No, sorry. Claire's uses pre-packaged earrings to make sure that everything is sterile. AND if you buy an earring from Claire's, it can't be one off of the revolving rack, it has to be an earring from one of their display cases (which sit at the ear piercing station), and will probably run you anywhere from $13 to $35.
It is free when you buy the starter earrings, though I would highly recommend going to Piercing Pagoda, which is also free with earrings.
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
By the time you are done you would pay just as much if not more than you would have spent at a professional body piercing studio. Piercing guns are so out dated and the quality of the work just isn't what you should expect, go see a professional body piercer of all your piercing needs.
Bottom line piercing the cartilage is always problematic with piercing guns so I would tell you to see a real professional body piercer and get the piercing done with the basic jewellery to start then consider changing it once you have crossed the initial healing period.
I would suggest leaving the piercing to actual professional body piercers who have licenses and inspection reports to attest to there professional abilities, the life of the piercing gun in the hands of an untrained unqualified individual are over. Be smart with your piercings and your health and see an actual Professional Body Piercer. I disagree because i got my ears pierced at claires and my holes came out fine.... i guess its up to u but all you hav 2 do at claires is pay for the earrings and they pierce your ears for free so its up to u
Are you sure you can't use a normally onee? Well shot my friend did:? no you have to have a special nose stud. you can usually get those at sometimes walmart but i prefer going to the piercing parlor and buy some of those. regualr earings would fall out of your nose... the nose studs are shaped like an L so they wont/cant fall out of your nose. make sure you keep your nose clean and dont touch it without clean hands! ive had to re-pierce mine several times because it has gotten infected.
Yes, if they didn't, everything would be stolen.
I have never heard of anyone piercing a dogs ears but I can see all sorts of problems with doing so. The biggest one being that the dog could easily catch a earring on things and tear it out of it's ear which would be very painful for the dog. It could also get infected. I would suggest not piercing your dog's ears.
Well I would quit using the cleaner you are using and I would change the jewellery to a captive bead ring (available at any good body piercing studio). Once the ring is in the piercing rotate it under running water while showering and rinse the piercing daily (again in the shower). Don't use anything on the piercing, no cleaners, agents, just lathered and diluted antibacterial liquid soap and rinse with plenty of water daily. Watch hair sprays, conditioners and other hair treatment don't get onto or in the piercing. The bubble you have should start to dry up in about 48~72 hours following these simple instructions.
First look at the shape of the earring and imagine how it would go through someone's ear. If it still won't go through then clean your ears. It may get any gunk that is blocking the hole! newtest3 hi - this happens to me, and if you haven't put your earring in at the back for a while, the back might be hard to get to - try piercing from the back - with someones help preferably - and it will go through at the front. If you have been trying too much to get it in, then it may be inflamed and it would be best if you left it for a few hours or over night.
It depends. Has the piercing "tightened" around the ring, or has the skin grown over the piercing itself? Piercings often will grow tighter as they heal, this does not mean you should force your jewelry around to "loosen it up". Just let it heal and over time your body will accommodate the foreign piece of metal. If it's totally embedded and the jewelry is UNDER the skin, go to a doctor. Now. Not tomorrow. Right now. It must be removed by a medical professional immediately.
You could if you're in a bind but try to avoid it. It would rub on your teeth and gums causing discomfort. Those backs could get stuck on too.
