ABSTRACT:
An earlobe piercing cartridge assembly for maintaining a piercing earring sterile during storage, handling and piercing is provided. The assembly includes a piercing earring including a piercing pin and an ornamental head which may have a large diameter compared to the diameter of the push rod, or may be made of a soft material, and from which the piercing pin projects. A cartridge uniquely configured to receive the piercing earring includes an elongated opening partially supporting the piercing pin, and a further opening proximate the ornamental head of the earring, and in longitudinal alignment with the elongated opening, the elongated opening having a smaller lateral dimension than the further opening. A shield is adapted to fit inside the cartridge between the ornamental head of the piercing earring and the further opening. The shield is also adapted to distribute the pressure across the ornamental head from a push rod which enters the further opening and facilitates smooth, low effort ear piercing with accurate axial alignment with the concentric or non-concentric ornament.
