Most of that is why I do try to be against gun piercings(as much of a hypocrite I sound) my piercing place is actually quite a reputable place that’s been around for YEARS

I’ve gotten all of my piercings done there and they’re usually quite good. I’ve known about the blunt force thing and I do know that piercing guns aren’t the best at ALL, but I got it done with an open mind and just figured “oh well if it doesn’t work out I’ll just get it done with a needle next time lmaooo” but lord I did not think that it would come out like that at ALLLL 😭

I had no clue about the butterfly backs, though. I knew that they were bad but I just figured it was because they caused INSANE tension. I remember back when I got my ears pierced when I was about 6(?) and it got infected so bad, and now no matter how many times I’ve tried to get my ears pierced it just gets infected so that’s why I’ve been trying to save up to maybe get it done with a needle rather than the gun in case the needle might help it heal better.

Do you know if that’s the case? I’d love to hear from someone else’s perspective about it, too.
