Piercing Guns

Where do I even start....

Piercings guns force blunt ended studs through the tissue causing excessiove scarring and trauma. whereas piercing needles creates an incision and pushes the tissue to the side to create a channel for the jewellery to be inserted.
Piercings guns used on other parts of the body can cause much more damage. If used on cartilage, it can shatter the catrilage which is known to not be able to repair itself. There is a reason why piercing guns need to be used with such force and are spring loaded!

The jewllery used in piercing guns come in a starndard size, but people don't have the same anatomy, same size and thickness in certain areas.
Do expect swelling for new piercings, the standard size of the studs don't accomodate for the swelling, leading to the jewellery being embedded into the skin, irritation, delayed healing and greater risk for infections.
The butterflys used on the studs can harbour so much bacteria and is so much harder to clean, more nooks and crannies for bacteria and crust to hide. 

We use different jewellery based on the location and best suited for your unique anatomy. Most common jewellery we use is a flat backed labret bar. We also use longer bars initally to accomodate for swelling. 

The piercing guns cant be sterilzed due to some parts being plastic which will melt with heat. They usually just wipe it down with alcohol then off to the next person. Thats like us using a needle on you, wiping it down then using it on another client. Yuck!!
There are disposable cartridges available online but they still use the same jewellery and have the same risks.

Piercing guns are hard to aim properly and so the piercing is most likely going to be crooked or inaccurate. With needles we are able to have more precious aim and better control of angles.

Piercing guns are load! It can scare younger children more than the piercing itself. If the child jumps while being pierced, the angle may likely move. The stuf can easily get stuck halfway through, which means it must be removed and done again.
