I have two holes in each ear--both mall piercings, no issues.
I would never had a hole done if they used a needle, and I'm not afraid of needles!

My granddaughter had hers done at Claire's when she was about 10. Like a poster mentioned on the first page, they used too short of a post and the stud it was impossible to remove. It finally came through her ear lobe and out the back side of her ear! Horrible.  |

Congratulations to your daughter! My daughter had her's done at Claires around that age and it was just fine. I think a piercing studio would have been too intimidating for her, but never checked one out.

Congrats to her! My first piercings were done at JC Penny's salon when I was 10. The rest were all done at Claire's (or some place similar at the mall) except the one upper ear one I did myself with a stainless steel stud and ice. Yikes. Luckily, everything healed up normally.

Oh! I got my ears pierced when I was 19..... I went to a Dr. Because it was "safer" than the mall,,,,, he heated a needle in a Bunsen burner until it glowed and then pushed it through my ear! I could smell my flesh burning! It also took forever to heal! An untrained teen would have been better.

On an impulse I took my daughter to Claire's when she was 4 or 5 and got her ears pierced. When she started doing Pop Warner cheer we had to remove earrings & her ear lobes became infected so I just let her holes close up. She's almost 13 now & doesn't want her ears pierced again because she thinks getting them re-pierced will hurt. When I finally talk her into it again I plan on going to a body piercing shop because from what I've read it doesn't hurt as much.

Look how cute your DD is. That's a big deal getting them done one at a time.

For dd, the idea of a needle going through her ear slowly was torture. The needle is just as fast as the gun. I had my first set done in a DR.'s office by the doctor with a needle. It was NOT fast and it was very painful. Years later I had a second set done at Claires with a gun. Fast and little pain. Everyone's experience with a needle or gun must be different! |

Did they use a hollow needle? I wonder if that's the difference...

She is adorable. I hope she is happy with her newly pierced ears.

My daughter decided she wanted hers done when she was 4. We went to Claires and she got them done, one at a time. A few tears, but no big deal. We were walking around the mall afterward, and they still hurt a little and she said she wanted to go back and get them "un-pierced".  She's 15 now and wants second holes, so she wasn't too traumatized. She can't wear really cheap earrings though, her ears get infected easily. Surgical steel are best for her. |
