic than older versions, they still force the earring through the earlobe, which causes unnecessary trauma. This often results in:
- Slower healing
- Increased risk of infection
- Poor jewelry fit and material
- Less accurate placement
As a professional piercing studio, we prioritize quality, precision, and safety, which is why we exclusively offer needle piercings.
Professional Piercing Only – and Done Right
At Mijoux, all ear piercings (including lobes and cartilage) are done using sterile, single-use needles. This method:
- Causes less tissue damage
- Ensures better healing
- Allows for ideal jewelry sizing and material
- Provides precise placement and symmetrical results
We pierce earlobes from age 10 and up (with parental consent required up to age 16). We take our time with every client—no rushing, no pressure.
Lobe piercings (both ears) start from €75, including titanium jewelry.

Frequently Asked: “Can I Still Get My Ears Pierced at Mijoux?”
