Ready to get a collarbone piercing? Use our store locator to find your local Blue Banana Studio. There’s no need to book an appointment; you can simply go to the store of your choice and be pierced on the day.

Make sure to check the collarbone piercing age restriction before coming to store. It can help to avoid any undue disappointment. In a Blue Banana studio, the collarbone piercing age restriction is 18 (ID may be required) or 16 with parental consent from a parent or guardian who is present.

Once you’re all booked in, you will have some forms to fill out. A member of Blue Banana staff will go through the steps and can help you pick out jewellery. Then you can meet the piercer! They too will give you a quick consultation and briefing before discussing the collarbone piercing location.

The collarbone piercing procedure will vary depending on the type of piercing jewellery you have chosen. If you are having a microdermal collarbone piercing then the piercer will make a small hole in the skin using a needle or dermal punch and insert a dermal anchor using forceps. The piercer may clamp the area of skin when you are having a microdermal piercing.

If you are having a clavicle piercing with a staple bar, the staple bar will be passed under the surface of the skin so the piercer will first use a sterilised needle to create the channel before inserting the bar and fastening the balls.

Aftercare Advice

A collarbone or clavicle piercing can take 1-3 months to fully heal. The healing time varies from person to person and will need top aftercare to ensure successful healing.

During the healing process, it is important to avoid knocking the piercing or putting pressure on the area as this will slow down healing and can even cause unnecessary problems. During healing make sure not to wear necklaces, scarves or certain clothing that will rub against the piercing. You may find it best to tie up your hair to avoid it catching on your new piercing.

The location of a collarbone piercing means that you may find it easier to clean your piercing while looking in a mirror. Gently clean your collarbone piercing twice a day with salt water solution, aftercare piercing or Tea Tree Oil by bathing it using cotton wool.

Choosing Collarbone Piercing Jewellery

There’s plenty of options when it comes to collarbone piercing jewellery from Blue Banana. Some popular styles include:

Piercing Staple Bars
Collarbone Piercing Jewellery
Collarbone Dermal Jewellery

There are a range of colours and designs to choose from in our collarbone piercing jewellery range. When choosing your piercing jewellery there are a few things you should consider:

Jewellery Size – Make sure to find out from your piercer the size your collarbone piercing jewellery should be.
Jewellery Material – piercing materials differ not only through their look but also how they could react to your skin. If you have sensitive skin that is prone to irritation, one of the many Titanium jewellery options is recommended. This material comes in a variety of colours and is durable too!

If you regularly participate in sports, you may want to discuss the best piercings for you with your piercer. You may need to consider the type of clothing you wear and whether the sport you participate in could result in the piercing getting knocked.

When searching for a piece of jewellery make sure you know your measurements. We display the piercing jewellery measurements as Gauge first (displayed in millimetres) then Length, e.g. 1.2mm x 8mm.

Gauge – this is the thickness of the jewellery itself.
Length – the length of the piercing bar, usually not including the ball.

We generally recommend that for new piercings you choose longer jewellery. This can allow for extra room in case of any swelling. Make sure to check out the tips from our piercing guides for information about changing and removing piercing jewellery.
