All our piercing professionals are re-certified annually. … We’ve been piercing ears since 1969, so we’ve got plenty of ‘ears’ of experience. To ensure a safe and hygienic experience, Piercing Pagoda uses only specifically designed, high quality pre-sterilized, pre-packaged piercing earrings. We never use needles.
In respect to this, is Piercing Pagoda safe for cartilage?
Yes. With the system used by Piercing Pagoda, cartilage ear piercing is just as gentle as lobe piercing.
Consequently, what size needle is used for cartilage piercing?
18g
Beside this, why is it better to get your cartilage pierced with a needle?
‘Cartilage should always be pierced with a needle. A piercing gun isn’t designed for cartilage, only soft tissue and even then I wouldn’t recommend it. Piercing cartilage with a gun can create hardcore hypertrophic scarring and even blow it up.
