At Akasi Pharmacy, we are proud to offer professional, hygienic, and high-quality ear piercing in London for both adults and children. We understand that ear piercing can be a meaningful experience, whether it’s a baby’s first pair of earrings, a teenager’s special milestone, or an adult’s personal choice. Our service is tailored to ensure the highest levels of safety, comfort, and cleanliness.

Here’s what you can expect when choosing Akasi Pharmacy for your piercing needs.

Safe and Hygienic Piercing for All Ages

At Akasi Pharmacy, we adhere to strict hygiene and safety standards to ensure a professional ear and body piercing experience for every client. Our trained staff use sterile equipment, following procedures that prioritise safety and minimise discomfort. We only use high-quality, sterile earrings, including 24ct gold-plated and silver options, carefully selected to reduce the risk of skin irritation or allergic reactions.

We offer piercing services for adults and children from the age of 16 weeks, provided they are up-to-date with their vaccinations. For children, please bring along the Personal Child Health Record (commonly known as the “red book”) to confirm vaccination status. It’s important to us that parents feel confident in our service, and our staff will answer any questions to ensure you’re comfortable with the process.

Please note that while we are happy to provide ear piercing for young children, the decision to pierce will always remain at the discretion of our trained staff based on the child’s readiness and comfort level during the appointment.

Quality Earrings for a Comfortable Healing Process

Choosing the right earrings is essential for a successful and comfortable healing process. At Akasi Pharmacy, we offer a range of high-quality earrings, ensuring they are safe, stylish, and comfortable for all clients.

Post-Piercing Care for Optimal Healing

After receiving an ear or body piercing, proper aftercare is essential to promote healing and avoid complications. We recommend the following care tips to keep the pierced area clean and healthy:

1. Wash Your Hands Before Touching Your Piercing: Always wash your hands with warm water and antibacterial soap, then dry them thoroughly before touching the piercing or cleaning it. Clean hands reduce the risk of transferring bacteria to the healing area.

2. Keep Clothing and Bedding Clean: Any clothing or bedding that may come into contact with your new piercing should be clean. For ear piercings, avoid tight headwear that may rub against the earring, and be mindful of pillowcases that could irritate the area.

3. Clean with Saline Solution: We may advise gently cleaning the area with a sterile saline solution, which can help prevent infection and support healing. However, avoid over-cleaning, as this can cause irritation. Cleaning once or twice a day is typically sufficient.

4. Keep the Piercing Dry: Keeping the area dry also promotes healing. Avoid submerging the piercing in water, such as in swimming pools or baths, for the first few weeks, as this can introduce bacteria to the area.
