Ear Piercing Not Even

28 replies

My dd (age 9) had her ears pierced yesterday. They marked them up & we checked them & all seemed fine.

Unlike my other DD, who had them pierced separately, 2 ladies got their guns out. I said oh no, can you do them separately pleased as I've heard the children can move. Oh they said, we always do it like this & it's better as blah blah. Obviously I didn't want to alarm DD, so said, fine if you're sure.

Anyway, all looked ok - dd a bit :/ as it stung (to be expected). They put something on, gave us solution, paid & on our way.

However when we go my home, they don't look even :( One ear is fine but the other, IMO, is out by about 1mm.
Obviously when you've got very small lobes, this makes a difference.

My friend is coming over to look later, but is there anything that can be done with such a small amount out
?
I keep looking at it, cringing & kicking myself for not going to the place where DD1 went Confused

I doubt anyone will notice as ears are generally asymmetrical. Mine definitely don't line up right, but my ears aren't identical so it has never mattered.

Just taken DD's earring out.

Just want to be clear about the piercing she has - it's not on the correct place in her ear lobe. I realised her face/eats aren't symmetrical. Everything I look at her piercing my brain is mentally moving it over.

I'm hearing all the needle things, I'll ring a reputable peirrced tomorrow.

I think I'll also ring Claire's head office & complain to them..so cross with myself AngrySad

Don't be cross with yourself, be cross with Claire's for being so useless. Definitely complain to head office, too.
Hope you get some good advice from a reputable piercer. Where abouts are you? Sure someone will be able to recommend one.
