@courtney.emond, Then I'll tell them if my daughter doesn't want her ears pierced after a few years she can take them out herself. & if nobody wants to do it for me, they have piercing kits at Walmart/shopko. I'd rather have it done professionally but...
Be careful, some associates at stores will refuse because apparently they think it's "abuse" to pierce a baby's ears because you don't know if they actually want their ears pierced or not.
