Ok well first, which hurts moregetting your ear lobes pierced with a gun or a needle (proffesionally)? Also, I pierced my own ears without numbing them with a needle, I didn't shove the needle in, I did it slowly. I've over grown them, but will getting them done professionally hurt more than doing them yourself or not?
Will it make a difference at all because I've had them done before?
Thanks everyone! xx

I think getting it done yourself hurts more because professionaly is quick and semi painless. Go to claires you can get it done free with a starter pack..Ive seen little girls get it done with out fussing..Ive even seen a man get it done there.

There shouldn't be much difference between a needle and a gun. I hear a needle hurts more because it's slower, but ear lobes are not that sensitive. It won't hurt much more than a pinch. Don't worry :) I've gotten three piercings on my lobes, all with a gun and I barely even felt them. If you could deal with doing it yourself with a needle, anything a pro does will feel like nothing. Trust me. I pierced my cartilage myself, OUCH. It shouldn't make a difference in your lobe if you've had them done before. You can ask, but it should have completely healed and shouldn't be a problem. And if you're like me and get nervous around needles, sing the alphabet in your head. I know it sounds stupid, but seriously, for some reason it helps :) It won't hurt. Relax.
Another person said something about getting AIDS from a needle? won't happen with a pro. A real pro sterilizes all the needles first. They use it once, and then send it to a place where it is put in an autoclave which sterilizes it COMPLETELY. Then it's sealed in a bag and sent back. There is actually more of a health risk with guns. You won't get a disease with either. Just don't do it on your own anymore!

I sure hope you steralized the needle before you used it!!It would hurt more by getting it pierced by a needle. You did not numb your ear so there for it would have hurt more, it is best to get it proffeesionally done because they are trained to proffesionally pierce body parts! i hope i helped!

I think the gun is faster and less painful it stings for like a second and then it goes away I have had my ears pierced both ways and I fee that the best way is by a professional with the gun!

first of all you dont get a choice whether or not to get them done with a gun or a needle.. they all use guns now.. no it doesnt hurt. and it will probably hurt less then doing it to yourself becoz its quick.where as if u do it yourself again ur going slow, and it will be painful again. and yes the fact that you did it yourself the first time coul very well effect it a second time.

Umm, well i can't say which hurts more because I would never self-Peirce anything on my body. Getting your ears pierced on your lobes doesnt hurt a bit, but the ones at the top (cartilage part) does hurt.

Getting it done profecinally is better, i had it done with a gun and you only feel a sharp pain for 1 second, and then it goes away. of course i almost fainted, and they put a smelly thing under my nose to keep me awake. ive had my ears pierced for about 4 years, and they havent grown over yet :D

DONT EVER PEIRCE UR EAR WITH A NEEDLE. u can get a disease or aids if the needle is contaminated ,only get ur ears peirced by a PROFFESIONAL that will do it with a gun.
PS. CAN U PLEASE choose me for best answere=) xoxo
