I brought my 5 year old daughter here to have her ears pierced, and the reason I'm giving 2 stars, instead of 1) is that I think the piercer is very kind. She was so sweet to my daughter, and I know she has a great heart. And she was very fast. 24 hours after the piercing was done, one of my daughter's earrings fell out. It had a screw back, so I can only assume it wasn't tightened well. Then the place was closed so we had to wait another 36 hours or so to get in.. so clearly the hole had begun to heal and we had to re-pierce that ear. After it was done, I looked at the backing (this time she used a rubber back) and I noticed that the new hole was in the middle of her lobe (which is great) but the first hole, that is now healing, was very high up. The hole would have been VERY angled. So I'm semi-glad we were forced to re-pierce it?? Because now it's a straight piercing. So today, that earring fell out again. The rubber back must have fallen off (not the piercer's fault.. but she suggested not using the locking backing because it can get crusty. I'LL TAKE CRUSTY! I'll just clean it very carefully.. rather than having to re-pierce yet again!) I decided to change the other rubber backing on the earring that was staying put, to a locking back. When I did this, I saw that THIS hole is totally crooked, too! I mean it is so angled that I'm considering taking it out and letting it heal, so she can have a normal piercing. To say I'm upset is an understatement. This is my precious brave daughter who sucked up not only having her ears pierced with a needle, one by one, but even sat through having it re-done 3 days later when I'm sure it was quite tender. My poor child. I have to think about this before I take it out, but I think it's probably for the best. I'll try to post a picture. I'm sure this piercer is wonderful for most piercings, but maybe take your child with basic lobe piercings elsewhere?? This has not been the experience I had hoped for. I thought I was doing the right thing by having this done by a professional piercer, but now I'm regretting my choice. Also, $100 later, I'm trying to decide if we should just start over? That's frustrating. Money isn't the main issue here, I'd pay a lot more if I could guarantee that this would be done properly. Read Less
