Same, some dodgy places still sell this but give it a fancy name so it looks better.

My gears have been grinded. I am really annoyed with some of the people in one of our towns here. There is a jewellery shop that I would class as "manky" (unless it has suddenly changed over the years) - it certainly is not sterile. I wouldn't get any piercing there. They are piercing two year olds with a gun and badly. And get this...... other town folk have told the Mother of the child (on Facebook) to go to Claire's instead! Some people have had a moan about her doing it in the first place and others see no problem at all. (All I can think of is germs and diseases!). I wouldn't put my child through it if I had one.

I do agree although by the sound of it Claire's is the lesser of two evils.
