We are proud to offer Inverness ear piercing system that uses a hand pressured instrument and earrings as sharp as a needle with a surgical honed point. Our piercing system is nothing like a gun.
Guns shoot a blunt, thick piercing stud through the ear using a spring/ trigger action. This is where it can damage / shatter the cartilage and cause discomfort to the lobe, therefore in many areas across the world guns have been banned from piercing.
Our Inverness Piercing Instrument is a Medical Grade 1 device which pierces the ear with a surgical honed piercing point, this allows the piercing to be very similar to a needle piercing and very safe. It will not shatter the cartilage and cause damage to the ear.
The hand pressured instrument is disposable so 100% sterile. You can choose a range of earrings from:-
- Stainless steel
- Titanium
- 9ct Solid Gold
- 24ct Gold Plated
All of our piercing earrings are hypoallergenic and made with ultra-thin piercing posts & a finely-honed tip for the gentlest piercing possible.

Why do you use the word “instrument”? Isn’t it a piercing “gun”?
No. In fact, we cringe when people call our piercing instrument a gun. Unlike our specially engineered, hand-pressured instrument, piercing guns are spring-loaded and LOUD. Piercing guns “shoot” the piercing earring through the lobe. Our human-powered instrument is designed to pierce the ear quickly and accurately in one smooth, quiet, hand-pressured motion.
