[quote=Anonymous]The reason a pediatrician or a tattoo shop are better than the mall kiosks is because of the method used. A hollow needle will remove the tissue, which will leave cleaner edges and less scaring. The piercing gun used at the mall literally crushes its way through the tissue. This can lead to scarring and infection because that crushed skin is still down inside the piercing. You are also more likely to get uneven holes with a gun because the squeezing motion torques the gun. I have several tattoos and piercings and have seen moms bring their daughters in for their ears. Come when they first open and preferably on a weekday so it's less busy and you'll be in and out in 10 minutes. Tattoo shops are very clean, unlike that little table top sitting out in the open at Claire's. [/quote]
