Questions about piercing my ears?

Although it is strongly recommended to use a needle (because it is more sanitary and safer) Piercing your lobe with a gun is not going to kill you. Although I say this it is NOT OK to pierce any other part of the body with a gun. I have gotten 2 lobes done. One with the gun and one without. The gun piercing does not hurt. It feels like a quick pinch. The needle hurts far more and is a lot slower. A lobe piercing takes 6-8 weeks to heal. And is by far the easiest piercing to clean. While you are in the shower take anti-bacterial soap and gentally rub it onto the piercing site. Do not twist your piercing. Do not remove your piercing for 3-5 weeks.
