You didn't need to start a new thread for this; you're asking basically the same question.

Your piercing should be done with stainless steel/surgical steel, not silver. There is a difference.

As answered in your other post, yes it can be done with a gun, but a needle is better. Most reputable piercers will use a needle.

Again, are you underage and planning on doing this on your own, or are you planning on going to a professional?

This is true.

Your first months of a pericing should be sergical steel. Needles are prefered for naval pericings due to the high risk of infections using a gun.

Additionally, by "infections", we aren't just talking about something you can take some antibiotics to get over. A gun can't be cleaned properly, which means things like AIDS. HIV, Hepatitis can be spread.

a gun does not produce a clean cut hole-it punches a point through-this is usually the incorrect guage for body jewellry anyway-a reasonable guage should be 14, guns usually use a much finer guage (for ear stud posts)
