While the topic of piercing often evokes somewhat-terrifying memories of needles and guns, Rowan uses a piercing instrument that’s completely sterile, super quick, and I kid you not, borderline painless. Biz marked and re-marked my ear as many times as I wanted before I gave her the go-ahead, and I felt nervous but excited. I have a few freckles up top that look like piercings, so we chose a mid-ear spot to avoid covering them up. We settled on a third lobe piercing and two cartilage piercings around the middle of my ear for the curated earscape of my dreams.

“So much of it is personal,” Schneider told me, “so when a Rowan nurse does a skin and ear assessment, they’ll look at your ears and tell you your ears aren’t identical twins, they’re sisters.” Had I asked for a variety of random piercings that didn’t suit my ear shape, the final look wouldn’t seem quite so elevated. I wasn’t used to piercings planned based on my ears, not my wants, but that’s the key to nailing a flattering earscape. After talking to Schneider and Biz Shenk, my nurse and piercer, we numbed my ears using Lidocaine gel and Biz began assessing my ear shape to decide which piercings would suit me best. Still, I’m not going to lie-I was high-key nervous to get pierced. “Piercing is a form of self-expression, and it’s become more and more common for people to have a myriad of piercings, and it’s seen as really beautiful,” says Louisa Schneider, Rowan’s founder.
Safe and creative! I knew they’d be the perfect pick to help me achieve my earscape dreams. Fortunately I discovered Rowan, a piercing company and jewelry brand that ensures all piercings are performed by a registered nurse who doubles as an ear artist. Fast-forward to 25 and I haven’t hit up a Piercing Pagoda since, so when it came time to create my luxe, Insta-approved earscape, I wasn’t quite sure where to go.
As for my second hole, it was a 13th birthday gift, one I got purely to spite my younger sister who wasn’t allowed to get hers done. My Italian mother insisted 6-month-old me wear golden hoops in my ears, so I’ve had my first lobe piercing ever since I can remember. Prior to this endeavor, I’d been pierced but two times in my life. Calling All Barbiecore Fans: These “Super Comfortable” Versace Platform Dupes Are On Sale For $28
