I hadn’t thought about it much, but I just assumed that pretty much every little girl got her ears pierced by some teenager working at Claire’sin the mall. And I guess you could do that, but … why?
It sounds like a recipe for disaster. Infection, at least. I mean, I’m sure those super-responsible teens making minimum wage and excellent life choices totally give two craps about the job they do. It’s not like their parents still need to remind them to wash their hands before dinner. That gun they use to shoot your darling’slittle lobes? It’s probably safe and sterile, way better than a silly old-fashioned needle! Or maybe I’m being sarcastic. Read this informative article from
Fear not, good parent! There are other piercing options. Some doctor’s offices offer the service. A better choice than the mall, but — get real —those medical nerdsaren’t experts in the field.
Ear Piercing Northern Beaches
The experts don’t have multiple doctorates, they have multiple piercings. Their shirts are rolled up to reveal a complex and colorful sleeve of ink that tells a life story; sometimes that story involves a Mogwai.They’re not teenagers and they’re definitely not in the medical profession. They’re tattoo artists and professional piercers.
It may sound odd or even irresponsible to bring your innocentlittle lamb into this den of alleged miscreants and ne’er-do-wells, but tattoo parlors are the best place to get your child’s ears pierced. Also, quit being so judgy, jerkface.
A good tattoo parlor is maintained to exacting standards:cleanlinessis paramount. Tattoo artistsare well-trained and go through a certification process. The piercing needle they use is safer than a gun because it’s sharper and, unlike the gun, can be sterilized. A tattoo artist’s business is built on his reputation and his reputation is his business.
How To Clean An Ear Piercing: Top 10 Tips For Proper Care
In other words, unlike the kid at Claire’s, he actually gives a shit. As far as piercings go, anything goes.Professional piercers havedone noses, tongues, nipples and scrotums —
Last weekend, I took my daughter to get her ears pierced atArtisanal Tattooin Somerville, N.J. The place felt like adoctor’s office, but way cooler. The whole experience was fantastic. As we were walking in, Penny and I joked about the unicorn tattoo I would get … only to find out someone was actually getting a unicorn tattoo at that moment! I’m pretty sure it was a sign.
After a couple of minutes in the waiting room, flipping through tattoo ideas that I’ll never get but kind of want, the piercer came to get us and bring us to his partitioned office. He explained the process to Penny and took his time making sure the earring placement, marked with a drop of ink, was just right. He held her ear with a surgical-looking tool, slid the needle through, and put in her new earrings. She said it felt like a pinch and was proud of herself because the old pro told her she was braver than some grown men he’d seen. He even had a stack of juice boxes for recovery and gave Penny one. I’d write more about the process, but that was it. Super simple, sterile and professional. And, yeah, pretty cool.
Get Your Child's Ears Pierced At A Tattoo Parlor? Yes, You Should

He formally wrote the blog Amateur Idiot/Professional Dad.For many of us, getting your ears pierced is a rite of passage. And until my second daughter was old enough to want to do it, I had thought only of the mall gun-piercing option. It wasn’t until I saw an article online listing some reasons why you might want to take your kids to a reputable tattoo shop to get this major life event done, that I considered it an option. So, when my youngest daughter asked to get her ears pierced, I knew I would explore a local tattoo parlor this time around.
You must choose a reputable tattoo shop. Studio City Tattoo in Studio City, California immediately came to mind, as I have had many friends get tattoos there. I called to find out if they do kids’ ears piercing. They do! As a matter of fact, they have regular weekday times from 11am-3pm, set aside for kids’ ear piercings. I do think it’s recommended that you make an appointment, but we just walked in and only had to wait about a half an hour. Be aware, there are many shops out there that do not allow children in the facility.

(She was actually making a face at her brother watching her). What an amazing experience we had today. Thank you Steve! . . . We went to @studiocitytattoo . They pierce kids ears weekdays from 11-3pm. And they are immaculate, professional, amazing with kids and I couldn’t recommend them more! . . #bodypiercing #earpiercing #kidsearpiercing #StudioCity A post shared by Jessica Cribbs | Burbank Mom (@) on Aug 9, 2019 at 4:36pm PDT Why A Tattoo Shop For A Kids’ Piercing?

According to the Association of Professional Piercers, ” A number of states have made it illegal to use a piercing gun for any piercings besides the ear lobe – and with good reason. Most ear piercing guns can’t be sterilized, and anyone being pierced by them is at risk. A reputable professional won’t use a gun for any piercing – even for ear lobes.”
Here’s what our experience has been. Awesome! Steve, as seen above in the photo, was the best. He was kind and patient with my daughter and made it so easy and painless, as you can see in the video above. We are 4 weeks out and we haven’t hand one single goopy or crusty ear. Not a single one. I completely expected it, but it just didn’t happen.
Here’s another amazing thing we learned from this experience. We learned that you should never clean a new piercing with hydrogen peroxide and the solution that you’re normally given from the mall places. What what?! We were told that you should use a warm non-iodized salt and warm water solution and/or a warm wash with antibacterial soap, in the shower. And after our easy peasy 4 weeks, I’m a believer! We used these with warm water and salt to clean. Being able to squeeze the water to clean, makes it easy and effective.
