Styling & Jewelry
What Is ‘Ear Styling’ and Why Is It Popular?
Ear styling is the art of curating multiple piercings and jewelry combinations to create a cohesive, fashion-forward look. Rather than a single piercing, it focuses on designing a personalized “earscape” that reflects your unique style. This trend is popular because it allows for self-expression, versatility, and a high-end aesthetic.
What Are the Best & Safest Metals for Piercing Jewelry?
Hypoallergenic metals like 14k and 18k gold and platinum are the best choices for piercing jewelry. These metals are durable, tarnish-resistant, and safe for sensitive skin. Lark & Berry offers fine piercing jewelry crafted from high-quality gold and platinum, ensuring both luxury and comfort for fresh and healed piercings.
Why Are Lab-Grown Diamonds Best for Piercing Jewelry?
Lab-grown diamonds are the best choice for piercing jewelry due to their exceptional durability, brilliance, and ethical sourcing. They offer the same hardness and sparkle as mined diamonds but are eco-friendly, conflict-free, and hypoallergenic, making them safe for sensitive skin.
Can I Upgrade or Change My Jewelry After My Piercing Heals?

Process & Safety
How Do You Ensure a Safe and Hygienic Piercing Experience?
At Lark & Berry, we prioritize safety and hygiene by following strict sterilization protocols. We use only medical-grade needles and single-use equipment to ensure a clean and safe experience. Every piercer is fully trained and certified, so you can trust our standards.
Why Does Lark & Berry Use Needles Instead of Piercing Guns?
Needles are far more precise, gentler on the skin, and help minimize trauma and infection risk. Piercing guns can cause blunt force to the tissue, making needle piercings a safer, more controlled option.
What Should I Expect During My Piercing Appointment?
During your piercing appointment at Lark & Berry, you can expect a personalized experience from start to finish. We begin with a brief consultation to discuss your preferred placement, jewelry options, and address any concerns. After thoroughly cleaning and marking the area, we gently perform the piercing.
Once complete, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and care.
Are Your Piercers Licensed and Certified?
Our professional piercers undergo extensive training and adhere to relevant local regulations in both London and Houston, ensuring expertise and consistent quality.
How Long Does It Take for an Ear Piercing to Heal?
Healing times vary, but most ear piercings take between 6–12 weeks to fully heal. Proper aftercare—cleaning and avoiding unnecessary touching—helps speed recovery.
Do You Offer Piercing Services for Sensitive Ears?
Yes! Lark & Berry specializes in offering piercing services for sensitive ears. We use hypoallergenic jewelry made from high-quality metals to minimize the risk of irritation and allergic reactions. Our expert piercers will help you choose jewelry that’s safe for your skin type, ensuring a comfortable and worry-free experience.
