Asking for a friend, since I have no experience with this.
If you pierced your DD's ears young, where did you get it done?
A friend of mine wants to get her DD2's ears pierced (6 months). The pediatrician she used for DD1 has raised the price, and they are too expensive. Her friend suggested a tattoo parlor, but she's hesitant.

Both girls got them done at one year at Claires. It's where I pediatrician recommended. We paid $50+ for each of them.
I know people that have used professional body piercers (separate from a tattoo shop) and had it done earlier.
-
Our local piercing salon that has a RN doesn't do it before age 7-8
-
Does the price difference vary that much? I'd probably save and have it done by the pediatrician if I really wanted LO's ears pierced. I'm sure other places like a tattoo parlor or Claire's are fine/clean, though.

I would prefer tattoo parlor if my pediatrician didn't offer it or was too expensive !! I feel like their sanitation standards are strict . (No evidence - research etc on my part . Just my initial gut feeling )
-
The tattoo parlor for sure. At least in our state, they are highly regulated and held to very high standards. Claires did mine and my sister's, and screwed both up so badly we had to have them repierced layer
Never again.

Tattoo parlor. I mean, Claire's could have a 16 year old texting while holding the ear gun.
-
When I priced out getting E's done, not a single tattoo parlor I saw would pierce the ear of a baby. I'd see a pediatrician
-
I read this awful article in my 20's about a baby girl who died from an infection after ear piercing. I would use a pediatrician.
-
I have heard for kids that if you do a mall kiosk thing, call ahead or make an appointment for when they will have two staff doing it and can do both ears at the same time.
-
I'm not on board with baby ear piercing but if I was the pediatrician's office is the only place I would do it. Putting a hole in my child's body doesn't seem like the time to make sacrifices to save money.
Never again.
