Safety & hygiene

Inverness is the only ear piercing system in which the earring is fully enclosed and hidden in a protective capsule. To guarantee maximum safety and hygiene, the earring is released only the precise moment that the ear is pierced. No risk of harm or contamination!

Silent, delicate, precise & reliable

Inverness is also the first system to combine hand pressure and an encapsulated earring. This ensures a smooth, silent, precise and delicate ear piercing procedure, practically painless, the ideal system to use on young children. Piercing with Inverness is simple and quick. To remove the empty capsule, just press the button and it is automatically ejected, no need to touch it.

Where is the earring?

In the Inverness system, the earring cannot be seen! Other ear piercing systems claim to be safe yet their earring is clearly exposed to contamination. How safe do you want to be?

The best earrings for a delicate piercing

To ensure a very precise, delicate and almost painfree ear piercing, all Inverness earrings have a very thin post, 0.73mm, and a sharp tip. Another advancement in safety and technology is the unique non-adjustable « Safety Clutch ». This design provides the proper amount of space between the ear and the earring and protects the wearer from the tip of the earring.
