Ear Piercings
The ear offers more piercing possibilities than any other body region. Discover the full variety at XS Piercing Basel.
The Variety of Ear Piercings
The human ear offers an astonishing variety of piercing possibilities. From the soft earlobe region to the various cartilage zones, almost every part of the ear can be adorned. At XS Piercing Basel, we offer not only aesthetic ear piercings but also therapeutic variants such as the Daith and Shen Men piercings, which are based on acupuncture points.
Every ear is anatomically unique. That is why we take extra time during the consultation to determine the optimal placement for your desired piercing. Not every ear is suitable for every type of piercing, and honest advice is more important to us than a quick sale.

Healing Times
Cartilage piercings generally take longer to heal than piercings in soft tissue. Expect 4 to 12 weeks depending on placement and individual healing. Consistent aftercare is essential throughout the entire healing phase.
Jewellery & Material
We exclusively use titanium initial jewellery (ASTM F136) that meets the highest biocompatible standards. After healing is complete, numerous jewellery options are available to you: rings, studs, barbells and decorative tops.
