Piercing Q&A

PIERCING Q&A — Everything You Need to Know Before You Get Poked

How do I book?

Click the Linktree in our Instagram @sugarandlola to snag your appointment! Or call the store at 843-212-7646. Each session is 15 minutes long — plenty of time to pick your earrings and get pierced. Amy Loper, our trusted nurse practitioner (and needle queen), comes twice a month to do the honors.

How much does it cost?

Amy uses a needle after numbing the ear, because we believe in beauty without brutality. Her fee is $60 for two holes, and $20 for each additional one. Earrings are purchased through Sugar & Lola — 14k gold ball studs start at $68 and crystal studs at $75. We also have a drool-worthy collection including flat back studs ranging from $98 to $500 if you want to level up your stack.

Can I bring my own earrings?

We ask that you choose your earrings from our curated Sugar & Lola collection. They’re vetted, beautiful, and perfect for a safe and stylish piercing.

What piercings do you offer?

We currently offer lobe, upper lobe, conch, cartilage, and rook piercings. If you’re not sure which one’s which, we’ll happily guide you at your appointment.

What’s the aftercare situation?

You’ll leave with a full aftercare guide and the lowdown on healing time (which varies by person and piercing). We also have wound wash and gauze available for purchase if you want to be fully stocked from the get-go.
