Why are ear piercings different than any other piercing? It's still a hole in your skin. There's still the chance of infection *yes, deadly infections can come from piercings done at the mall* There's still a chance that if the tools are not sterilized *alcohol wipes are not sterilization* something can be contracted. Can we say HIV? Hepititis? Very good children! Someone give me one good reason why piercing ears is any different from piercing most other things. A valid response would not be anything concerning the popularity of ear piercing, because there have been many unhealthy yet common things people have done. Cigarette, anyone? The point was a piercing is a piercing, no matter through your tongue or through your ear. Piercing guns may be more sanitary now, but the studs haven't gotten any sharper, I know because we got my friend a pair of piercing studs so she could pierce her own ears with them. They are easier, but still a bad idea. Anyone piercing cartilage with a piercing gun should have it taken away. I remember how bad it hurt when I had my lobes gunned and I know how it felt when I did my second holes half into cartilage with a piercing needle, and the latter wasn't near as bad. Go on to explain my CONCH *that's the "earbowl" if that makes sense* pierced at a 12ga didn't hurt near as bad as a blunt bit of "gold" going through my lobe. Everyone's different. Not everyone considers that the chick pushing a little post through your ear was not trained for more than an hour, if that. Not everyone considers what that means.
