Cartilage piercings with gun

My friend and I are getting our ears pierced tomorrow and shes gonna let them pierce her cartilage with a gun does anybody else think this is a bad idea or is it just me?

inexperienced idiots at a salon or mall who use the gun are NOT profesional piercers
they have no training
no idea of what can go wrong and were not to pierce
and the gun is full of germs from other peoples blood because they cant sterilize it
also its blunt, which is about as good as shoving a nail through your skin
it will make it take a lot longer to heal
if you want a real piercing you get it done with a surgical steel needle
the process is simple
they clamp your ear, stick a hollow surgical steel needle through
then thread the jewellery through the needle

There's a lot of people that say the gun is bad. I've gotten 6 holes pierced with the gun including both cartilages and they all were perfectly fine.

no I dont think so just be careful every ear piercing I've had was with the gun and there just fine...I think shell be okk

yeah I got mine done wiff a gun and as long a they know what there doing your frann hould be fine

Yes it is a bad idea. It shatters the cartilage and makes the healing time slowers. I would never in my life use a gun to pierce anyone anywhere. Most professional piercers wish the thing was never invented.

They are sooo unsanitary.
They use the same gun on different people.

Thats a terrible idea.
As said above, guns shatter cartilege.
The only place you should use a gun for piercings for, is your ear lobes.
It's also very unsanitary.

I am gettin my done in december. I am a cheerlearder and do not want it to hurt but cheer ends is december...my friend has hers with a gun and said she didnt even feel it and my friends mom has it and she said it hurts less than your lobes when I get mine done I will tell you the outcome..go on youtube.com and watch videos of needle and then gun and read the comments I would say go for gun nothing that bad can happen I am.
