Product Information

In case you're uncertain about the earring design or type of piercing you'd like, feel free to book a consultation prior to your appointment or ask any questions on the day itself," says Svetlana Hristova, Head of Piercing at Lark & Berry. "A brief conversation with your piercer before the procedure can work wonders, particularly if you're feeling nervous." The Association of Professional Piercers (APP) cautions against the use of piercing guns because they aren’t disposable and not all components can be easily sterilized between uses. While piercing needles allow for greater accuracy and can be used to pierce any part of the ear, this method can also be more expensive. What Kind of Ear Piercing Should I Start With?

What types of earrings suit this area?"The tragus piercing is one of the smaller ear piercings. Thus, it's advisable to select a more delicate, petite earring for the initial piercing, with the option to switch to a larger one later on," says Hristova. "You could also consider a 1.2mm gauge hoop, with a diameter ranging from 6mm to 8mm, depending on your tragus size." Don’t forget to research your piercing artist. They should be trained, qualified and have experience—you may not want to risk going to a novice. Proper Portfolio The piercing needle is an excellent tool for precision. The artist has full control over the needle in terms of placement. Less Damage Wenn du sicherstellen möchtest, dass dein Piercing so gut wie möglich heilt, ist es wichtig, die Nachsorgeanweisungen deines Piercers genau zu befolgen und in ein hochwertiges Nachsorgeprodukt zur Unterstützung der Heilung zu investieren. Earring Stud: An earring stud is an incredibly popular jewelry option. You can get a stud with a gemstone, diamond, or a charm. Studs can be easily worn without catching on clothing, like other jewelry types, so they’re a bit of a lobe piercing staple; you can often wear studs even in active situations.

Hollow Needle

The lobe piercing is way low on the pain scale. In fact, in many cultures, it’s common to give children as young as 18 months a lobe piercing. You should feel a slight pressure as the needle goes through, but any pain you feel shouldn’t feel like more than a pinch. Getting pierced with a piercing gun is like pushing a pin through your ear. Did you know that piercing guns use a solid pin to puncture your ear whereas with a needle the inside is hollow. The difference is that with the piercing gun your earring is forcefully pushed through your lobe whereas with a needle your earring is gently inserted into the the new hole. With the piercing gun you will experience excessive trauma. So what difference does it make? The end results is that with the needle your earring will sit flush on your ears, whereas with the gun your ears will take longer to heal and the earring will be crooked on your ears. NEEDLE Piercing needles, on the other hand, are used by professional piercers and don’t require blunt force. Needles are made for one-time use, so you don’t have any risk of sharing bodily fluids with the client before you. This is one concern that comes with piercing guns, as those are used repeatedly.

Our Piercing Service Manager is a member of the Australasian United Professional Piercers, an organisation dedicated to the dissemination of vital health and safety information about body piercing within Australia,” says Grynkofki, adding that their Piercing Labs are also purpose-built to be a safe and sterile environment for piercings, which are (let’s face it), invasive. What Is the Process of Getting a Needle Piercing?A piercing needle is exactly what it sounds like: a long, sharp needle to pierce through the skin to allow room for a piercing. Using a piercing gun is a less accurate way of piercing as you can’t see where the needle will penetrate the skin and the pin is covered. This can affect the overall appearance of your piercing as they can be off-center and uneven. Potentially Slower Healing Find out the answers to the ultimate piercing question: piercing gun vs needle along with your other FAQs about being pierced with a needle. Here at Blue Banana, our experienced piercers favour the ear piercing needle for precise piercings that are more successful at healing and therefore we don’t use piercing guns for any type of piercing.

Many people say the clamp is quite painful, with some saying the clamp is more painful than the actual piercing itself. Still, take these reports with a grain of salt: the perceived pain could potentially be attributable to anxiety. Frightening Look Pain levels and tolerance vary from person to person but generally you can expect your ears to hurt for a couple of days after getting pierced. You will initially feel a sharp pain when getting your piercing which is often followed by a dull throb or ache as you do have a fresh wound on your body. You may find that your ears will swell not long after the piercing but after a few days, this will reduce. This is simply your body’s natural reaction and marks the start of the healing process. Ear piercing with needle pain is reported to be less than being pierced with a gun. Many people mistakenly believe that a very thin earring post will result in extremely small scarring of the ear. This is not the case. The wire-thin post can easily cut through the skin if the jewelry is forcefully tugged or if it’s too heavy. This results in larger holes and more obvious scarring. For this reason, piercers now recommend getting pierced at 18G or 16G. Piercing ears with a needle is a very fast process. In a matter of 1-3 seconds, your piercing will be done. To help your body prepare for being pierced, your piercer may ask you to take a long breath in when they are ready to push the needle through your skin which will help your mind and body to remain calm. Before you know it, your piercing is completed and most people find that it didn’t hurt as much as they thought. The pain level will depend upon the expertise of the piercer. It’s common for lobe piercings to be pierced with a piercing gun, however, you should opt for a piercer who uses needles. Even in a lobe piercing, a piercing gun can cause trauma and spread bacteria. Lobe Piercing Healing ProcessBefore your piercing, you will need to complete some paperwork. At this time, someone from the Beauty Studio team will also talk you through the piercing process and the aftercare information you will need to best care for your new piercing. We can’t tell you which option is right for you: you need to compare piercing guns vs needles based on your needs. In terms of piercing options, you can only get earlobes pierced with the piercing needle. That means if you want anything else pierced, you have to use a piercing needle. Beyond gauge sizes, jewelry materials should also be an important consideration. Perhaps because of the ubiquity of lobe piercings, people are more willing to wear earrings made from poor-quality materials. While they take the time to carefully research their eyebrow or lip piercing jewelry, they will put nearly anything in their lobe piercings. Remember, they are still piercings and need to be treated the same as any other hole in your body. Make sure that you choose jewelry that is implant-grade compliant and durable, like 14k gold, niobium, or platinum. In addition, make sure that the manufacturer has expertise in body jewelry, and carefully vet your pieces. When you get pierced with a needle, the artist needs to clamp the skin before the needle can go through. This is to make sure the skin doesn’t move. The clamp also allows the artist to get the needle in the correct place when piercing. The needle is invisible, concealed within the gun. If you’re more afraid of seeing the needle rather than feeling it, a gun could be the right choice.
