Vancouver is getting ready for one of its most colourful summer weekends. Carnaval del Sol returns from July 10 to 12, bringing Latin American music, dance, food, art, and community celebrations to Jonathan Rogers Park.
Whether you are planning to enjoy the performances, join the celebrations, or spend the weekend exploring the city, a fresh piercing can be the perfect finishing touch for your summer look.
Celebrate Culture Through Personal Style
Festivals are a chance to celebrate music, identity, creativity, and community. They are also the perfect opportunity to express your personality through fashion, jewelry, and body art.
A new piercing can add something unique to your festival style without changing your entire look. From a subtle nostril stud to a carefully styled ear, even a small detail can make a big difference.
Popular Piercings for Festival Season
Some of the most popular choices for summer events include:
- Helix piercings
- Double and triple lobe piercings
- Nostril piercings
- Conch piercings
- Flat piercings
- Curated ear styling
Our piercers can help you select a placement and jewelry option that complements your features and personal style.
Upgrade Your Jewelry for the Weekend
Already have healed piercings? A jewelry upgrade is another great way to refresh your look before attending Carnaval del Sol.
You can create a bright and expressive style with gemstones, decorative ends, or coordinated pieces across multiple piercings. For something more minimal, simple titanium or gold-toned jewelry can create a clean and modern look.
Jewelry should only be changed once the piercing has healed sufficiently. Our team can assess your piercing and help determine whether it is ready for an upgrade.
Summer Piercing Aftercare
Festival weekends often involve warm weather, crowds, dancing, and long days outdoors. Proper aftercare is especially important during this time.
Remember to:
- Avoid touching your piercing with unwashed hands.
- Keep makeup, sunscreen, and hair products away from the area.
- Avoid swimming while the piercing is still healing.
- Do not remove or rotate the initial jewelry.
- Follow the aftercare instructions provided by your piercer.
Getting pierced shortly before an event is possible, but your new piercing must be protected from pressure, dirt, and unnecessary contact.
