Closed petition Ban the use of piercing guns.

Closed on 7 March 2021

We want to ban the use of piercing guns for children and adult safety. Many companies use these guns and there are many stories of people’s piercing going wrong.

Piercing guns use blunt force trauma to pierce ears. This bursts the skin and leaves the wound open to infection and other diseases. The gun only uses one size of earring and this often leads to wounds healing wrong and in a lot of cases, the earring becomes trapped within the skin.

Professional piercing needles are a lot more sanitary, safe and efficient for piercing. Children from a young age are being subject to unsafe piercings.

Ban piercings guns for our childrens', and others' basic safety!
