true! actually it's not until this point that i realize that a bunch of the horror stories i've heard about piercing may have been from claire's and claire'slikes (new game genre coming soon) and so going to an actual place will avoid that.

also i should get a tattoo at some point.

yeah if you look into it there's a ton of horror stories surrounding Claire's and other similar chains that hire teens with no piercing experience, who are then given a perfunctory training course and given what amounts to a hole punch. there's also some people who really dislike their policy of piercing the ears of kids who say they don't want a piercing, as long as the kid's parents consent.

I had mine done at a tattoo/piercing shop by someone who knew what she was doing, she was making little dots on my ears with a pen and walking back and forth figuring out how the best spots to pierce them to look even since the two ears are always bit different from each other, and I appreciate that sort of attention to detail.
