Some Inverness earscape ideas for piercing formations

On-trend piercing

Inverness’s piercing earrings are constantly evolving to ensure the very latest styles and trends are available.

As you may have noticed, multiple ear-piercings are in. Gorgeous earscapes and curated ears are all over social media and the high street. The Inverness Ear-Piercing system is designed to pierce not only the earlobe but the outer cartilage areas of the ear too. This makes complete ear design a service you can offer to your clients.

Inverness: style, sterility, substance

Inverness offers a wide range of hypoallergenic metal choices, including 18ct, 14ct and 9ct gold, 24ct gold plate, medical-grade stainless steel, and medical-grade titanium.

All Inverness piercing earrings meet the most stringent global standards. As beautiful as the earrings are, it’s how they are made that will give you true peace of mind. They use only the best materials available. All Inverness piercing earrings are hypoallergenic and made with ultra-thin piercing posts and a finely honed tip for the gentlest piercing possible.

Case study: Studio Aberdeen

Sammy McDonald, owner of Studio Aberdeen, decided to take Inverness Safe and Gentle ear piercing into her salon after her daughter experienced a piercing and was impressed by the system. McDonald says a big selling point was having a trainer come to the salon to train all staff onsite.

Not only does Inverness pierce with a hand-pressured instrument but it also uses earrings with a surgical honed point, which are as sharp as a needle. Not to mention the large range of metals and styles which are available to pierce both the ear lobe and cartilage, along with a disposable system for piercing the nose.

As Studio Aberdeen’s new location was close to opening in December, McDonald arranged for a launch night to take place offering treatments throughout the salon with ear piercing on the menu. Expecting to have a handful of clients wanting the service, to the team’s amazement a long queue formed for ear piercing and ended up being the busiest part of the night.

“Taking Inverness into the salon has been fantastic from the start. The trainer travelled all the way to us to train eight of our team,” says McDonald. “Our clients have been delighted with the new service and we have pierced over 300 ears so far.

The kit provided was a good price, the mark up on the jewellery is good and the selection is fantastic. The support from the brand has been great. We are excited to offer so many exciting safe services.”
