Guns are horrible though, there's a thread in the Tattoos and Piercings forum which explains why (Historykitten, don't click :P) http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055287992

Every time I hear people say 'gun' in relation to ear piercings it puts me off them.

I've got my ears pierced 3 times I have two on each lobe and one in the cartilage on my right. I've never gotten any infections. One of the lobe piercing I got done somewhere in England when I was younger it was 50p each ear. I remember screaming for each ear(I was 7). It wasn't too bad when I was older but got it done over here. I'm not sure if I'm sensitive to penny's earrings though they seem to irritate my ears maybe because it's cheap metal/plastic. The ear lobe piercing feels more like a pinch and it hurts after for a while The cartilage piercing hurt the least suprisingly I didn't even feel it going through. I wouldn't get anymore piercings I only like the ears.

The guns aren't too bad it doesn't hurt . You should try it if you really want it done I was nervous about my 2nd lobe piercing worried it would hurt so much because I screamed in each ear the first time. It was nothing really after getting it done it's just like a pinch , if you want it done you'd see and wonder why you so were nervous about them. I wouldn't get it done if I had to use the needle I can't stand needles.

Haha I clicked the link I think those people have just had bad experiences with them. It's not half as bad. Or maybe it's the type of piercing that they got done.
I didn't look at anything about the tattoos. I'm still wondering whether to get one or not I'm not a needle person, I might freak out at the sight of the needle. I never get injections done either I avoid them as much as I can. I can't believe we're talking about piercings lol.

Togepi

Strangely enough I really want a tattoo. The pain would me off though. Plus it'd take me ages* to decide on what to get or whether I should even get it or not.

*ages = at least a year. Or two. Or three... :P

Did you actually read the first post of the thread? They're not safe or hygienic in the least. People had bad experiences for those reasons.

Yeah I saw that part , I'm not sure what the gun was like I know they changed something it might have just been the piercing though. Some places are alright.

What tattoo would you get?

I'm not sure yet but it would be really small and I'd get it on my ankle, wrist or hip. Probably a little flame on my wrist though, I've been considering that one for a while.

I've done a Hamlet essay now on Women and Revenge. Both were just 3 pages, I struggle to find things to write about in Hamlet.
I think I'll do one more than that's probably enough for English paper 2.
So I'll have done:
A comparative
A Plath and Larkin
3 Hamlet

And I'll probably prepare a letter to the editor too, that's me done with English.

I'm getting my ankle done after the leaving cert. The aftercare is such a pain in the ass during school.

What are you getting on it? I'll probably wait 'til I've been in college for a while before I get mine.

It's not just people having bad experiences with them, they really shouldn't be used at all.

Basically for ear lobe piercings they're PROBABLY not going to cause a huge amount of damage (depending on the type of gun used) but it's still risky. They should never ever be used for anything else, especially not cartilage as they can actually shatter it. They also cause scar tissue to form and cause healing to take longer.

:P

Togepi

I'm getting scared about piercings now!

If you shouldn't use a gun *shudder* then what should you use? A needle? :eek:

One of these handsome young fellows. Except without the little poo hanging out the back of him

You should get it in the summer if you're gonna, having to put cream on every couple of hours between classes is so annoying especially if it's big.

Yes. :L If you don't like needles you don't have to look at it like. I'd prefer to look at it though, maybe I'm weird. I'll be getting my ear pierced with a 4mm needle in a few weeks

A passing thought...

Green eyes are sexy,

Aw that's cool, good idea leaving out the poo though. :P Thanks for the heads up! Mine would be roughly this size though. :pac:

I have green eyes. Well green/grey.

It's a good idea to get the first one small though. My first one was like 4 hours, and i'm such a pussy and didn't know what to expect.

I'm getting some realism done in August and I was told it'd take 12-15 hours!

Luno

I have greeny blue eyes. Am I in there?

I wanna get a tattoo sometime, hopefully next year. I know it's a catch-22 but I want it to be a good one :pac: I was thinking of getting 2 or 3 tattoos, probably just 2, of serotonin and dopamine, right next to each other somewhere. Maybe on opposite wrists or something. Why? :P Here's why: serotonin and dopamine are the two chemicals which make you feel warm and fuzzy and happy. People who are depressed have a deficiency, people who are happy most of the time have high levels. So that's why I'ma get a tattoo of them. Plus I think they look cool, nice neat straight lines FTW.

Yep my lobes were pierced with a gun and I still get scar tissue in my ears flaring up 10 years later!

EDIT: And I have green eyes :cool:

I love those tattoos. I know a guy with a labelled diagram of the heart tattooed on him and it's awesome.
