Getting your ears pierced is considered a minor surgical procedure because it involves creating an opening in the skin using a sharp instrument, typically a needle or a piercing gun. This process can introduce risks such as infection, excessive bleeding, and allergic reactions. Additionally, it requires proper sterilization techniques and aftercare to ensure healing, similar to other surgical procedures. Despite its commonality and relatively low risk, it still falls under the category of surgery due to these factors.

I've only heard of reconstructive surgery for larger gauge ear piercings. Howver, you should look into getting your ears pierced at a larger gauge to remove the scar tissue. That way you could let them heal without the scar tissue stopping you.

Is getting your ears pierced at Claire's safe?

No it's not, see claire's does something called silver piercing, and silver piercing isn't as good for your ears, and then after you get your ears pierced there they get very irritated and gross, and they hurt a lot, so get your ears pierced at a jewelers, or a doctor's. I agree. Claire's is an alright place to gt your ears pierced, but I would recommend Piercing Pagoda, because they specialize in ear piercings, and they have very high quality earrings. Claire's is a good place to get earrings after you have gotten your ears pierced, but, I would most recommend getting them pierced somewhere else.
