Banter by Piercing Pagoda — Local services in Lafayette

NEVER get any part of your body pierced with a piercing gun. 1. Piercing guns cannot be sterilized...GROSS. Wiping the gun down with alcohol, bleach, or any other "seems like a good idea" solution does not count as sterilization. 2. A piercing gun is forcing a blunt object through your skin. I cannot stress enough how harmful this can be to you. That kind of trauma leads to shattered cartilage, ruptured blood vessels, and extreme tissue irritation. 3. The jewelry used in those guns are absolute garbage. The price of the piercing reflects how garbage that material is. You can either pay $20-25 to more than likely find out you have a nickel allergy on top of the fact that your piercing was done with a cesspool instrument, or you can pay a professional for a piercing done with the proper instruments with implant grade metal in a sterile environment. If saving $10-30 is worth risking your health then....I really don't know what to say. As piercers, we take bloodborne pathogens/cross contamination, CPR, and first aide training on top of a lengthy apprenticeship where we study metal grades, proper piercing techniques, anatomy, and a million other things. We as an industry take pride in your health, our cleanliness, our professionalism, and your modification. If you are about to get pierced with a gun, please do yourself a favor and set a land speed record sprinting to a professional studio.
