My 14 yr old wants her ears pierced for her birthday, and i've carefully read the advice here about finding somehwere that uses a needle, sterilises carefully, etc. I've spent an hour on the phone to every hair salon & department store in the area, about 25 different places, and only 3 actually do it, and all use a gun. One of the 3 was Claires and they said they don't sterilise the gun, only the earrings, which come pre-packed and sterile.Doeasn't sound encouraging!
Can anyone recommend anywhere in SW London that actually does the recommended thing? Otherwise i think we'll have to take our chances with Claires!

You need to find body piercing parlours, you won't find anywhere else that can pierce with a needle. Alot of tattoo places have body piercers who work there or have the contact details of good piercers.

body piercing parlours sound a bit scary! Does anyone know one that isn't!

Just drop in to a few; it may look scary but most people are really friendly, just be aware that some places have strict rules so they may not pierce anyone under 16, regardless of whether it has your consent/ blessing; they can potentially lose their licence.
