Have been debating allowing my daughter to get her ears pierced after she's been asking me to get them done and am thinking of just going to a high street jewellers where they'll use the studs and a piercing gun.
Friends have all taken their DDs to high street jewellers for piercings, Claire's etc. where piercing guns were used and been fine. However, the internet seems to be full of hate against piercing guns and advocating for using needles! They say piercing guns aren't as clean of a hole, they can be unsanitary etc... does it really matter?!
YANBU - of course it is fine to go to a high street jewellers - they're only first earlobe piercings, not cartilage etc and it's all hype about not using stud guns - most people go to high street jewellers and are fine
YABU - go somewhere where they use a needle as stud guns are awful!
