Best Places For Ear Piercings In DFW

The outcome of ear piercing, while favorable and stylish, is often overshadowed by fear of whether the piercing will be painful, sterile and easy to maintain. Fortunately for DFW residents, there are several establishments that are well-regarded as being the best locally for their customer service, technique and attention to detail when it comes to ear piercings. These are the best places for piercings near you.

La Lobe Piercing Salon
8306 Kate St., Suite 2
Dallas, TX 75225

Just as the name indicates, La Lobe is reputable in the DFW community for being one of the best locations in the area for piercing your ear lobes. La Lobe uses a virtually painless hand procedure for ear piercings rather than the unreliable and old-fashioned method of using a piercing gun. In addition to ranking low on the pain scale, La Lobe is also beloved in the community for being sterile and going to great lengths to ensure that its customers are provided with the proper maintenance tips to keep their piercings free from infection. Most notably, La Lobe specializes in baby piercings and recommends piercing your little one's ears between three weeks to three months old. For those aged 18 years and younger, a guardian must be present, and both the minor and guardian must show a valid picture ID, a birth certificate for the minor, or a family insurance card with both the guardian and minor listed.
