Gun piercings are common for earlobes but performing it can cause damage to delicate tissues. While piercing cartilage with a gun is difficult due to the strength of cartilage & the sheer force needed to puncture the tissues. Piercing guns come pre-loaded with jewelry - this jewelry is usually gold-plated or stainless steel, which is not hypoallergenic & therefore many people have reactions to & reject the piercing.

It is estimated that gun piercings take a year longer to heal on average compared to hollow needle piercings.
