As of 2022, some Walmart locations offer ear piercing services. This only applies to Walmarts with jewelry counters, and even some jewelry counter locations might not offer this service. Walmart offers ear piercing services in about ⅓ of their stores (3400 piercing locations total).
However, Walmart did cease its ear piercing services in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and some locations never recommenced the service. So, if you want to be super sure that your local Walmart offers ear piercing, call or visit ahead and ask for the jewelry counter.
Now, just because Walmart does offer ear piercing doesn’t mean that they should. Or that anyone should take advantage of this service. Why? The main reason is that Walmart uses piercing guns rather than hollow piercing needles. Piercing guns are infamous for malfunctioning and making the healing process far more stubborn and painful.
How Does Ear Piercing Work At Walmart? (types + Cost)
Professional body piercing (the kind that happens at tattoo and piercing shops) is done with hollow needles, meaning that a very small segment of skin is removed to make room for the body jewelry.
Piercing guns, however, force a hole through the tissue, which can create scarring and bruising and make it much more difficult to heal your piercing. Piercings done with a piercing gun are much more likely to get infected and/or be rejected by your body.
Anyone who wants to get their ears pierced must either be 18 years of age or older or be accompanied by a consenting parent or legal guardian. With parent permission, there is no minimum age requirement.

The only part of the body you can get pierced by a Walmart employee is the ear lobe. The piercing service is free, but you have to pay for the body jewelry, which sells for an average of about $10.
Some Walmart locations may also be willing to pierce the upper cartilage of the ear, but Walmart will not pierce any of the inner parts of the ear beyond the ear lobe.
Getting your ears pierced at Walmart is actually completely free. The only catch is that you have to purchase your body jewelry from the Walmart Jewelry Counter. Your options will be limited to a select range of earrings consisting of plain studs.

Aftercare is the most important part of getting a part of your body pierced. Without proper care and cleaning, body piercings can easily become infected. In the worst cases, infected body jewelry may have to be removed completely and the piercing allowed to heal over.
Take it from these folks on Reddit , including one person who used to work as a piercer at the Walmart Jewelry Counter:
In response to the Quora question “Is it safe to get your ears pierced at Walmart?” one user offered some very sound advice:

If nothing else, take it from me: I got my ears pierced with a piercing gun when I was 10, and it was the worst body piercing experience I’ve ever had (I now have 8 piercings total). I can’t speak to Walmart’s services specifically (because I would never dare), but I can firmly recommend against ever getting a piercing with a piercing gun, due to all of the aforementioned reasons.
This depends on the location. Walmart ear piercing services are open during the same hours as the Walmart Jewelry Counter. Contact your local Walmart to find out their hours of operation.

Technically, Walmart is a place you can go to get your ears pierced. They offer a wide range of body jewelry and will pierce your ears for free once you pay for your earrings. Unfortunately, because of the methods they use, they’re not a place everyone should go for a piercing.
Piercing guns are known for being hazardous, unsanitary, and outdated due to the technology they rely on. Hollow needles are the way to go when it comes to body piercing, and the only place you’re going to find those is at a tattoo shop or body piercing shop. Leave it to the professionals, and save the Walmart Jewelry Counter for things that don’t require putting holes in your body.
