Review on πŸ’Ž Crystal Piercing Safety Earrings - Disposable by Jason Martinez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So far so good (2nd hole)

I'm not a doctor! Okay, so first the positives: Wow! Seriously, I lined it up with the notch, tightened it just enough to put pressure on the notch on the ear, tightened, and then just pushed really hard and fast. I didn't feel anything! I seriously thought I broke it the first time because the part holding the earring just popped out and I didn't feel like it went through my ear. Those pistol earrings in stores have always tormented me - I didn't feel anything with them. I am impressed! I'm not sure if they're as thick as the stud earrings you get at the grocery store (like Claire's at the mall) and that might explain the less pain - but it's not a sedative for me because regular earrings don't usually me I don't have big studs and since this is a second earring hole for me I won't put anything in it other than small studs. Cons: The earrings themselves are quite large for beginner earrings. I would prefer the rivets to be less than a millimeter (I have round white crystals). However, if these earrings stand the test of time, I may still use them in my first few earring holes later. Otherwise, I expect them to be "disposable". I have no attachment to those cheap stilettos because I already have quality ones. I mean come on 6 bucks lol. My advice: take out the back of the earrings and put them in the packaging before doing this. If you leave them in the gun, chances are they won't align properly and the process might not go as smoothly as mine did. I noticed that on a pistol the post was at a slight angle and if I left the chuck they would not line up with the earring's chuck hole. After the gun inserts the earring, apply alcohol to the backs before placing them on the studs. I always rub alcohol in a small 5 ounce spray bottle, so it's always quick and convenient to spray anything that requires alcohol this way, be it directly onto a wound, an instrument that needs sterilization (tweezers, needle, etc.). ), my toilet handle or a cotton swab and so on. Also, I washed my hands first and sprayed my hands with alcohol before using the earring gun AND I sprayed the earring gun myself beforehand. Aftermath: They don't hurt or throbbing. But sometimes I spray the front and back with alcohol and wiggle it a bit so the alcohol gets on the wound and it burns for a very brief moment (seconds). As for lying down, they definitely hurt lying down. I think how you lie and how soft your pillow is affects your comfort - and if you're very sensitive to pain I recommend getting an ear done, letting it heal so it doesn't hurt anymore, and then to do the other (this, by the way, if you sleep on your side you always have a side to lie on without discomfort) - but compared to how professionally I do it, this process is actually less painful. No wonder piercing shops/companies are trying to convince you not to use those disposable guns lol. They want you to pay. If they hurt too much a day or two afterward, you could become infected. So be sure to use warm water with mild soap and wash them several times a day. Dry them well with a fresh towel (such as paper towels) after each wash. Alcohol is good too. Professionals try to tell you not to use alcohol because "it causes scars" but I haven't had any aesthetic issues with drinking alcohol with 4 ear piercings and a lip ring. Again they want to sell you cleaning products lol. I also have her gun with a nose ring. but i started doing it slowly and pushed just enough to poke a small hole (enough to bleed very slightly like a pimple lol. almost no bleeding) but then it started to hurt and i couldn't just don't bring it up. Pooh. I am a chicken. I really want to do this but I may have to ask a friend to do it for me. someone who takes pleasure in hurting me hahahaha (otherwise they might be too afraid to do it quickly). Anyway, I hope this helps! If I encounter any problems I will update this review.
