absolutely definitely do not go to claires or any other chain store that offer ' professional ear piercing!' You see, places like Claires use a piercing gun, the type similarly used to pierce cattle, they are not designed, nor or they suitable to be used to pierce humans. There are three main problems with using piercing guns, the first, because they have...

In my local claires they use piercing guns which i wouldnt recommended, i'd check out your local tattoo shops or if you have a piercing place in town, or like a few other people have said beauty salons, i had my 3rd holes in ym ears done with a gun and they were at a funny angle, just speaking from experience. hope it helps
I am sure Claire's would be fine. They must do plenty of them so must have good experience. I would check closely that you are happy with the position of them. A friend did my daughter's and they are a little lop sided. The aftercare you give at home is probably more important. Bathe with surgical spirit 2-3 times a day for several weeks.
tattoo/piercer place every time. the people in clairs recieve no training in what they do and tattoo/piercers will have done hundreds (sometimes in very dificult places. never, ever go somewhere where they have a gun....it's unhygienic - do you really trust someone in a shop like that to maintain strict hygiene and a professional knowledge of piercing? i took my son to my local tattoo parlour (where i've had tattoos) and it was perfect - painless, over in a minute and a lot of information about cleansing and general health.
I had mine done in a hair salon lol
I would go for a dedicated piercing studio over a tattooists. All that machinery could be off putting for her - I don't know how old she is
I had my nose done in a piercing studio and there were no tattooing noises and it was all very calm
Not sure if a gun is still used on ears. They used to use guns on noses (haha rhyme there) but they don't any more as it creates a dry hole
I would definitely not use Claire's - I don't like the idea of sitting in the shop window having it done and all those people walking by watching
