Is Walmart Ear Piercing Safe?
Walmart’s in-store ear piercing service is totally safe.
In fact, their in-store ear piercing services are performed by a company called Inverness, which claims to be one of the safest ear piercing services/kits available. What makes them some of the safest on the market is that:
- Their piercings are totally sealed until they are used, which means the piercings stay totally contaminant free.
