Do you use a piercing gun?Updated a year ago

We do not use a piercing gun! Rowan Nurses use a hand-pressurized instrument. This uses the pressure (and complete control) of a Rowan Nurse's hand to safely guide, place, and pierce! This instrument holds a sterilized single-use cartridge containing the sterile starter stud earrings that pierce the ear.

Piercing earrings are pre-sterilized, and have long posts and safe backings to ensure optimal healing. We never use a piercing gun, as they can damage the ear tissue.

Unlike piercing guns, which use spring-loaded mechanisms to pierce forcefully, a hand-pressurized instrument allows for gentle and direct control of each and every piercing.

We also offer piercings with a hollow needle. Hollow needles are the only piercing option for parts of the ear other than the outer perimeter of the ear.
