Piercing PagodaBlackWolf99 - 2005-09-30 04:34:23 Uhr
I'm sure everyone has heard of or seen the Piercing Pagodas that they have in the malls right? well i jsut wanted to say that personally i would never recomend getting your ears pierced there(as ears are all they do) i've done all of my own piercings(7..used to be 9 but one migrated and the other i had to take out because i didn't have a short enough bar and it kept getting pulled) and none of them have ever gotten infected..the only one i ever got at the Piercing Pagoda got infected...i later took it out and redid it myself and it was fine. but never get it done at piercing pagoda. none of their equipment is properly sterilized. they use guns which use excess force to put the jewelry into your ear and it damages the skin tissue of your ear and causes all sorts of extra damage to your ear. also because they use guna, which are made of plastic, they cannot sterilize them because doing it the proper way would melt the guns. so the same dirty gun is used on plenty of different people. so i would never recomend piercing pogoda for piercings...depending on the jewelry too..i wouldn't recomend it..i have two earrings from there that whenever i put them in (even though the holes are healed now) they always get infected..so i tend not to use them or buy jewelry from piercing pagoda...

dude, post this in the piercing one, itll help alot more people there, i wouldnt have though to look here for that. but yes so true!! i even see piercing guns on ads now, theres a girl whos turning 14 and shes in love with jewellery and she goes and gets her ears pierced for her 14th, you see them do it with a gun and her walk out happy, what you dont see is the infection that probably follows...

some piercing pogodas are trustworthy and clean! you have to know which place is the right one to go to! it is not in the gun, it is in the needle where the infection is most! so beware!
Re: Piercing Pagodaxtremly_pierced_n_tattooed - 2005-10-07 08:04:11 Uhr
that is extreme bullshit. properly sterilized equiptment and piercing with a needle is more reliable with piercing done by a gun anyday!
Re: Piercing PagodaSharn_666 - 2005-10-07 09:57:15 Uhr
yip, i agree, what a load of @!#$. guns CANT be sterilised properly full stop, end of story. they use excessive force (unlike the properly sterilised needles!!) and dont put correct jewellery in.

The Piercing Pagoda in Suffolk County has managed to operate for decades without giving a bad name to piercing guns. The biggest problem is that so many places that use piercing guns use them to pierce the cartilage and the instruction manual specifically says to use the gun only on ear lobes.
You folks talk a good talk about the horrors of piercing guns, however there is no evidence of increased infections due to the proper use of piercing guns (which actually come with pre-sterilized jewelry), and trust me if Suffolk County thought there was risk they would have banned guns years ago. They did force the local Piercing Pagoda to install a sink, as the lack of it was considered a problem.
Our parents’ generation was pierced millions of times with piercing guns and they are still considered acceptable for ear piercing. I used one myself for years on friends (about 24 of them) and not one experienced an infection of any kind.
I find the comments here to be well intentioned but ignorant, if there was any suspicion of an increased risk of infection the Health department would have known about it before most of you were even born. The jewelry for the Medi-Stud system comes pre-sterilized so any source of infection would have to come elsewhere (or through cross contamination). Please direct me to a study anywhere that shows that piercing guns are unsafe and I'll forward it. I'm not looking for cult slogans; I'm looking for hard medical evidence that a Dr would be able to understand.
That said, I know for a fact that getting your ear pierced with a piercing needle is far less painful than with a piercing gun.
Another load of nonsense is the supposed superiority of sea salt over pure salt. The highest grades of sea salt are loaded with contaminants; I saw it being made by barefoot people who literally rake it over mud to collect it (remember you hear it here first!) Sea salt does work but the supposed superiority of it is based on folklore, the medical community uses pure salt- and I do too!
The sad fact is the modern piercing industry has been built on lies since the days of Doug Malloy (A.K.A. Richard Simonton), the sooner this industry rids itself of the myths that it's self perpetuating the better. I can only support propositions that come with hard proof, every time someone swears they have hard proof they resort to calling me names instead of showing the proof that I need to proceed- tricks are for kids.

ok ok i have one lol. the studs they use are too short which dont allow for swelling thus creating a oppertunity for bacteria to breed because the skin touches metal so tightly its hard as hell to clean and creates a lovely breeding ground for all those nasties :P
Re: Piercing Pagodaxtremly_pierced_n_tattooed - 2005-10-09 03:48:09 Uhr
i think you try to talk a good game but you are still full of @!#$.
first of all YOU ARE NOT A PIERCER, DO NOT IMPERSONATE ONE!
i have seen many infections because of piercings. for many reasons. 1. poor quality of the jelery used in the piercing guns 2. jewlery is too short to allow for swelling 3. piercing pagoda are not required to use gloves and i have watched first hand people use their bare hands to clean the ear and then touch the ear again without clenaing it again. they put the jewlery into the gun using bare hands which in fact make the jewlery what?? NOT STERILE! yes cross contamination. piercings pagodas are not required to hold to the same standards that we are in shops that in its own fact makes it dangerous! (installing a sink, that means what? they are not inforcing anything) 4. blunt force trauma vs. needle piercings, it does so much more damage to the tissue AND i have seen when the guns backfire and people have had to redo 3-4 times to even get it through the earlobe.
all you want to do is fight and you come on here acting like a know it all and asking for documented proof on everything. screw your documented proof. i see it all first hand, i dont need documents to tell me what the truth is! the only things you know about tattoos and piercings is what you read, you dont do them, you read (then steal) other peoples information and claim it as your own. when you have never did the stuides yourself or worked in a shop and documented any of the information first hand. so screw your theories.
sea salt vs. pure salt, what are you thinking? everyone has their own ways to heal piercings and now you have a problem with sea salts? many good cleaning products for piercings are made with sea salts and like i said, you aren't seeing it first hands so you really have no proof yourself that sea salts are less effective than pure salt. i use sea salt and i have so for 8 years, tell me again i don't knwo what i am talking about. different cleaning regimes are different for different people but again don't call it a myth in the industry when you actualy have nothing to do with the industry. i will remind you of the article that was written about you, i think that is proof enough that you really have no bearing on this industry what so ever. you are not who you say you are and are trying to bullshit your way into peoples heads trying to make yourself seem like someone your not. you are nobody more important than anyone else, don't falsely represent yourself once again.
Re: Piercing PagodaBlackWolf99 - 2005-10-11 06:55:18 Uhr
yea you said that the jewelry they use comes sterilized..and you know..i believe that..but lets think a bit..they then UNWRAP the jewelry and put it into a dirty, dusty display case. and then when people come to get their ears pierced they take jewelry and look at it..so you now have random people touching jewelry, and unsterilized hands of the "piercers" touching the jewelry along with the nasty display cases, and then you have the now unsterilized jewelry put into an unsterilized gun(merely because its plastic and can not be sterilized) and then the gun bluntly shoves the jewelry through the ear ass opposed to a specialized needle that is ment to go through the skin smoothly.(about the equvilant of thrusting a baseball bat through a pumpkin as opposed to shoving, say, a sharpened sword through a pumpkin- in this example its obvious which will do more harm...the baseball bat not the sword). and another thing..you need so much to have proof and studies..heres some proof and a bit of a study..when the majority of the piercing community and industry seems to believe and stand behind the fafct that piercing guns are bad for you...is that not good enough? if many experienced people and proffesionals are opposed to something due to first hand experience then i'd have to say that thats your study right there. majority rules type situation.
oh and i will repost this in the other sections as well.. thanks for the idea.
Re: Piercing Pagodasweetpeagj - 2005-11-12 22:54:49 Uhr
i wouldn't recommend them either but before you get stressed they do not use the same plastic gun over and over. They are one time use them thrown out.
Re: Piercing Pagodasweetpeagj - 2005-11-12 23:02:42 Uhr
I have never had anyone touch jewelry that I intended to get pierced with. Where in the hell do you go? Mine have always been unsealed after I have chosen the design I want then they put on gloves, clean completely then pierce. You are a moron. If you purchase jewelry and don't disinfect it before using it..you are dumber than I believe to be the case. I clean all my piercing jewelry BEFORE putting it into any part of my body.
Re: Piercing PagodaSharn_666 - 2005-11-13 10:17:24 Uhr
they are not always one time use guns, you can get reusable ones
Re: Piercing Pagodasweetpeagj - 2005-11-15 14:31:41 Uhr
I always threw them out when I did one piercing. I have a real piercing gun that I used too. They do not recomend using them more than once if it is the little plastic ones.
Re: Piercing Pagodaan0nymous_vamp1re - 2005-12-07 18:39:09 Uhr
They do use the same one over and over. I have seen them with 6 people sitting down, and they just pierced one after the other with the same gun. They didn't even wipe it down between piercings, just reloaded it with UNSTERILE jewellry
Re: Piercing Pagodasassy_heina - 2008-01-09 02:41:43 Uhr
My brother just got his lobe pierced there a few weeks ago (against my recommendation), and the jewelry used was not from the case. They merely looked at the code on the back for reference and got out a piercing package with that particular jewelry. The lady DID use gloves, and I watched her throw away the gun afterwards.
I agree that there are better methods, but I would also like to believe that everyone on this site is about informing themselves (as opposed to arguing over who knows more about what). Piercing Pagoda apparently caters to a different customer bracket. They are conveniently located in malls, and I think the needle might be scary or daunting to a little girl who has decided to get her ears pierced. (I got my lobes done when I was about 7, and I know a needle would have scared me then).
I wouldn't even consider this "sticking up for" Piercing Pagoda, because I wouldn't go there myself. I just feel that we are picking apart a place that does not seem to be concerning itself with competing in the piercing community. As mentioned earlier, they only pierce ears. I also don't think the top executives of Piercing Pagoda are going to shut down their locations because we don't solicit them on this site.
