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.

If you get your piercings done by a professional body piercer there is no risk that an earring will become embedded. Piercing guns are the only reason studs become embedded in piercings, that's why professional body piercers hate piercing guns so much. Piercing guns are used by people with no knowledge of the bodies ability to heal, and therefore they care less about your piercing or your health. it's just a pay cheque to them. See a professional body piercer who will use jewellery designed to work with you and your personal style while still caring about you and your piercing.
