A Warm, Welcoming Piercing Experience Designed for Everyone
At The Zap Bar, we’ve created a luxury ear and nose piercing studio that feels calm, elevated, and inviting. From the moment you walk in, you’ll notice the difference — soft lighting, a clean professional setup, and a boutique atmosphere designed to make you feel comfortable and confident. Whether you’re booking your child’s first lobe piercing, starting your ear styling journey, adding a bold conch, flat, or helix, or choosing a subtle nostril piercing, our space is intentionally designed to make the experience feel relaxed, personal, and special.
We Specialize in First-Time Piercings & Ear Styling
We specialize in first-time piercings and curated ear styling. Many clients choose us for milestone moments like first earrings, and we take pride in making those experiences calm, memorable, and professionally done.To help with any anxiety we offer both face massagers to help distract from discomfort as well as Zap Bar teddy bears to squeeze for the littles. Beyond initial piercings, we offer over 80 different high-quality implant-grade titanium flatback studs, allowing you to build a fully customized ear stack that fits your style. After your piercings have fully healed, you can return for jewelry switch-outs to refresh and evolve your look.
All initial piercings are performed with a beautiful, implant-grade titanium medical-grade stud for optimal healing. Titanium is lightweight, hypoallergenic, and ideal for sensitive skin, making it the gold standard for safe, comfortable healing.
Professional Ear & Nose Piercing Services
We perform all piercings using single-use, sterile hollow needles — never piercing guns. This method allows for precise placement, minimal tissue trauma, cleaner piercings, and better healing outcomes. We currently offer lobe piercing (first, second, and third lobes), helix piercing, flat piercing, conch piercing, and nostril (nose) piercing. Every appointment includes a placement consultation tailored to your anatomy, jewelry styling guidance, and detailed aftercare instructions to support proper healing. Our focus is not just on the piercing itself — it’s on creating a polished, confidence-boosting result that complements your style.
Minor Piercing Policy
For clients under 18 years old, a parent or legal guardian must be present at the appointment and provide a valid photo ID. A notarized Minor Consent Form is required and can be downloaded under the “Forms” section of our website prior to your appointment and or by clicking the button below. These policies are required by the Florida department of health and ensure safety, legality, and peace of mind for families.
Aftercare Instructions
Proper aftercare is essential for optimal healing and long-term results. We recommend cleaning your piercing twice daily with sterile saline solution, avoiding twisting or unnecessary touching, and avoiding sleeping directly on new ear piercings. It’s important to avoid swimming in pools, lakes, or hot tubs during the initial healing period and not to change jewelry until the piercing is fully healed. Average healing times are approximately six to eight weeks for lobes, three to six months for helix and flat piercings, four to nine months for conch piercings, and three to six months for nostril piercings. We review all aftercare instructions in detail during your appointment and remain available if you have questions while healing.
If you’re looking for luxury ear piercing in Inverness or professional nose piercing near Crystal River and the surrounding areas, The Zap Bar offers a refined, welcoming piercing experience focused on safety, precision, style, and long-term ear curation.

What Our Clients Are Saying..

Krysta G
I took my 9 year old daughter here to get her ears pierced. She was very nervous, but Dylan was extremely patient with her, and so sweet! After my daughter’s ears were done, we were able to get customized permanent jewelry. My 9 year old chose a necklace and I picked out a bracelet. It was such a fun experience and I know a core memory was made for my daughter. I cannot wait to go back and get more jewelry! I highly recommend The Zap Bar!

The Zap Bar experience was so awesome! Me and my sister were visiting Crystal River and wanted to get piercings. We found Zap Bar on TikTok and it did not disappoint! Dylan was super sweet and very communicative. She was very quick to answer any questions we had. The Zap Bar was so clean and so cute on the inside and as for the overall experience, we had a great time getting the piercings done! Thanks again Dylan!

Dylan was absolutely so nice, and her place was super cute and very clean! She was super clean and gave me tons of options helping me decide the right piercing before we pierced it, and even had tons of gorgeous pieces of jewelry to pick from too. I’m in love and will definitely go back for all my piercing and jewelry needs! I definitely recommend, everyone going to her
