In case anyone is interested: I called my ped (Capital Area Pediatrics in Falls Church) and they do it for kids 6 mths and older for $66. They have the initial studs that are used for the piercing. From what I read online otherwise, it sounds like going with a dr is the best option for little ones...the equipment that the places use in the mall is NOT sterilized and you really can't count on a high level of training or ability with most of the Claire's type places. Anyway, looks like we'll have a little ear piercing party in another month or so...
