THE MOST ELEGANT WAY TO SAY 'I LOVE YOU'
Valentine’s Day is coming and there is no better way to say ‘I love you’ than with jewelry. This gift guide will help you find the perfect gift for your loved one.
If you’re wondering if it’s better to get pierced with a gun or a needle the answer is simple; needles are the way to go. Needles are cleaner, less painful and more accurate than guns.
Hygiene
Needles are more hygienic, since we use a new needle for every piercing.
Less painful
Piercing with a needle is less painful because our needles are surgical quality (aka sharper) so it won't hurt as much as with a gun.
More accurate
We pierce slower and more accurate with a needle. With guns you have more chance of a misplaced piercing and your body might reject it.

What's a piercing?
Getting a piercing doesn't necessarily mean it has to go through your cartilage. Even the first pair of earrings, going into an earlobe are considered piercings! For any other piercings it’s standard that you pierce with needles but unfortunately for our ears, guns are still used way to often.

The importance of a needle
Piercings are for all ages!
But it’s important to know why you, or your child, shouldn’t get pierced with a gun.
Gun piercings don’t require a proper training so the chance of infections and inaccurate piercing placements are so much higher. It’s always best to get pierced by a professional to guide you through the proces.
There are also some dangers when you pierce cartilage with a gun. The impact can rupture your cartilage because of pressure and force.
If done professionally a needle piercing is absolutely harmless.
Once and for all, no guns
There are literally only disadvantages to piercing with a gun. Piercing guns are made from plastic and can't be properly sterilized. This means that guns could pass on diseases.
The blund stud that they use can cause scarring, pain and other complications. The butterfly lock on your earring used with guns can easily harbour dirt and bacteria which can cause infections
There is even a bigger chance of infection when they don't use te right material. Piercing studs used in guns are rarely made from high-quality materials such as stainless steal, silver or gold.
Only the best for you!

Why is it important to get pierced with a needle
Piercings are for all ages, it is important to know why you, or your child, don’t want to get pierced with a gun. In cheaper stores where they use guns the staff isn't always properly trained.
There is a high risk of infection when it comes to piercing with a gun. Because they use blund studs it can easily harbor bacteria which can cause an infection.
When it’s used to pierce your cartilage there is even a chance of it rupturing because of the pressure and force. It’s also harder to aim so it could be that your piercing is inaccurate wich may cause your body to reject it.
