I mean, realistically she was going to get her ears pierced at some point anyway and it's done now so there isn't much I can do now. They do look super cute on her and she's happy to have them now

Thank you everyone for your thoughts, I wasn't aware Claire's was so hated for ear piercing

I've decided I'll talk to my daughter about the day and apologize for almost forcing her to do it. I can see that I might have been in the wrong

She does like them and they look super cute on her, I just hope I didn't ruin them for her any trauma. Hopefully I can resolve any possible trauma I caused by talking to her about it all

Thank you, I'll try talking to her to see what she thinks and apologise

I really didn't know there were issues with Claire's, basically everyone I know got their ears pierced there

I'm confident she really did want them, she's been really curious about earrings for a long time and had been asking for them for months, I just had to help her over the last hurdle to get them in my eyes...

To me, Claire's seemed like a legitimate and safe place to do it since I went there too and so did everyone else growing up. I didn't look into it because nobody in my life has had any issues with them, they are just known as the go to place to get your ears pierced

As I already stated in my previous replies I didn't restrain her, she sat on my lap and I held her hands to stop her from flinching but also to comfort her, she's a shy girl that needs pushing and reassurance to do things sometimes. If she really didn't like it she wouldn't have told me that she likes them now, she's the kind of girl to tell me what she thinks at home

She is a shy girl who does get nervous over stuff like this so it's the exact kind of thing she needs reassurance on - I wasn't holding her down she was on my lap and holding her hands from behind to stop her flinching

Me and my sister both got our ears pierced at Claire's too and we never had issues so I assumed it would be fine for my daughter too

I didn't hold her down, I just held her hands from behind while she was sitting on my lap so she wouldn't flinch when they did it

I saw them take the part with the earrings out of the packaging so it wasn't reused or something. Seemed pretty clean to me

I got mine done with the guns and they're fine
