No. They can't be properly sterilized for one. Guns work by using unnecessary force to force a blunt stud through your ear. Yes, they have special studs with pointy ends but they still aren't sharp enough. Studs can get stuck in guns and the guns push the back on too tightly. Studs aren't ideal for new piercings because they don't allow for much swelling. Not to mention that the studs are of terrible quality. Guns cause necessary trauma and sometimes bruising.Comparing guns to needles is like comparing punching a wall to stabbing it with a knife. Needles get the job done with much less damage to the piercing site.The people who operate guns aren't piercing professionals, hence the reason they use guns. These gun users spend maybe 10 minutes reading a booklet on how to use a gun. Professional piercers have to go through seminars, apprenticeships,classes on bloodborne pathogens, and much more. You can find tons of info on guns through a Google search but obviously, guns are a terrible idea.

What is best to get your ears pierced with gun or needle?
A Professionals Opinion If you want piercings that look good right from the start and will allow you to get more down the road that allow for a flow effect, go for the needle piercing. Done by a professional body piercer the piercings will be next to painless, the jewellery will look good and be easy to care for and you will be safe in the knowledge that a licensed and inspected professional has provided the service in a safe and knowledgeable manner. Piercing guns are dirty, the studs are generally the cheapest material of questionable quality and the operator generally doesn't know how to provide the service in a safe manner without cross contaminating themselves and your piercing in the process. A free piercing is never really free when it comes to piercing guns.

You should never pierce your cartilage with guns. It will damage your body tissue and you will find a lump growing outside the piercing after a while.

Safest is to go to a pro-piercing artist, he/she should use proper hollowed and sterilised or brand new needles to pierce. It doesn't hurt at all if the piercing is done professionally.
