Ear piercing

[babyJC]

I sent my dd to bdazzle for her virgin ears. Was recommended for nickel-free earrings. After considering that my dd had sensitive skin, I opt for this option. I even chose the higher range with diamonds…unfortunately, even with the nickel-free earrings, her skin is still sensitive… took her 4 to 5 months then completely heal. In fact, I went bi-weekly to the shop for them to check on her ears.


Lately, I recommend a friend to go Goldheart as I felt that its not worth to spend that kind of money. Her dd also have sensitive skin but is coping fine with the ear piercing. She spent only <$70 for the earrings only.

oh, i see. thanks for the information, everybody!


i got my ears done today (well, yesterday, now...) at the outlet in 313@somerset, and i must say, it was a very painless experience. the staff sprayed some sort of solution that utterly numbed my ears, so i didn't feel a thing, hooray! ^___^ *is scared of pain*

i chose the cheapest stud at $41, and while they assured me the piercing was free-of-charge, i had to buy two bottles of alcohol solution at a very exorbitant price of $18.80. )))): but i guess they have to earn the money somewhere... :\\

i guess all that's left now is to hope the recovery process goes as smoothly as the actual piercing job itself. again, many thanks for all the helpful replies! i love you all. ^___^

Hi, is there any contactless, painless method of piercing a child's ears? There are lots of high-tech stuff these days, someone must have invented something by now! I hope :?:

contactless = laser ??

Have not heard of contactless & painless method of piercing ears. Only heard of painless method of wearing earrings - use clips or magnetic earring :lol:

Thanks for the replies, verykiasu2010 and Pen88n. The problem is my MIL wants my daughter to wear Indian-style earrings and they’re always huge. We got my daughter’s ears pierced at B*Dazzle and she cried and cried at the pain. Of course, it went away but my husband doesn’t like it. Her holes seem to be getting smaller even though we’ve never taken out her earstuds (bought from B&Dazzle) so to accommodate MIL, hubby wants to remove the studs, let the holes close, then get them pierced again. But only if its contactless because then it should be truly painless. Right? I hope!

1. just to please your MIL ? whose ears is it ?

2. contactless ?? got such thing ?

3. want truly huge rings to be worn on it ? consult the Dayaks of Sarawak- they have been wearing the huge rings for generations !!

how old is ur DD?

Oy verykiasu2010, my MIL is very nice and doesn’t make demands She’s just concerned that my daughter’s current earstuds are quite narrow. I also have problems getting others – see so many cute designs but the posts look thicker. Contactless, just thought I’d ask. Never know until you ask right? And no, Dayak huge. Just Indian huge.


Sun_2010, my daughter just turned seven.

If the holes are already there, just get a stud that is slightly bigger than the current one and change it. The hole will slowly enlarge and there’s minimal pain.


Letting the hole close and repiercing is not good. Usually, they will avoid repiercing the same spot due to some scarring from the previous piercing.

And I agree with VKS2010, repierce just to please MIL???
