	Ear piercing guns suck
		The way they work seems fairly simple: with an earring stud in place in the adapter, and a backing in the cradle, the tension regulator is pulled back or "cocked", the point of the stud is used as a guide for aim and the trigger is pulled, forcing the stud through the flesh.
		Often the earring adapter will not release the earring once it is already in place, inside the ear, and it has to be removed by pulling at it with pliers.
		Body piercing is usually done with a sterile, single use, long smooth hollow needle that had a razor sharp tip, this minimalizes the damage to tissues.
