two of my cartilage piercings were done with a gun, in Malaysia ... and another one was done by needle in the US

there is a definite difference in healing time
Spunkberry, does it hurt more using a needle, cause of the slower process, where the needle is like sticking inside the ear, then the fellow will insert the earring.....
cause gun is like, within seconds, everything is done.
I have one friend who did nose piercing with gun, another friend with needle. I thought of having it done with needle, but so far can't locate any shop using needle. So, I actually thought of going for the gun.......
Anyway, Conch piercing looks cool...but I doubt my curiousity will lead me there...

haha..
