I gun pierce. I know why I gun pierce, and I've read the literature on why it's bad and realize that a lot of it is massively outdated or otherwise currently untrue

We clean the guns with an alcohol swab. Nope, that does not sterilize it. But the gun never touches your skin, and after I touch the gun, I do not touch your skin unless I switch gloves. The gun may be contaminated, but it does not touch you, nor the stud. It touches a sterile, disposable cartridge holding a sterile stud.
Training- no, we don't pierce teddy bears. My girls pierced a foam ear, then pierced MY ear (I took it out right after) then pierced a customer. If they aren't good enough to make the process comfortable for me, they're not piercing anyone else. Then again, we're trained to do a lot that some people disregard after they're left in charge of doing piercings.
Piercing studs are much longer than people believe them to be. I have more space to move my ear studs than I did or do to move my nose stud. Also, aside from the backing, there is very little difference between the basic design of a barbell and the basic design of a piercing stud. Ball, straight bar, ball, VS ball, straight stud, back. Back that is designed to stay positioned at the far end of the stud.
Gah, the about article bothers me quite a bit. So much bad information... or maybe so many badly trained people. I can't tell which.
I can't say that I was impressed by the article, something about it just didn't sit well with me. I think that it's a combination of factors. You can train a person perfectly, give them flawless information, all the facts and all the tools to do things right, but they are going to do things how they want once training is done. Hopefully what they want is to do things the right way, but sadly, that isn't always the case.
