Piercing Pagoda

This is a little kiosk in the mall. I came here about a year ago to get my daughters ears pierced with my lady. I’m here today because she keeps taking her dang earrings out and losing them. So what better place to come to than the place I originally brought her. There’s really not much to it. 2 employees and ally of the jewelry. I was helped fairly quickly by both employees and I ended up getting my daughter some gold screw back earrings.
I’m sure I’ll be back here in the future and it’s my first choice for kids earrings and reasonably priced.

My guy has finally decided it’s okay for our daughter
to get her ears pierced.
Between looking around, I knew I needed an
appointment for her pediatrician
(who is hard to get into). I have three ear
piercings myself, the first two were done at a
Claire’s and the third was done at a Wal-​mart.
Thinking that Wal-​mart probably wouldn’t be
the best fit for my 14 month old, I narrowed
it down between Claire’s and Pagoda. Claire’s
had sample earrings online, but no prices.
Pagoda had their piercing earrings pricing
online, and if you sign up for their email (s)
you get a 10% off coupon. This coupon
expires 14 days after the email is sent.
Looking at their website, they «specialize»
in children, and require that the child is at
least 2 months old, and has received their
first DPT inoculation. I brought her birth
certificate just in case, and of course my ID,
I guess what I was really looking forward to
was having my daughter’s two ears pierced
at the same time. Their website says that
two «piercing professionals» can knock it out
in one time. I was kind of disappointed when
I only saw one guy working this morning.
I guess I should have called.
I filled out brief information about myself,
and picked out some 10k gold plated studs
for my daughter… with some «„bling“» of course!
I added their «insurance» on the earrings, for $ 5,
if anything happens to them in a year, they replace
them for free. No deductible. Okay, sounds like a plan.
I park the stroller, and sit with my daughter on my lap.
The employee puts on gloves, and sanitizes both her ears.
Asks me a little bit about her ear history,
(ever been pierced before, any infections, etc). He gets out
a pen, and uses the pen cap as a measurement for the
placing dots. I approve the dots, and we get to work.
While I have the Sons Of Anarchy theme song
playing on my phone for my daughter, hey, she
likes that show… and Jax Teller ;) lol
ANYWAYSSSS
CLICK.
The first ear is done. I have one arm
holding her torso, and the other arm
holding her head. She did start to shout,
but there were no tears.
CLICK.
The second ear is done.
A little more whimpering.
The employee asks me is he can give
her a lollipop, and we unwrap her an
orange lolli.
Crying stops, and she continues to watch Jax Teller.
Price breakdown
2 10k YGold 2mm CZ piercing studs…$ 35.98
1 4oz Ear care solution…$ 2.99
1 Year extended warranty…$ 4.99
with 10% off coupon and tax, makes it $ 41.00 even.
I’m happy, my daughter is napping,
not grabbing at her ears in pain…
WINNING!
Thanks Pagoda!
