We had such a bad piercing experience with a major piercing brand. My 6 year old daughter's right ear was pierced too tightly, kept bleeding and went black. Even after following all care instructions, her piercing still would not heal. After 5 months of this, I found and purchased the MP invisible earrings ... now after only a month of wear, she has started to heal. She can also wear them to school and has been so comfortable, she doesn't even notice them at all. Thank you and thank goodness!
