First-time Ear-Piercing-Mum reporting for duty! If you are anything like me, you hadn’t really given a lot of thought to ear piercing among the fifty things you worry about for your child. Yet, when the chime begins…… “MUMMMMMMMM, I want to get my ears pierced!!” ……………you will wonder how this major issue crept up on you without your awareness.

I’m owning it. The thought of anything being stuck in my child sends me weak in the knees. I’m not a fan of needles and I didn’t get my ears pierced myself until I was in my thirties. Glad that’s all been said! So, when it came to piercing Miss Seven’s ears on her birthday, I had concerns. I know it’s not a big deal and most kids go through it, but I wanted it to be a pleasant process for her and MOST CERTAINLY not anything to fear. Turns out my choice of piercing venue and process went surprisingly well and hence my desire to share this story here.

We applied a lathering of Emla numbing cream to her earlobes an hour before the procedure, and she claims she never felt a thing. Her five-year-old sister was the pillar of strength as we marched into Cosmetics Plus (various venues available across Brisbane) for our allocated time slot. We had to book ahead to ensure two piercers were available at that time for a dual piercing. She selected the prettiest little butterfly earrings from their hypoallergenic range and bought the antiseptic spray (didn’t use it though). She was nervous but also so excited as she climbed up on the padded bed and they marked out the location of the holes.

Mummy anxiously waited for a tear or two, but none came. Only smiles and total conviction that she was now a ‘big girl' with her new butterfly accessories neatly in place in her ears. Her sister held her hand for the process and is now chiming ……. “MUMMMMMMMM, I want to get my ears pierced!!”. On it goes and the process starts again. Never a peaceful moment in the life of a mum!

The assistants at Cosmetics Plus presented Miss Seven with a certificate of Bravery and gushed over how lovely her ears looked. I really couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my girl and we will be back soon for Miss Five!
