8 year old ready to peirce ears, St. Pete body peircing recommendations?

[AbbieB]

Finally! My DD is ready to get her ears pierced. I've been waiting for this right of passage.

I would like to get it done by a professional body piercer rather than just taking her to Clarie's in the mall hand letting some clerk do it with a nasty piercing gun.

Anybody have a recommendation for the St. Petersburg area? We are wiling to drive to Tampa, anywhere in Pinellas county, maybe even further for the right situation.

I'm interested, too!  I've been asking around whenever I see cuties out and about with their ears pierced (my DD is 19 months) and every mama I've spoken with just says take them to Claire's!  Yuck!
