Working at Claire's introduced many challenges, particularly in ear piercing. The process involved sterilizing ears, marking spots with ink, and using a piercing gun, which eventually became routine. However, the Association of Professional Piercers warns against this method due to risks, including infections and tissue damage. They advocate for using disposable needles for safer procedures. My experience included some mishaps, but overall, the job reflected the intense pressure young workers face in retail environments handling delicate situations like ear piercings.
The Association of Professional Piercers advises against piercing guns due to potential problems from infection and tissue damage. They recommend using a disposable needle instead.
Initially terrified, I was thrust into piercing babies' ears shortly after starting my job, illustrating the pressures faced by young workers in retail environments.
