Review on Anzero Disposable Sterile Ear Piercing Kit - Painless Piercing With Hypoallergenic Studs by Anthony Watkins

I love this product! I have 3 girls and I have spent way more money than I care to admit at a certain pre-teen favorite jewelry store in the mall on getting their ears pierced! Don’t believe them when they say it’s "FREE”. Lol! Anyway, my oldest daughter wanted a second hole, so she asked me if we bought these if I could do it for her. I had no problem with it since I worked at the above mentioned pre-teen jewelry store when I was in college! I have done this 100 times or more. It was super easy and fairly painless. I ordered another set and pierced my 10 year old’s ears as well. Although I had done this many, many times before, you don’t have to be a professional to do it. Anyone can do it. First, make sure you clean the ear lobes with alcohol! Then, make sure you mark, on both ears, where you want the holes before you pierce them. Don’t mark one hole and pierce it and then go do the other side. Mark both sides and then look at them straight on to make sure they are even. Make sure they are equal distance from the face and that both are the same height. The holes should be pretty much centered in the middle of your ear lobe. It’s probably a good idea to also have the person you are piercing take a look and make sure they look even to them. Then just load the earrings in the gun, line the earring post up with the center of the dot you marked, and squeeze the gun. This doesn’t pop like some of the older style piercing guns. You actually have to use your own force to push it through. But, it’s easier than it sounds. Don’t use an excessive amount of force, but don’t be too gentle either. You don’t want it to only go halfway through. I would say about the same force you use for a stapler. After you go all the way through, slowly release the gun and then very slowly pull away from the ear. It will probably leave a plastic sleeve around the earring. That’s ok, just take that off. It should be in 2 pieces, and should come apart and off pretty easily. Then, and this is super important, make sure you loosen the backs on the earrings! The pressure from the piercing pushes the back pretty tight on the ear. This can become uncomfortable pretty quick when the ear starts to swell a bit. Which is normal. So, just make sure you pull back on the backs a bit. Then make sure to clean the ears with alcohol or peroxide. If you happen to have some of the cleaner from the jewelry store, that’s great. If not, it’s ok. I do have to mention, these are pretty big earrings. Bigger than I thought. They would definitely be too big for a small child. They are a little big for my 10 year old, but not so big that they look ridiculous or anything. they were a little too big for my oldest daughter’s top hole. But, she just dealt with it for the 6 weeks. No big deal. They are definitely bigger than the ones in the mall for sure!
