ear piercing question

  • I've had 10 peircings in total- 7 of which were with the gun. I've never had any problems witha single one of them. They were all proffesionally done- no trauma, yes they were clean and yes lobes can safely be done with the gun.

    And it hurts a hell of a lot less. I prefer the gun to the needle. I've grown quite fond of the noise now.

    It's not safe. Guns physically cannot be steralised properly. Needle piercings are quicker and don't hurt a bit.

  • I had no idea that ear piercing could be done any other way than by using a gun.

    This going on the fact that i've visited places 4 times to have my ears pierced, so 8 gun noises in total. I had my 1st set when i was 8, 2nd at 12, 3rd at 14 and my 4th at 15.

    Didn't hurt one bit for me, otherwise i wouldn't of gone back. But i would of liked to experience the needle way, just to be able to compare the difference.
