Piercings
Clean technique, thoughtful placement, beautiful jewelry.
Piercings at Root & Ritual are a slow, curated experience — Clorissa helps you map placement that works with your existing jewelry and ear shape, not against it.
We use implant-grade jewelry, single-use needles, and a sterile setup every time. Walk in with an idea, leave with a piece you'll wear daily.

Common Questions
Piercings start at $40 plus the jewelry you choose. Jewelry is priced separately because material and style vary widely, and Clorissa will quote your full total before anything is pierced.
Most guests describe a quick, sharp pinch that's over in a second or two. Eating a full meal beforehand and skipping alcohol for 24 hours makes the experience noticeably easier.
Earlobes generally heal in 6 to 8 weeks, while cartilage placements like helix or flat can take 6 to 12 months to fully settle. You'll get an aftercare card with a healing timeline for your specific placement.
Wait until the piercing is fully healed — that's about 8 weeks for lobes and several months for cartilage. Swapping too early is the most common cause of irritation bumps.
Only implant-grade jewelry, with single-use needles and a sterile setup every time. We'll help curate pieces that work with your ear shape and the jewelry you already wear.
