Is it safe to do ear piercing at home with gun?
No it’s not. The gun can’t be sterilized, which can give you an infection, or even hepatitis if it’s been used by other people. The gun can cause blunt trauma, which causes tons of pain and will take longer to heal than going to a real professional who uses piercing needles. The jewelry is too short to accomidate swelling, which can cause the jewelry to embed into your ear – that needs to get surgically removed. The butterfly backing is a great place for bacteria to live and grow in, which may cause an infection. By doing it yourself you will also end up with a very beautifully crooked piercing. Go to a real body piercer, who uses sterile one time use needles and the correct length jewelry for your anatomy.. It may cost more, but your ears will thank you.
