Getting Piercings

u shouldn't really pierce with a gun... a gun can be very agressive and damaging, I got my first nose piercing with a gun and it didn't go well.. when I got it repierced with a needle along with my cartilage I noticed a big diffrence with the healing and scarring.   3 reply

I have mine on the cartilage and was pierced by a gun. I just got it last month and so far nothing bad is going on. It also doesnt hurt when i press it kinda lightly so i think it is healing pretty well. The woman just said after i got it done is that apply baby oil to it   reply

Using a piercing gun takes a lot longer to heal because there is more tissue trauma. There is tearing and ripping as the piercing stud is forced through. A properly licensed professional will use a special type of needle instead that cuts as it pushes through reducing tissue trauma. Piercing guns also have small parts that are nearly impossible to ......   1 reply

I wouldn't recommend using a gun for piercings. Most professional piercers wouldn't use a gun either especially for cartilage.

I only have my ears pierced. I used to have three holes (one each on my earlobes and one on the flat of my upper ear). I let the hole on my upper ear close up, because I didn't want it anymore.

I’ve heard some rough stories about using a gun for most piercings. The gun hurts worse than a needle and there are a LOT of risks compared to paying a little extra to have a piercer do it for you with a needle. Just do your research and enjoy!   reply
