Large Ear Lobe Piercings
Large lobe piercings are traditional lobe piercings done at a larger gauge, ranging from 10g to 4g. Starting with a larger gauge provides a head start on your stretching journey, allowing you to reach your desired size more quickly and safely. Extra large lobe piercings, starting at 2g and larger, are for those who prefer a large hole punched or cut out of the ear, provided they have enough room on the lobe to do so.
The process of piercing has evolved significantly, and we use sterile, single-use, disposable needles with aseptic technique to ensure the cleanest, quickest, and safest procedure. Our standard jewelry option for large and extra large lobe piercings is glass plugs, which are comfortable and ideal for the initial healing period.
We offer large lobe piercings at a starting cost of $58 for a single lobe and $100 for both lobes. The piercing fee is $45 for a single lobe and $75 for both. Extra large lobe piercings start at $68 for a single lobe and $120 for both, with the same piercing fees. These piercings typically heal within 8 to 10 weeks.
