Where to Take Kids for Ear Piercing Near Here

I still vividly remember the day, many years ago, when my Mom took me to get my ears pierced. I was thrilled anytime we got to step foot into a Claire’s store (head bands, purses, and butterfly clips, oh my!), but this particular day, there was an even more exciting reason to stop in: my first real earrings! It’s a big day when you get to wave goodbye to your collection of clip-on styles. There’s a wide variety of options when it comes to stores, salons, and tattoo shops that offer kids’ ear piercing in Chicago’s western suburbs. Please remember to call ahead to confirm specifics and schedule your appointment. Then, get ready for lots of cute earring shopping to commemorate this milestone!
