Top Text: “Piercing three month old’s ears”
Bottom Text: “Random passers by look at you like you’re committing murder”]I work at a chain jewelry kiosk where we pierce ears starting at 3 months. Today I was piercing a little girl who was 3 1/2 months, and as I went to do the second ear (I was the only employee on so they couldn’t be done at the same time) she was crying and squirming like babies do. Right after I get the second one done a woman from the Macys store near us stopped and asked “Did you just pierce that baby’s ears?” I answered yes and she just gave me this shocked look and quickly walked away.
I don’t make the company policy. If I want to work there I adhere to what they tell me.
What the hell? YOU HAVE A CHOICE! Don’t put the blame on your bosses, stop being a coward and hurting BABIES, make a stand and refuse to do it!
Do you know how wrong and dangerous piercing with a gun, piercing without proper training is? What the hell are you doing! How can you even try to justify that!?it sure is nice being able to get a job whenever you want isn’t it
oh right no it’s not because that doesn’t fucking happen you colossal tool
Anyone who has their earlobes pierced knows it doesn’t hurt. So if a baby is freaking out its not because they’re being fucking tortured. It’s because of the loud ass pop the gun makes and/or because the blood rushing to the piercing causes the lobe to be really warm for a few minutes after. Don’t be stupid people-piercing babies ears is no biggie.
