Industrial bar

Ok…so im almost 16 and I really want to get an industrial bar in my ear. does anyone know how bad it hurts/how much it costs or how old you have to be to get it done without a parent? I want to go professionally but my mom wont let me, but one of my friends has a piercing gun and she might be able to do it for me. what should I do?

Answer #1

You have to be 18 if you want to do it without a parent, so WAIT. A piercing gun isn’t going to do you much help. Besides being bad for you and could possibly transfer infections to you, a piercing gun doesn’t pierce a hole large enough for industrial bars to go through . You’re supposed to go to a professional so that you get pierced with a NEW, STERILIZED, hollow needle. It’s a pretty thick needle. A professional also can tell which areas on your ear would be best to pierce because of their experience, and give you proper after-care advice. So it’s best that you wait.

Answer #2

omg hell naw. do not let that friend of yours do it.. and it will heert. but I guess it depends on your pain tollerence. it heert me. but its usualy around 50 dollers. and you dont use a gun you use a hollow needel you need to do it profetionely. and you cant do it withought a parent until your 18 but if you got a friend with a cool mom just bring them. they dont really do a backround check. you just walk in say its your parent and waLLLA your done ;p
