I have one and I absolutely love it. It didn't hurt too bad. My boyfriend did it for me. Just numb your ear before you do it. I did it in the winter time and I was outside for like an hour so that helped. The only bad thing about it is if you have long hair it gets caught with the earring and also sleeping on it if you have a stud is difficult at first but you get use to it. Ohh and when the earring goes though, you'll hear a "pop" type of sound. It's kinda weird but than it's all over with.

I have one and I love it. Suprizenly it didn't hurt much at all to get it done its so quick. I got a stud when I got mine done, its cheaper and it means they can do it with a gun rather than a needle. I'm planning on changing it to a ring sometime later.

Oh can you get it pierced with a gun? Doesn't it kinda mess up the cartilage or something? Personally I would totally want the gun more than a needle, so if I can that would be great. :)

[ashleygal]

No it doesn't mess it up at all if you get it done by a profdfesional plus its like a million times faster, I didn't even realize they'd done it at first x

[Asker]

Oh awesome, that is great news.

Thanks so much : )

Actually it CAN mess up your cartilage. Badly. I'd advise going with the needle. There's no way to properly sterilize ALL parts of a piercing gun, and they use blunt force trauma. A piercing needle is new EVERY time, and cuts cleanly through skin. I've been pierced by both, and the gun hurts FAR worse than being pierced with a needle, and they take about the same amount of time. If not the pain, at least consider your health. A professional licensed piercer won't even offer the option of the gun

[ashleygal]

Wow I didn't realize that at all sorry, all the piercing salons I know don't give you the option of a needle unless your getting a ring, and I've never heard of any mishaps. I'll keep that in mind for next time x

[cun7n1nja]

No worries. =] At least now you know. Anyone who specializes in piercing will pierce strictly with needles, so that's a good way to tell. You want to be pierced by the best, and people who use piercing guns usually have limited training/knowledge, obviously, or else they wouldn't be using a piercing gun in the first place, haha. Guns are ONLY good for ear lobes, and even then a needle would be better. My cartilage was done with a gun before I knew better, and I'm lucky I had no problems with it.

You posted a pic of Hayden. I can't not like that. :P You didn't put an option for it doesn't matter. I'd pick that but I'll go with A instead.

alot of girls have them now , I'd say in general they look pretty good and they suit all girls regardless of if there hot or not

For the most part doesn't matter.
