    Most independent jewellers will do it, that's where I got mines done years ago. In saying that I passed a chemist in Belfast a few days ago that was advertising it, but I can't think now where it was.
    The frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.

    I think I got mine done in Boots but we're talking 20 years ago! Claires Accessories do it I think but not sure if you'd want to trust them. Nothing personal against them but for something as intimate as getting your ears pierced, I'd want a professional to do it.

    Farmer Joe Boyle will do it for nothing, he puts tags on cow ears and even sprays you with the blue stuff.

    If hes not available try skincityworks

    I second that!

    There's an older thread on this, I'll merge the two so you can read all the replies and see what you'd like to do :)

    Otherside is great, I'd always recommend it. Have to echo what other have said about ALWAYS getting piercings done with a needle... guns can not be autoclaved due to the materials used to make them. This means they can not be completely sterile therefore can transmit hepatitis, HIV etc.
