There is no data on ear piercings in general, however with ear piercings performed with a so-called 'piercing gun' the percentage of infected piercings is as high as 75%.
Piercing guns are unsafe primarily because they cannot be cleaned - dirty guns mean high risk of infection, also risk of blood-born disease such as hepatitis. But other problems include using blunt-force trauma resulting in longer healing time, and unsuitable jewellery; wrong metal increasing risk of allergic reaction, porous metal allowing harbouring of bacteria, incorrect size and rough edges irritating skin.
Piercings by professionals with correct tools are FAR less likely to get infected.
