Answer #1

I have mine done, and Nooo they do NOT use a gun

Answer #2

No you can’t. Usually getting even your ears pierced with a gun is bad for you. It is best for your skin and the piercing if you get all of them done with needles.

Piercing guns are usually made of plastic which holds on to germs and can’t be properly sterilized after each use. A gun forces the erring through the skin ripping your tissue apart to make room for it instead of when a needle is slid in causing a less violent break. It is also less painful to get piercings done with a needle.

Most people that pierce with a piercing gun are also usually store employees who go through a 2 week training period as opposed to the 2 to 3 year period professional pierces go through (all of which use needles)

Answer #3

I don’t think they have guns for your lip. I think they are those piercing clips with the circle thing on the end. I forgot what they are called but they cut off the circulation for a couple seconds so you don’t feel anything when the needle goes through.

Answer #4

no they don’t, profetionals do it by hand. I know I had mine done
