Hygenic Ear piercing?

[LollerBrader]

Anyone know where to get hygenic ear-piercing done?

I'm seeking something that uses disposable, 1-use needles.

I checked with Merle Norman at Market Mall, and they just wipe the point with an alcohol cloth.

Looking for something more...

if you go ot Ardene or similar places, they use guns...otherwise possibly a peircing/tattoo shop?

I can't imagine that ANYWHERE uses a needle twice.

What do you refer to as "hygenic"? Go to any piercing shop and get it done, if you go anywhere that uses a gun you're a moron.

Go to a proper piercing shop. Those guns cannot be sterilized properly.

I went to Devine on 17th. It looks like a hole walking in, the store looks like a hole, but all in all the girls know exactly what they are doing and are super clean.

I had both my ears pierced and you are supposed to soak them in salt water twice a day or something. I think i only did that once or twice (way less than you are supposed to) and I didn't get an infection.

I highly recommend.

They don't use the point in the gun to pierce your ear... you buy the set of starter studs that are pointed and they load a sterile stud earring into the gun and that is pushed through your ear.

yea I thought the needles were all 1 time use...

I had a piercing done @ divine. kind of expensive
also been to tribal expressions.
both the same shit but TE is the "only exclusive piercing shop" in calgary

It's still the absolute worst choice for piercing but hey, what do I know?

Heard on the news last week i think the Ardene in Market Mall had their permit pulled for not have running water or the proper equipment to clean the peircing guns.

No idea what you know. But I know that I never commented or said anything to the effect that it was or was not a good method of piercing.

Don't be cheap and go to a real piercing place... You get what you pay for, and do you really want some 17 year olds that work at the mall putting holes in your body?

I've gotten a few done at tribal expressions, but they're fairly expensive. Got one years ago at Immaculate Concept (near 17th) and was impressed. Only place I've gotten something where I wasn't impressed was Body Inc... I know a bunch of people who have gotten tats or piercings there and had no problem though...

A friend of mine does piercings at Gypsy Rose and really knows her stuff, check them out!

I don't get the fuss about piercing guns for ears... especially lobes. I had both of mine done in the early 90s with a piercing gun and they were totally fine. No infection, no weird scarring, nothing. I ditched my earrings about a year and a half ago after 18 years.... they healed up with almost no mark at all.

I wouldn't want anything else pierced with them... but lobe piercing is pretty basic.
