Question 1

Do you pierce with a needle or gun?

Accepted Answer

Neither. I use a gentle, hand pressured device to pierce the ears. The hand pressured device is not spring loaded like a piercing gun therefore, it dose not push the earring into the ear which can cause trauma. Because the device is hand pressured, I have full control of the earring going into the ear. The earring will be pierced into the precise location. This limits the chance of poor placement and/or need for reperching .
The piercing device uses a single use, sterile cassette with the earrings enclosed and is exclusively carried by medical professionals.  These factors decrease the risk of cross-contamination between patients therefore, making the piercing procedure safer and hygienic.
