This is all wrong! please do not take your child to claires to get their ears pierced, do some research of places in your local area. Claires use piercing guns which are very unhygenic, as is piercing someones ears in a dusty shop window. Training given in piercings to those that work in claires is minimal and the advice that they give afterwards can cause infection to earrings such as ‘make sure you twist the stud morning and night’, you should not do this as it moves dirt back into the piercing. I had my first ear piercings done when i was younger in a reputable jewellars who used proper gold studs, not cheap ones. it only cost £4 more than at claires and was definately worth paying the extra money. I never had any problems with the piercings and the piercing was straight! This is just my advice, you don’t have to take it but just thought it might help someone

I’m 12 and i just had my ears pierced at Claires. I have to say, it wasn’t so bad, and even though I cried, it was BEFORE the actual piercing. The anticipation was killing me.
Basicly, the waiting was the worst part of it all. Getting my back-to-school shots were worse than the ear piercing. But it still took me about a day for the pain in my ears to go away, and I couldn’t get to sleep cause when I tried to turn to my side it felt like my ear piercing experience. The pain just stopped today.
But now for the babies ear piercing thing. I personally think that yes, a baby’s ears should be pierced at a young age, between 8-12 months of age. They don’t get that awful feeling in their stomache while they’re waiting for it to be done, because they don’t know what’s about to happen, and then the pain is one spilt second, and boom! It’s done and over with. The baby won’t even remember the ear piercing, and now that their ears are pierced, when they go to school they won’t succumb to peer presure as everyone else’s ears get pierced. It is possible that they will become one of the most popular kids later on, and this can boost the child’s self-esteem. So this is why I agree to early ear piercing.

Mother Of 5:
its a peircing, NOT a tattoo, if they decide when they are older that they do not want it, so let it be, let them take them out and HEAL OVER! unlike a tattoo, it heals over!
its no different then the baby going for a needle! except that theres a stud involved. If it was bugging my daughter, i would have taken them out, but there not, so I’m keeping them in!

got my daughters done at 5 months, i have another post on here about getting it done
she was amazing! she only cried because we had to hold her head still, and she didnt like that to much. We got them done at peoples jewelers. I would advise everyone to get them done there, they have special backings that are closed and rounded off so theydont poke the baby behind the ears, will cost alot more, but you know they are GOOD earings and a good gun and anticeptic, i think it was $60 for cubic diamonds!
so cute!!
