Note: Below are some pictures so maybe you can tell me what you think.
Ok, I am not sure if I am making more of a deal then this really is. My 6yr old had her ears pierced yesterday at the piercing pagoda at the mall. I tried to get her to an actual body piercing place but none in my area would pierce a 6yr old. Also, my ped does piercings but not often and uses the gun so I would rather take my chance at the mall with someone who does them all day. Anyway, the placement from the front looks fine however when I looked at them from the back I see a big difference. Her right ear has the angle lower from the front to back so the earring sits a little different and the back is closer to the bottom of her earlobe. Now I am wondering if I should have it redone? I hate to do the piercing again to fix it as once the 1st one was done it was pretty difficult to get her to accept the 2nd hole (she wanted them done btw, I did not push this in any way).
I am not sure if having the one at that angle will cause issues as her earlobes grow or with different earrings?

One thing I am afraid of is if we redo it and they get the angle right but it ends up being uneven in the front instead of the back.....
I fixed the photo links, Sorry about that!
I think the difference is so minimal that its not worth the hassle to fix it! I promise NO ONE is going to be scrutinizing her earring placements like we, as the Moms do, so I vote to leave it be!!
IMO, the way it looks from the front is the most important & hers look good from the front.
After looking at the photos, I think that it is not that big of a deal. It looks great from the front and her ears will grow more, so I would not worry too much about the backs showing. It does not look like that much difference. If one is bothering her more than the other, than I would let them close up and try again when she is older/bigger.
I wouldn't worry about tit.
Your photos aren't showing up.
Ears are crooked. On everyone. So...is the placement wrong, or is it her ears?
I'm sorry, I can't see the photos.
If it's truly the placement, I'd pull it out and let it heal. Let the ped's office do it next time.
I would take a tape measure and measure them. If they are off then I would take the one that is off and let it heal. Once it heals measure and mark it yourself before having it done. The sooner the better. I did this with my daughter and they re did the crooked one for free.
It could just be her ear. If you are concerned, let it heal and try again later. I would just take out the crooked one.
I'm really not seeing the issue. They look fine from the front and from the back the difference doesn't seem that bad. Wait until you're ready to take them out and put in new ones. At that time if you have issues with it or it hurts her, then let it heal, and have it redone.
Don't really see a problem. Looks good to me. A bit off from back but not worth redoing.
Take it out, let it heal, and redo it. It's just an ear piercing, you might as well get it right.
Judging from your photos, the front looks even to me. Maybe I'm not seeing it properly. I don't think it matters as much what it looks like from the back, unless the angle makes it awkward to get the earring in.
Either way, it's easy to fix.
I have one that is angled like that an OUCH!! It hurts putting earrings in sometimes. Sometimes the earring will not follow the hole and digs. My suggestion is to remove both, allow them to heal and when she is a teenager have them redone at a piercing parlor. Just because she wants them at 6 does not mean she is ready for them at 6.
