I can't speak to doing it as a toddler, but Eva would be someone I would trust to ask. ![]() You purchase earrings for and the piercing is free. We had a great experience with Eva, the manager, who is very knowledgeable and great with kids. The store is in Alameda - it moved from South Shore mall to Park St in downtown, so if you go be sure to note the current address. I highly recommend Merle Norman for ear piercing. ![]() We watched a couple youtube videos of kids getting their ears pierced beforehand, and i was upfront that it would be somewhat painful but not bad, like a getting a flu shot. I had wanted to get her ears pierced as a baby but never got around to it. They have a bag of treats they give kids afterwards with ear care stuff and stickers and lollipops and that was the big highlight for her.ĭepending on your kid, I think it's a great age. Her eyes got very big when the skin was pierced but within a minute she was smiling and happy. She didn't cry (which was surprising because she'll cry at the drop of a hat), although it wasn't painless. They had two people pierce her ears at the same time. I took my daughter there when she was just over 3 years. ![]() I recommend Zebra piercing on Telegraph in Berkeley. another thing we really liked about her is that she focuses on piercing kids, uses real jewelry, you can set up appointments online, and she is a total pro at handling any issues that may come up! the lady there did a wonderful job making sure the piercings lined up properly (I can't stress how important this is since I see people with piercings that weren't done properly so their earrings always face the wrong direction!) she uses an old fashioned piercing mechanism (it's not a piercing gun). We took our daughter to a place called baby piercing in the outer sunset in SF when she was about 5 months.
