Review on Enhanced Studex Universal Piercing Starter Kits by Daniel Teller

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Light. At least mostly.

When I received my item it was quite obvious that it was intended for those who intend to use it commercially and offer simple piercing in a shop or shop. That's not me. In fact, I don't know if I'll ever use it, which is fine as I don't want to deal with third parties in this endeavor. I just had to re-pierce my ear as the original piercing had closed up a while ago. This kit contains everything you need to make a simple piercing yourself without any help. It also includes a thick cardboard practice ear which I recommend at least once as another reviewer here said it doesn't shoot straight. I didn't have this problem as my gun fired right where I set it up. The kit includes a pair of smooth stainless steel ball studs. The kit instructions openly emphasize the importance of sterility and/or hygiene in your method. In this method, the stud and clasp are loaded into the gun through a plastic magazine into which the earrings are loaded to avoid touching them with physically dirty hands. It is then recommended to mark the ear at the desired puncture site with the black marker pen provided. Now back to the loaded breech and bolt guns, and this is important. I decided to do this procedure over the sink in front of the mirror. I laid the loaded piercing gun on my side to mark the ear. As I raised the gun to begin the jabbing, the stainless steel pin fell out of the gun and went straight down the drain. Luckily I only got one ear pierced and I had the other earring which I put in the cardboard practice ear but unfortunately I had to handle it with dirty hands and went against the instructions. Careful not to drop the second earring, I fitted the piercing to my ear but still felt a little uncomfortable waiting for the piercing to snap onto my earlobe. I think it's best not to wait. Anyway, I pulled it out and it turned out great. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a simple piercing and doesn't have to deal with one of those teen shops at the local mall.
