Piercing Cartilage Gun Or Needle

While there are numerous reasons to not get pierced with a piercing gun, one of the most critical reasons: is that the actual piercing edge of the piercing gun stud is blunt, and not sharp enough to make an actual clean incision thru the flesh. What’s actually happening with a gunned piercing, is that a dull stud is forcefully shoved thru the flesh using a spring loaded mechanism inside the piercing gun. Because the stud does not make a sharp incision like a needle, this blunt force trauma results in a lot of excessive pain, and the piercing channel will be collapsed and never heal correctly. This is why gunned piercings, even years later, will often “hurt” or bleed when changing jewelry, it is because the actual channel inside the flesh is destroyed.

WHY

Piercing needles do not cause additional trauma as they are designed by the industry to create a small incision and reduce resistance as the needle glides into the skin, only allowing enough space for the jewelry to slide comfortably into the new piercing site.

⚠️Professional body piercers will never use a piercing gun! Shops that use ear piercing by guns are in the business of making a quick buck while endangering the client, and are not considered professional piercing service!

Myth Busting: Why You Should Never Have Your Cartilage Pierced With A

Daphne’s ear evolution ✨ She came to me with a troubled helix that we’ve retired and we’ve done a few (#floatinghelix#stackedlobe#conch) more piercings ever since. It’s been a fun journey with her, she loves switching her jewelry up every time she come to see me. We find creative ways to explore fresh looks with her existing jewelry by rearranging things around. Swipe to see the different curations she’s been adorned with, and what her ear looked like when she first came in. 🫶🏻 Thank you Daphne 🥰 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #bvla #stackedlobe#navelpiercing #earpiercing #Singaporetattoos #Singaporepiercings #singapore #nipplepiercings #sgpiercing#singapore#bodypiercing#pierced#piercings#sgtattoo#ear#navel#piercingidea#piercedandproud#sgpiercings#singaporecity#piercingshop#earstylist#navel#septumpiercing##dermalpiercing#helixpiercing#daithpiercing#scaphapiercing##needlepiercing

They are unanimously reviled within the professional piercing industry, and are an area of hot debate. It is quite an emotional subject for a lot of us. But why are piercing guns so bad, and why are there petitions by piercers to get them banned in the UK?

I want to preface this by saying that there will be no mention of piercing gun brands, or shops that use them in this post. This is not a callout post, or an emotionally-driven piece of slander. I will be talking specifically about the gun itself and the mechanism by which it pierces, and about the general standard of hygiene and training that surrounds the piercing gun. This is an educational article above all else.

Say No To Piercing Guns' Viral Facebook Post

If piercing guns are so unanimously hated, there must be a good reason why they are still used in a lot of places.

-

The obvious pro of a piercing gun is the speed at which the piercing is performed. The piercing gun forces the jewellery through, and the butterfly backing is pushed on in the same motion. The whole thing may take less than a second. For some people, this might be seen as a major bonus.

The other obvious pro for any business owner is that the piercing gun can be used with minimal training. You don’t need to train your staff on how to reprocess tools or how to use clamps, cannulas or blade needles, or anything surrounding bevel theory. This means that the worker using the piercing gun is a much more affordable option than hiring a fully trained piercer and either installing a sterilisation room or going fully disposable with blade needle piercings. Piercing guns and their associated cartridges are incredibly cheap, and so the profit margin of that business can be substantially increased.

Needle Vs Gun?

The piercings highlighted in red were pierced with guns. The accuracy of a gun is nonexistent, which leaves room for wonky piercings that are hard to correct. This photo was kindly offered to us by Esther, who can be found in Irvine!

Piercing guns do often come with instructions, so the piercing itself
