07 Aug American Needle VS Gun
It is very important to know that piercings are made with the American Needle and not with the Gun. There is a substantial difference in the healing of the hole between the use of one method and another. Let’s see how.
The Gun IS NOT STERILIZED because of the plastic parts it is composed of, so any bacteria, virus or other, will remain on it. To remedy the poor hygiene of guns, the market has recently created“disposable capes”, to avoid contact with the skin, but laboratory tests have decreed them useless for the purpose, as they do not stop the micronebulizations of blood that always happen for each hole.
The other fundamental problem of the gun is the trauma it causes to the skin, as the hole is made with the conical tip of the earring itself! This gives origin to a V-shaped hole very irregular that will struggle a lot to heal and that will be in many cases even more subject to inflammation and infections. All these problems are increased by the butterfly closure of the jewel: too narrow and that does not allow the hole to breathe.
The American Piercing Needle is the only way to carry out a Piercing in a safe and professional way being STERILE, MONOUSE, in SURGICAL STEEL and with a cutting geometry among the most perfect and effective: that’s why it produces a perfectly round hole without creating trauma to the part.
