Hey /fit/, femanon here. I'm thinking of getting my ears pierced for the first time. My mother says that if I save $90 or so, I can get it done in the doctor's office. But I can get my ears pierced anywhere, at a Claire's store or a tattoo/piercing parlor. But she says I can't do that because a doctor's office is the most sanitary. Also, it's $90 +/- because insurance doesn't cover it. Does getting it done by a doctor really matter?

Doubt it. When's the last time you heard a ear piercing horror story?

go to a piercing shop. if you go to somewhere like Claire's where they just use a piercing gun your lobe might get infected. They don't sterilize that shit. They won't charge you $90 at a piercing shop either. Also, clit piercing.

I want to go to a piercing parlor, but alas, if I come home after doing so I'm bound to be quarantined by my hypochondriac of a mother

I can tell you're not 20. Girls stop going to Claire's when they grow out of pre-pubescence. Also twenty year old girls don't rely on their mothers for this kind of shit. Unless you've been locked in a basement for your entire life, which is kind of sad really, but I digress UNDERAGE B& TITS GTFO LOLOLOLLOL sage

If they're professional piercing parlor, they're obsessed with sterilization.

Ask about cleanliness and safety.
They should immediately tell you that:
1) they use disposable needles/sterilized packaging
2) have a autoclave sterilizer (steam clean sterilizer, medical grade. you see them at dentist offices to sterilize the mouth picks)
3) the shop should seem well cleaned and maintained.

Piercing guns should be outlawed. They're so bad for your ears. Go to a piercing parlour, make sure they wear gloves and autoclave their needles. You should be set.

No, seriously, I am 20. I don't know why I mentioned Claire's.
