    Absolutely not.

    For one, the people piercing you there aren't even professionals. Their "training" consists of a 10 minute video, which I learned from actual Claire's employees.

    Two, they use guns to pierce, which are disgusting. There is no way to completely sterilize a gun. Wiping it down with alcohol will not sterilize it, and can't get into all the nooks and crannies in the gun. If someone's blood or skin gets into one of said spots, anyone pierced afterwards is exposed to another person's blood and skin cells, which is a great way to spread infection and blood born illnesses.

    The "cleaning" solution they give your contains peroxide which should never be used on a piercing. It dries it out and kills off the good bacteria your body needs to heal properly. Causing healing to take much longer. They also recommend that you twist the jewelry, which is incredibly stupid. Twisting the jewelry only tears the healing flesh and drags crust and bacteria into the piercing, running the risk for infection and extending healing time.

    Do yourself a favor and go to a real professional who knows what the heck they're doing.

    yes! I have gotten all 7 of my piercings there and they haven't messed up once. Don't go to piercing pagoda, they've messed up twice on my friends piercings, and had to take the earring out and repierce it!

    If you want crooked holes, unsanitary equipment and crappy jewelry then go for it. Just go to a professional piercing shop where you'll get high quality jewelry and healthy piercings.

    Yes don't believe when people say you'll get an infection, you would have to clean it with the products they'll give you the only thing could happen is that if you take the earing out to soon the holes would close.
