What's the number one thing you want people to know about Rowan?
“At Rowan, we provide ear piercings by licensed nurses only with hypoallergenic earrings always. I created Rowan because I wanted a piercing experience that was as safe as it was celebratory for my daughter. Ear piercing necessitates expertise, skill, and a keen understanding of hygiene to prevent adverse outcomes like infection and tissue damage. That’s why it is important that you choose to get pierced by a medical professional. Coupled with stringent guidelines and training of the Rowan Clinical Piercing Standard, Rowan nurses ensure that ear piercing is safe, hygienic, and worry-free.
