Before your baby gets a piercing, make sure you do your research and choose a piercer who is experienced and comfortable with children, advises Playforth. “You’ll also want to look closely at the way ears will be pierced, along with ensuring that the piercing is happening in a sterile environment with good attention to detail,” she adds. Choosing a piercer who has completed safety training programs is also advisable because it guarantees that the piercer has received comprehensive training in health and safety, hand washing, marking, and piercing placement.
