Did you know that:
The guns are a copy of what they use in the livestock industry to label animals and they thought that this could also be done for earrings in humans.
You always damage unnecessary tissue because the earrings are blunt and are pushed through your ear with brute force and therefore shattering of cartilage always occurs.
Jewelers are not trained to work sterile like a piercer does and the guns always contain particles from previous customers and cannot be sterilized.
Jewelers don't use titanium when we even have to.
The chance of inflammation is much greater because the backs of those earrings contain grooves and bacteria can nest there wonderfully.
The shooting earrings are too “thin” and cause cartilage rejection much more often? Your cartilage can dissolve through splintering. (Cauliflower Ear !!) At most you save some money by having a shot instead of piercing, but you do gamble with your health.
Twisting your jewelry destroys healing tissue and delaying healing?
Alcohol is too intense for open wounds and therefore not okay for piercings, but jewelers do sell cream with alcohol?
We pierce everything with needles in our shop. This gives a better result and there is less chance of complications.
