Rowan is all about ears. We offer a fun, celebratory and safe piercing experience for everyone. All our piercings are done by licensed nurses and all our products are hypoallergenic. When we say “Piercing for All”, we mean it. Everybody is invited to this ear party.
Got my flat and conch pierced a little over a week apart and am very happy with both piercings. When I went on a Saturday (with an appointment), they were short staffed and had a bit of a wait, but I was extremely happy with the quality of the jewelry, professionalism of the staff, and cleanliness of the establishment. The second time I went in was on a Monday evening and there was zero wait time and the whole process took about 15 minutes.
I was pleasantly surprised with how low the pain level was and how well the staff prepared me (physically and mentally) for the actual piercing moment. I'll definitely go back when I'm ready for another piercing!

Our piercer was nurse Michelle and she was amazing. The piercing area was very clean. She was very thorough, kind and very efficient. She took her time to measure and make sure that both piercing sites for our infant were at the same place and even. She was very gentle and worked very well with our baby. We are very satisfied with the outcome and she gave us a clear instructions on aftercare as well and as well as our follow up for ensuring that the piercing is healing well.

Loved the place. Very clean and the esthetic was great. Took our daughter this morning to get her ears pierced. She’s only 15 months but the nurse yin (I’m not sure if that’s how her name is spelled) she was fantastic and very informative About the overall process and how to take care of the piercings. Customer service was great and every one was joyful.

Honestly can't say enough wonderful things about Rowan Piercing at Downtown Crown. I took my daughter (who joined two friends) for their ear piercings and I decided to get a helix piercing as well (pictured below).
The space was so clean, bright, and cheerful and I loved the selection of beautiful, hypoallergenic piercings.
The best part was the whole team -- Nurse Jess was so kind (there were a lot of emotions running amongst the elementary school crowd) - she remained super upbeat and calm. Everything was done with sterile technique - she was clean and fast. The kiddos got bravery certificates
Additionally, my daughter managed (just two days later) to ram into a friend, snag and break the earring (and my husband removed the earring!!). The Rowan team got her back in IMMEDIATELY, fixed it, and replaced her piercing for free.
We would 100% recommend this site (and especially wonderful Nurse Jess) for their expertise and cleanliness. We're so happy that we came here.
