Bottom line, do your research, are they licensed to provide piercing services? Do they have a health inspection report indicating they are inspected to provide piercing services? Do they have a business license indicating they are permitted to do any form of piercing services? Chances are the answer will be "No" in all counts. Piercing gun studios never get licensed to provide piercing services, they license under "retail sales" this is a grey area where they sell other stuff and piercing is not there main business income. However under federal health regulations if you are providing services on the human body you MUST be licensed as a Personal Service Establishment (PSE) and are subject to a health inspection conducted yearly.
So if you really want to be safe spend the cash and see an actual professional body piercer for all your piercing needs, licensed and inspected to provide services in a clean and safe environment. They are also there should you have issues with your piercings, The other guys will just send you to your doctor. Think about it.
No they only pierce ears
NOO! They pierce with nickel and you need to pierce with gold! If you pierce with nickel you can get serious infections like me and all my friends that got them done there. Some have to have surgery... so no would be the answer. A good place to get them pierced is Piercing Pagoda.
$15 for one ear and $30 for both :)
Just Buy the Earrings The Piercings Free
they use a piercing gun or a needle
I'm pretty sure you have to be licensed to do body piercing anywhere in the US.
People assume that Claires is a bad place to get your ears pierced because they use piercing guns, which are bad- not true. I got my ears pierced at Claires and have never had a problem with them.
yes they can.
No it's not, see claire's does something called silver piercing, and silver piercing isn't as good for your ears, and then after you get your ears pierced there they get very irritated and gross, and they hurt a lot, so get your ears pierced at a jewelers, or a doctor's. I agree. Claire's is an alright place to gt your ears pierced, but I would recommend Piercing Pagoda, because they specialize in ear piercings, and they have very high quality earrings. Claire's is a good place to get earrings after you have gotten your ears pierced, but, I would most recommend getting them pierced somewhere else.
Go to a professional piercing studio. Make sure the environment is sterile. Don't go to a studio that will pierce your ears with a piercing gun, or somewhere that does not sterilize their products.
i just got mine done there like 3 days ago and they did
yea they pierce cartilage and lobes. they only pierce ears there so im sure theyd pierce anywhere on that thing :l.
