Jewelry & Watches Fast Facts, Last Updated:09/08/2010
Some of the earliest commercial, non-medical locations for getting an ear piercing appeared in the 1960s at Manhattan jewelry stores, although the overall commercial market was still in its infancy. By the 1970s, ear piercing was common among many females, thus creating a broader market for the procedure. Department stores throughout the country would hold ear piercing events, sponsored by earring manufacturers, where a nurse would push a sharpened and sterilized starter earring through the earlobe by hand. This ultimately led to the modification of the ear piercing instrument so that it could be easily used by non-physicians. Today, most people in the Western world have their ears pierced with an ear piercing instrument in specialty jewelry or accessory stores, or at home using disposable ear piercing instruments.
