Ear Piercing with a Needle or Gun?
In general, it is recommended to use a needle rather than a gun for ear piercing. There are a few reasons for this choice. Piercing guns are typically not disposable and some components may be not sterilized between each use. Spring-loaded guns may cause damage to ear tissue and cartilage as well. Therefore, this piercing option should only be used on earlobes. However, many people actually prefer gun piercing as it is accessible and fast. Most jewelry shops and salons actually offer this procedure. Overall, the decision over gun or needle ear piercing all depends on personal preferences. [7]
