how does piercing pagoda work? and what are piercing earrings?

Question

I have seen piercing pagoda in east towne mall, and all it is is a stand, sort of. Do you just go inside where they stand, and sit in a chair and they do it? And i went to their website, and it said they dont use needles - they use some kind of piercing earrings? please tell me more

Answer 1

I expect they are referring to the same thing that was used when I got my ear pierced. It is a simple (cheap) stud earring with a pointed post instead of a normal post. So the piercing really just pushes the earring itself through your ear.

And yes, I believe you have the idea with Piercing Pagoda. You sit in a chair in the booth, and they do their thing.

Answer 2

They put a special kind of stud earring in a piercing gun and pierce your ear, it's very fast and only hurts for a second. You can sit down while they do it. You have to keep that earring in for a few weeks, then you can start wearing other kinds.

Answer 3

The earring has a needle point on the back and they shoot it through your ear with a special gun
