  Trauma is actually caused by pressure it pierce the area. And most traumatized areas has a greater tendency to be infected. Piercing guns cause the most trauma to an area so i suggest that you avoid being pierced by a piercing gun

  It's a common matter that whenever we are getting pierced, we normally faced some problems as nora taylor. But I think with proper and scientific piercing and finally taking general aftercare can reduce your panic. I also do agree with rose mendlewood not to use piercing gun.

  Actually already some people is attacked with brain abscess for tongue piercing, even few are died for that reason. Actually tongue piercing a sensitive piercing because it is totally inner side our body. So be careful to have pierced in your tongue specially in instrument which is used in piercing.
