Put a mark where they want it, put the gun near that and pierce. Twas all she was told, and she could go pierce.
:S
I got my lobes done at a Claires-like place in a mall. I didnt' know any better but it is shady to look back on. Luckily nothing has gone wrong.
Proper piercing places should bring down their price, imo. Get your ears pierced in a mall ~$7 Get your ears pierced properly ~$40-50. When you think about it, how many early/pre teens and their parents are going to spend half a hundo getting their ear lobes pierced when they can get them for under a tenner.
needle piercings = less damaging & less painful = happy holes
my mate's a piercer and the amount of times she's seen peoples ears that have been fucked by gun piercing is stupid :yes:
I was too young at the time to know i should do my own research into the ways of piercing, i dont think i even knew that a needle could be used, i was at the age where i trusted that it was safe if it was allowed to be done. My mum didnt know guns are bad either, as she had hers done with a gun and had no problems so had no problem me letting me have mine done in the same way.
Nowdays i cant wear earrings anyway as every time i do, my lobes swell and go itchy. Im not bothered- i prefer myself without anyway but it would be nice to wear them for a special occasion. Im able to leave the cartilage one in, ive had a BCR in it for years with no problems now.
Im completely totally against babies and toddlers having their ears pierced. And even without the welfare implications, i think it looks cheap and tacky.
I think there should be regulations that the minimum age for ear-piercings is 14, and i think piercing guns should be banned.
