It ain’t ear piercing,

The procedure for a good body piercing isn’t the same is for getting your earlobes pierced. Most earlobe piercings that you see done in a mall or jewelry store involve using a piercing gun that quickly shoots the actual earring post through the earlobe. This may be fine for an area of the body that has soft tissue and is easily pierced, but when it comes to your tongue, forget it. 

Some turkeys use guns but they're fairly crap.  They dont line up and they would have to be awfully powerful to get through some of the thicker parts of the body.  Basically you should never go for a piercing from some turkey with nothing but a gun who claims he can pierce your belly with it.

What you want is a pro with lots of rubber gloves and a set of professional piercing needles.  I'll write some more about piercing needles tomorrow.
