The Ear-Piercing Wizard at Medusa

Getting a child's ears pierced, without tears or fear — with the Ear-Piercing Wizard method that Oliver, Medusa's founder, developed himself. Instead of a clinical procedure, a first ear piercing becomes a small piece of magic for kids.

What is the Ear-Piercing Wizard?

Oliver invented the Ear-Piercing Wizard concept to playfully take away children's fear of getting their ears pierced. Instead of a department-store piercing gun, our trained staff fits the earring using whichever professional method suits the earring and the child best — with a lot of patience, humor, and a little magic show that distracts the child. In our studio, Aaron is our Ear-Piercing Wizard. By the end, it feels to the kids like they magically made their own earrings appear.

Who is this for?

  • Children from about 4 years old — the age at which most kids already understand the meaning and responsibility of wearing earrings
  • Babies are also possible, at the parents' request
  • Most important is the child's own consent — no one is held down or talked into it
  • Also great for older kids and teens getting their first piercing

How it works

Good to know

  • School holidays or a stretch without gym class are a good time to do this — so the fresh piercing gets enough rest to heal.
  • We pay close attention to the child's age and maturity — in some cases we recommend waiting a little longer.
  • You'll get aftercare instructions directly from us in the studio.

Earrings for babies — common questions

From the studio floor

I invented the Ear-Piercing Wizard concept because I saw how much fear children often have about getting their ears pierced — and it really doesn't have to be that way. With a bit of magic, patience, and humor, the procedure becomes a little experience kids look back on fondly.

In our studio in Munich, Aaron has taken this over, and he brings just as much heart to it. But I still join in myself from time to time when the timing works out.
