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.
Definitely recommend! This is a very welcoming space with such kind professionals! They took extra time making my young daughter feel at ease when getting her ears pierced.

Had a great experience today. My daughter has been so excited to get her ears pierced but also super nervous. The staff/nurses were incredibly patient and kind. She eventually went through with it and is thrilled with her pierced ears. Thank you!

I visit today with my 2 months old baby, and it was such a great experience. Everyone was kind and patient, and the nurse did an excellent job placing her earrings perfectly!

I’ve been to Rowan a few times now and have had both Ty and Carissa pierce my ears; they do an amazing job and the entire staff is SO friendly and accommodating. Carissa did our (my mom and my) piercings this most recent time- they look fabulous. The whole process is quick and easy, and most importantly CLEAN. Carissa was lovely! (Ty was too the time before this) I’ll definitely come back.

I brought my kids to see Santa and wanted to get my ears pierced. Assuming it would take too long or be too much of a hassle with two little kids, I continued on my walk around Stuyvesant. I decided to go back, without an appointment (even though I would recommend making one) I was immediately helped by Carissa. She helped me with earring selection, walked me through the process, painlessly pierced my third hole and walked me through the aftercare. She was extremely thorough, personable and so sweet. I can’t wait to go back for my cartilage. And it is also right next door to Circles, my absolute favorite clothing store with the most amazing staff. Love that Rowan is right next door- highly recommend.
