A piercing gun takes a blunt stud and fires it into the earlobe, essentially this is like branding cattle. As piercing guns cannot be cleaned they risk infection and blood born diseases, jewelry used can cause irritation and allergic reaction, they can also misfire. Furthermore no piercer would ever use a gun, piercing studio staff are trained for a reason and understand that piercing guns are dangerous, thus the only people who would use such tools are not trained and so pose high risk of misuse.
What else can I help you with?
Is it weird for a 14 year old to get a tragus piercing or a cartilage piercing and gun or needle?
Never get any piercing with a gun-style piercing machine no matter what. Gun-style piercing machines cause trauma, unnecessary damage, and scar tissue around the piercing that would not happen when proper equipment (a bevel-tip hollow piercing needle) is used.
Does it hurt to get a nose piercing done with a gun?
Do not get it done with a gun! Its really dangerous and any piercing shop should know this, if a piercing place is saying they do it with a gun. Do NOT go to them. Do it with a needle only. Guns are only for ears, and your not even supposed to use a gun on the cartilage of your ear, it could shatter your cartilage.
Can you go blind from a tragus piercing?
Only if the person doing the piercing is a complete idiot, but generally there is no danger to eyesight from a tragus piercing. Please be sure to see a professional body piercer for this piercing and not some joker with a piercing gun.
Do Claire's do belly piercing?
No, Claire's don't do belly piercing. Claire's don't actually do piercing at all, they use a piercing gun which is not the same thing, and legally can only be used on earlobes. If you want any sort of piercing you should always go to a piercing studio.

Any body piercing shop or tattoo shop that offers piercing services or Claire's. But, I have to say, it is preferable to get your cartilage pierced with a needle because a gun can shatter your cartilage.

Probably about the same, but 10ga is huge for ear piercing.
What does an ear piercing gun sound like?
An ear piercing gun sounds like a stapler. I had my ears pierced at Claire's recently and they are great at it. It's over in 5 seconds. its a small plastic gun and they position it at the ear lobe/cartilage and click its over!
If an ear piercing is swelling and bleeding what should one do?
Go to your piercer! (Hopefully, you got it done at a piercing studio, and not with an evil disgusting disease-and-germ-spreading piercing gun at a mall.)
Does cartilige piercing hurt bad with a needle?
It's actually much less painful with a needle, and there's a lower chance of infection. The piercing gun can't be cleaned and sterilized properly, whereas the piercing needle is always new and just our of a sterile package. The piercing gun can shatter catilage in some cases, the earring can get stuck in the gun causing trauma to the area when it is yanked out, and the ear-ring causes a bigger hole than the needle.
