Piercing guns are controversial, even though they've been around a long time and have been used to pierce millions upon millions of ears. Gun designs have improved in recent years, and now most retailers who pierce with them use the type with disposable cartridges. That type of gun makes it easier to prevent disease transmission, but the system is far from perfect. The gun itself still cannot be truly sterilized (its plastic parts would melt in an autoclave) and most casual piercers probably don't have a solid background in standard hygiene practices. The delivery of jewelry into the ear can be a problem, too. Here are six things to think about before someone uses a gun on your earlobes.
