Something to consider.

A mother in America has shared her ear piercing story to warn other parents to be wary about where you get their child’s ear pierced.

Marlyn Elizabeth explained on Facebook that she wanted to bring her daughter somewhere safe to get her ears pierced. She chose a local business on the basis that they had many years experience and were fully trained.

Unfortunately, on the day, it was pretty disastrous.

She said that the staff were pretty rude to begin, which wasn’t ideal, and then they managed to pierce her daughter’s ear in the wrong place while trying to cover it up. She explained what happened in the Facebook post saying:

“When they pierced my baby’s ear according to the girl the gun got stuck and all I saw was her pulling off the earring she wrongly pierced and attempting to do it again while my baby is screaming.”

When she questioned them they tried to blame her, saying that her arm was in the way and that she wasn’t holding her daughter in the correct way. They then told her to go elsewhere.

She shared a photo of her child’s ear where you can see the mark left by the marker, and then where the gun pierced the ear.
