Big News: Sunny Daze Sunless (+ Piercing) Now Offers Ear Piercing! Here’s What Makes It Safe, Stylish, and Different.

You know us for glow-worthy spray tans and feel-good-vibes — but now, we’re adding even more sparkle to your self care routine. Sunny Daze Sunless now offers professional ear piercing! Whether you’re booking for your little one’s first pair of studs or treating yourself to some new sparkle, we’re here to make the experience safe, fun, and totally stress free.

We use the Studex System 75, a modern, FDA-registered ear piercing system that’s lightyears ahead of the piercing guns many of us grew up with. It’s gentle. It’s sterile. And it’s designed to take the worry out of your ear piercing — especially for kiddos, parents, and anyone with sensitive skin.

If you’re curious about how it all works and why we chose Studex, let’s break it down!

How is Studex Different from the Old-School Piercing Gun?

If your last memory of ear piercing involves a loud click, a little fear, and maybe a trip to the mall… you’re not alone. But the Studex System 75 changes the game completely.

Piercing Guns (Old Style)	Studex System 75
Loud and spring-loaded	Quiet and gentle pressure – activated system
Resusable parts (risk of contamination)	Single-use, sterile, disposable cartridges
More tissue trauma	Smooth, precise stud placement with less impact

Is Studex Ear Piercing FDA Approved?

Yes, and that’s one of the biggest reasons I chose it for Sunny Daze! The Studex System 75 is FDA registered, meaning it meets strict standards for safety, cleanliness, and medical-grade materials. Each earring is pre-loaded into a sterile, single-use cartridge — so there’s zero cross-contamination and no handling of the jewelry.

Whether we’re piercing in-studio or at a mobile pop-up, everything stays squeaky clean and safe.

Studex Vs. Needle Piercing: Why Some People Choose Studex

There’s no shade to needle piercings — they’re still widely used by professional piercers, especially for cartilage or speciality placements. But, for standard earlobe piercings, many people (especially parents) choose Studex for a few key reasons:

Gentler for first-timers and kids
Quieter, less intimidating process
Faster healing time for many clients
Sterile, pre-packaged jewelry options in titanium, stainless steel, or 14k gold
More approachable experience overall

If needles make you nervous or you’re just looking for something super straightforward and safe, Studex is an amazing option.
