Tribal Expression Kids has unique approach to professional, single use needle ear lobe piercing. Our fun, calming, interactive approach makes the experience for 5 to 12 yrs old a great time. We are working hard to provide a lot different of an experience than what has traditionally provided from the “gun piercings in the mall”.

It’s fun and special when they get off the piercing table with fresh pierced ears and look at them in the mirror for the first time, they are super proud of themselves and we love to celebrate that experience with them!

After much thought and discussion Tribal will no longer pierce infants and children from 1 to 4 years old. Over many years of experience we have found that we can provide a top level service on children from 5 and up, we are confident that we can always provide a positive, special experience that both you and your child can remember for the rest of your lives.

Jewelry Options

The body jewelry industry has advanced so much in the last 15 years and has brought us new and innovative designs for earlobe jewelry. The days of the butterfly backing are over and consumers are more conscious about using high-quality, safe products when it comes to their children- that’s where we come in!

Did You Know That Tribal Expression manufactures most of our own Implant grade jewelry here in Calgary? We have our own dedicated team / factory to supply our brand to ensure quality, design, inventory control, avoid price increases, but most importantly to support local and support local artisans to manufacture high quality body jewelry here in Calgary :)

The quality of the jewelry worn in a fresh/healing piercing is incredibly important and can either make your child’s first ear piercing experience a dream or a nightmare. All of the jewelry at Tribal Expression is implant-grade quality, we offer items in stainless steel, titanium, and solid 14k gold; the price point will vary depending on the material and the style but, it is all perfectly fine to use for your child’s piercings.

Piercing your child’s ears with either rings or studs is an option but, there are some considerations to take into when making this decision. All of our jewelry is priced per piece and our studs are sold in two separate pieces; our jewelry stylists will thoroughly go over all of the options and the pricing with you before the actual piercing appointment begins.

Price points can be vastly different from piece to piece so if at any time you have any questions about your total or how our pricing works, let us know. We do have many other options available if you are working within a budget.

There are so many reasons why bringing your child to see a professional piercer as opposed to someone in a mall is a better and safer option, here are just a few.

There are so many reasons why bringing your child to see a professional piercer as opposed to someone in a mall is a better and safer option, here are just a few.

• The Individual sterilization methods we practice at Tribal are above and beyond anything that can be achieved in a mall setting.

• Utilizing Statim autoclaves and running individual cycles for each client allows us to achieve the highest level of sterilization which is documented with a printout that ensures us the autoclave reached the required temperature and pressure to achieve sterilization. We also use a class5 load integrator in each cycle to insure sterility

• Each piece of jewelry, disposable needles and any tools needed to perform the piercing, will be sterilized for just your childs piercing procedure. This Sterilization Procedure is also Visible through a window in to our sterilization area.

• The jewelry typically used with gun piercings tends to be of a lower quality, this results in longer healing times and inevitable problems for those of us with any sensitivity to metals.

• Having to twist and turn the gun jewelry due to the poor quality and “healing” to your jewelry will only disrupt your healing cycle and introduce bacteria into the piercing, again resulting in longer healing times and infections.

• The “butterfly” back design can also be incredibly hard to keep clean and can be a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. These can also be squeezed hard on the back of the ear, making it hard to clean or pinching off blood supply causing swelling. This in turn can cause to a painful trip to the hospital or tribal expression for a consulataion.

• “Mall aftercare” and the method of cleaning are also outdated; just as piercing has come a long way in the past few years so has aftercare and there are better products to use now.

• At Tribal we will Take care of our clients, if ever you have problems we will take care or you!! We are of a old school business practice, our clients have built the foundation of our business and we take pride making you happy!

And finally, we must mention experience; any of our piercers dealing with children have been professionally trained not only in piercing but, also in sterilization, cross-contamination, wound healing and professional courtesy. Our piercers regularly attend the Association of Professional Piercers conference each year to continually educate themselves on new innovative techniques involving our industry.

All appointments for children must be made by calling the studio as we set aside specific Sundays to Thursdays. Our front counter staff will let you know all available dates upon booking the appointment.

At least 1 parent MUST be present for the appointment and be able to provide at least one form of a government-issued ID for themselves and their child. The service will not be provided without the proper identification. Answers to any other questions can be found under the Children’s FAQ section or by emailing us at booking@tribalexpression.com.
