Yes claires is fabulous with ear piercing. I strongly agree that claires is the best place to get it done. I had mine done at claires and I was out within 2 minutes and I didnt cry! It didn't hurt at all. I'm only 9 years old and it went fine.
I know a few people who had it done at a few other places and they ended up going to claires to get it re-done. So I strongly think that claires is the best place to get your ears pierced.
All Claire's stores do ear piercing, some have the "piercing station" at the back of the store. Be sure they wear gloves when they pierce you and they don't touch anything else with the gloves, just you and the piercing gun. (keep in mind they are not licensed or inspected to provide any form of piercing service)
Body Piercing Guidelines or "I want a piercing, now what"
You have to be 16 at least anywhere in Canada to sign for your own piercing
It's mostly ear lobe and if you are trying to pierce somewhere else like your cartilage I would suggest a tattoo and piercing shop because Claires uses piercing guns and those can shatter your cartilage and cause nasty infections because of it
Wal-Mart, Claires, and any Tattoo parlor.
Sears, Claires, thats all that i know of
It is free when you buy the starter earrings, though I would highly recommend going to Piercing Pagoda, which is also free with earrings.
When using a piercing gun (such as those they use at Claires) the collapse of your ear cartilage is a possibility. Also, with any piercing, there is the chance of infection if not cleaned properly as instructed by your piercer.
That I am aware of, Claire's does not pierce lips. The piercers at claires are only trained specifically in ear piercing, they have not undergone the training of a tattoo/piercing tech.
I am not sure what you mean. If you mean that once you have one piercing, will they do a second ear piercing for you, then yes they will. they're really good too!
The piercing is free, you just pay the cost of the earrings you want. They range from about 20 to 40 bucks. You also get the bottle of solution to clean it with.
the cartalages usually are around 20-30 bucks. i have 5 in my cartalages, and i get mine done at claires so it run in between 20 and 30 dollars.
Technically they say that the piercing is free and you have to pay for the jewelery. But since they use guns, they have to use the jewelry to pierce your ears. So, ultimately, you do have to pay. If I were you, I wouldn't go to claires. They aren't professionals and guns are HORRIBLE. I could rant on this forever but just do some google searches and I"m sure that you won't use a gun.
Ear cartilage piercing, yes and................
