Oh dear sweet Jeebus…. I love how it looks riveted (sp?), but goddamn! I don’y have those bits, but the OH (other half) does and he just wimpered like a sad puppy when he saw that.

Heh heh. Claires. Whenever I meet a new group of girls I like to ask how many got their ears peirced at Claires and then had to take the peircings out due to infection.
I have yet to see less than 75% of a group raise their hands. Oh, good crusty memories. I wonder if they even bothered to consult a professional before they started handing out rubbing alchohol for cleaning fluid. Silly gooses.

My body can take any injury pretty well – I’ve healed less-than-ideal needle piercings in a month, and well done oral piercings in days…
But with the Claire’s gun and the “ear care solution” (at the age of ten, I might add) my lobes swelled up to around twenty times their usual size, and dripped green pus for a fortnight. I still remember the pain. /rant

for the record i have 6 piercings from “random mall shop” and the only time i had to take them out was when i had stretched them years later to almost an inch (i have a stainless sensitivity i think)
knowing what i know now, i wouldn’t go there. i would only even go to a handful of professional piercers on earth.
but people….no need for a ‘holier than thou’ attitude towards people that dont know any better. perhaps sharing knowledge in a humble way is a better approach? agreed?!

Why say no to piercing guns? You say yes to lukas and haworth…they’re FAR more fucking dangerous.

LOL! @ Ant
I have four piercings from claire’s and they’re fine for the most part, they just itched and burned like crazy because they put the backs on uber tight. And I think I remember them having to reload the gun by hand, even though they’re not supposed to touch the studs >..

Got to admit I got a real bad infection off a gun, that was real hard to get healed up.
Took a few courses of antibiotics, after reading above im pretty sure the girl handled the studs she put in my ears also.

Interesting; that gun looks like it’s all metal (anodized aluminum?) instead of plastic and chrome. Would it be possible to properly sterilize a gun of that type?

Yeah I’d have to say the piercings I’ve gotten from mall shops were MUCH worse and inflamed after getting them done than the ones I did myself….hmmm, interesting. Besides, with a needle, you can feel it go through, where as with a gun its just bang and done. no fun 🙁
