We can never tell you enough and we regularly see messages on this subject. Do not be pierced in a jewelry that uses pistols to make a ear piercing. Keep in mind that you need a needle at all costs to pierce. The needle should be in a packaging sterilized and sealed, this is for single use and makes it possible to cause as little irritation as possible on your ear. The pistol comes to exert pressure to pass through, which is of course not optimal at all. The same goes for your lobes! If you do not want to have infections or simply damage your ear, the single -use sterile needle remains the best option. Note that the risk of infection or propagation of blood-transferable diseases are much higher with a pistol, because even if cleaned, it is reused many times, and it is complicated to clean it perfectly.Find out about the piercing studio
