Anywhere to get ears pierced in the world

[Fryan08]

Is there anywhere within the resort to get a little girls ears pierced?

I have never seen anyplace that does ear piercing. I would doubt they have any, but I could be wrong. Your best bet would probably to have it done off property.

Yep. Right next to the tatoo parlor.

Is that the one next to Cindy's, or by Pirates?

It is not advisable to get any piercing (earlobes included) while on vacation for a couple of reasons. The main reason is that you shouldn't swim with fresh ear piercings for 6-8 weeks. Basically piercings are puncture wounds, and submerging them in chlorine, beach water, or lake water can be problematic. Chlorine is very strong and can make fresh piercings red, itchy, oozey, etc. Any natural body of water (oceans, lakes) is inhabited by bacteria that can enter the body through the wound (piercing). This can cause infection or illness. It would be no fun to have a little one with infected earlobes while trying to enjoy WDW!

This question has come up a number of times before and the answer has always been that there is no place at WDW to get ears pierced (so if you want it done during your trip, you will need to go off site).
One thing a lot of people don't think about (well actually 2 things) is that you are usually told not to go swimming until the holes heal and you can't change the earrings until the holes heal (at least 6 weeks, so you can't buy some cute little Mickey earrings to put in while you are down there).
Also (OK, 3 things) there is some care involved in getting ears pierced that has to be done several times daily - cleaning the ears and rotating the earrings.

How about getting the ears in question pierced before you go to WDW? Time it so there is the 6 week healing ( & caring) process at home and cute Mickey earrings can be swapped out on property for the piercing studs. That would make a cute memory, wouldn't it?
