Ear piercing

[Tori Lynne]

ok I've finally decided... after being on the fence on this one I have decided that I want to get Abby's ears pierced!!!

I didn't want to before because I think it was my way of keeping her a little baby. But now that she is starting to look like a toddler and becoming mobile I think she would be cute with little earings. So I've decided to do it!!!

So the question is where??? Where should I take her to get them pierced? For those of you who have had you babies ears pierced where did you go?

I took my daughter to a salon that did ear piercings..one tip is to ask if they have 2 guns that way both ears can be done at the exact same time, she might be so freaked out by the first earring that you might have a hard time getting the second one done kwim..and make sure they mark the spots on both ears with a marker so that if she moves they know where to shoot..they didn't do that with my oldest and she had to go back in a month after the mistake hole closed up and get done again..it broke my heart! oh and there is cream you can buy to numb the area but we didn't use it..someone on UB mentioned it but for the life of me I can't remember what it's called

You might check with her Pediatrician. Often they will do it too.

Thanks girls!! Abby will be getting her ears pierced TOMORROW!!! at 4:30 at my Ped's office. $51 including the studs. Not too bad.

For some reason I feel nervous and excited... like a little kid!!

YAY Tori!!! Good luck!! That isnt bad for the price. I think I paid $42 at Piercing Pagoda (where my ped told me to go, since her office didnt do it)

I had both of my girls done at the peds office too. I hope it goes well.

We paid $22 at Claires. Our pediatrician didn't do them.
