Looking for Ear Piercing

Claire's in Walnut Creek (Broadway Plaza) was great for my seven year old. I also recommend having each ear pierced at the same time (two employees, one for each ear), just in case... my daughter would not have had the other one done if we didn't do this. Good luck!

I have 13 holes in my ears and have always gone to either Clair's or Limited Too. Not sure if Limited Too still pierces, but they used to have cuter piercing earrings than Clair's. The methods are sterile either way and the really important thing is that you teach your daughter how to properly care for her new piercings and continued good care of her ears.

I highly recommend Fura Bodyworks in Castro Valley. Ask for Mel, the owner. He pierced my daughter's ears at age 6. He was very professional, and the studio is very clean.

I took my daughter at 11 months to Claire's in Stoneridge Mall, Pleasanton. The girl did a great job and it's been 2 months with no problem. I was skeptical at first, but it worked out fine!

Mine and my daughters were both done at the mall.

Even having it done at walmart or a kiosk at the mall is good...
They now use self piercing ear rings so there is no worry about sanitary issues of needles.

As long as you use real earrings and keep them clean...they should be fine done at the mall. Back in the day my mom took us to the pediatrician. I thought she was funny....but now i understand why.

Ironically...my 13 year old is on vacation with her girlfriends family. She just called to see if they could get their second holes pierced. I told her the same thing. She has to pay the extra price for real earrings...and if she does not keep them clean i am taking them out.

I wanted to get my babyes ears pierced young and I was worried about the people at the mall doing it. I called my dr's office but they didn't do it, and didn't know anyone in the network who did. Someone suggested to me to look for a real Jewelry place, not just a pagoda in the mall. It took me awhile but I finially found a Jewelry store, with nothing but real Jewelry, and a guy who was very experienced. I'm not in your area so I am sorry I can't recommend somwhere, but I understand your worry.
The reason I didn't want to go to the mall is because I have had a ton of piercings in my ears (13 holes, but I have been pierced more then that), and the people at the mall messed up some of them. They were crooked, and uneven. So I definately didn't want that for my baby. =) Good Luck!

I did not read your posts but how bout the pediatrician or if she goes to a famly Dr much safer and sterikle ask them? L.

ear piercing is very easy and little chance of complications, almost any kids jewerly store in the mall will do it, get gold so that infection will not happen easily
