blessedmom3 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I heard about Walmart,but I don't feel safe going there. Any other place you'd recommend? Our ped doesn't want to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 dd6 was done at 3 months at claire's in the mall. Dd14 was done at 3 months by an aesthetician. Both were done well without problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdrinca Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 We took my daughter to the local tattoo/piercing parlor. It was...an experience. BUT I had no doubt that the piercer was well trained, and the equipment was all very sanitized. Plus, the piercer explained the differences in the piercing she used versus what you'd get at the mall - less painful, more sanitary, etc. We opted for a titanium stud since we have some history of nickle allergies in our family. If you Google around you'll see some discussion about the evils of mall piercing. I'm not entirely sure how bad they are. We just happen to live in an area where there is no local mall, but lots of tattoo parlors. Gotta love college towns! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starr Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I'm not sure the where is as important and the after care. *You* must be sure they are cleaned as directed and don't change out of the first ear rings for like, forever. At least as long as directed and often a while longer. We used Claire's. How old is your dd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairie~Phlox Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Tattoo parlor/piercing place. If you read about gun piercing vs. needle piercing it will make sense. We just had dd's done locally it was $35 and I tipped as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrunchyGirl Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Professional piercing shop. A hollow needle and skilled hands is not only drastically more sanitary and safe but also less painful and potentially damaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Another vote for professional piercing shop. In my state, it has to be one that does not do tattoos because no one under 18 may enter a tattoo parlor. The place we found for my oldest asked that we come in on one of their slowest afternoons, and the owner (a mom!) did it herself. Really fantastic experience.
