2nd Lobe Needle

The original and most popular piercing, the classic lobe. Whether it’s your first, second, third, or stacked lobe, our expert piercers make it safe, precise, and stylish. 

Jewellery: Pierced with a 16 gauge straight barbell, flatback post, or segment ring. Depending on anatomy, 14 gauge may also be used. 

Healing: Downsize to shorter sterile jewellery at 6–8 weeks. Wait at least 12 weeks before transitioning to a ring, and up to 6 months for full healing. 

Aftercare: Clean with sterile saline solution twice daily. Avoid swimming for 6–8 weeks. Try not to sleep on the piercing and be mindful of hats, glasses, headphones, and hair products. 

Available: First lobe piercings with needle are available from 5 years. Second lobes from 10 years, and third from 13; all with parental consent. From 16 years, no consent is required.  (Note: In WA you must be 18 years to obtain a piercing without consent.)
