We never use piercing guns for any aged person. Piercing guns use a tremendous amount of force to push dull earring through the tissue causing blunt force trauma, scarring, and tearing.
Furthermore, these guns are not single use or able to be sterilized. So the blood, tissue, and germs from whoever it’s been used on before can come into contact with the client.
We use single use hypodermic needles to pierce our clients. All items coming into contact with the area are sterile and hypoallergenic.
