No, since there's no such thing as a sterile piercing gun. Their guns are made of plastic, and CANNOT BE STERILIZED. They put a sterile piercing in it and pierce you with that (MUCH more traumatic, due to its shape, than a needle by the way...) but the gun itself can never be put into an autoclave machine and thus cannot be sterilized. It can shoot bits of debris (read: bits of blood/flesh of previous people) a foot or more through the air, and technically/potentially give you hepatitis. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) does NOT endorse piercing guns, for this reason. For more information, just Google something like "Piercing guns suck". The AAP (American Association of Professional Piercers) and BMEZine (hugest resource on body modification) opposes them too.

Can you get your cartilage pierced at Piercing Pagoda?
You probably can but don't. They use piercing guns which are HORRIBLE especially for cartilage piercings. It can shatter your cartilage because of the pressure. Not to mention how disgusting they are. The only way to clean them is to wipe them down which means that the insides are filled with sweat, blood, skin, dirt and anything else that happens to get in there. You're more likely to get infections from guns and places that use guns are known fro having low quality jewelery that breaksdown in your ears.

Is it essential to use sterile gloves when performing body piercings?
Absolutely, if your piercer is not wearing one time use sterile gloves go to somebody else....Universal precautions {sterile environment, covered surfaces and sterile jewelry, one time use needles etc. etc.} are a MUST...Hope this helps Gloves are not only used to protect the person who is getting the piercing, they are to protect the piercer as well. If a piercing bleeds, you do not want a transfer in blood from the piercee to the piercer. It is not healthy for either person if the piercer does not wear gloves.

What do they use to pierced your tongue?
A gun with a needle like they use on ears. This is absolutely wrong! And actually, you shouldn't get your ears pierced with a gun either, because guns do not come apart, and thus cannot be properly sterilized. Also, at least in the US, working a piercing gun does not make you a licensed piercer. (Claire's, Icing, the Piercing Pagoda, and many other jewelry stores have each of their employees "trained" on using a piercing gun. Many people I know have gone back to a professional piercer to get their ears fixed.) A tongue piercing is done by using a clamp to hold the tongue in place and provide guidance for the piercing needle. The piercing needle (which should be opened from a sterile pack in front of you) is then slowly but firmly pushed through the tongue, while the piercer pays close attention to your body language to make sure no nerves are damaged during the process. If you really want the full details, call your local licensed piercer, and he or she should be able to give you all the info you need. If not, that's not the person you want poking holes in you!
What does a piercing gun do?
A piercing gun takes a blunt stud and fires it into the earlobe, essentially this is like branding cattle. As piercing guns cannot be cleaned they risk infection and blood born diseases, jewelry used can cause irritation and allergic reaction, they can also misfire. Furthermore no piercer would ever use a gun, piercing studio staff are trained for a reason and understand that piercing guns are dangerous, thus the only people who would use such tools are not trained and so pose high risk of misuse.
Is ear piercing free at Claires?
Technically they say that the piercing is free and you have to pay for the jewelery. But since they use guns, they have to use the jewelry to pierce your ears. So, ultimately, you do have to pay. If I were you, I wouldn't go to claires. They aren't professionals and guns are HORRIBLE. I could rant on this forever but just do some google searches and I"m sure that you won't use a gun.
Can you pierce the web in between your thumb and finger with a ear piercing gun?
Absolutely not. Piercing guns, no matter what they advertize, cannot be fully sterilized, and cause blunt trauma to the pierced area by forcing a dull post through unbroken skin. If you want a piercing that won't get infected, go to your local tattoo shop where they will use a clean, sharp, and sterile needle. Your piercing will heal better, look better, and be much, much less painful.
