From Grandma’s Lap to Modern Homes: How Ear Piercing Traditions Are Evolving

There was a time when ear piercing was a family ritual, carried out by a trusted elder or local goldsmith, often on grandma's lap, amidst prayers and blessings.

Today, while the emotion remains timeless, the way we approach ear piercing is changing fast - with a strong focus on safety, hygiene and professionalism.
