    Getting any piercing done at claire's is not good because the guns they use can't be cleaned properly and will always have someone else's bacteria on them...
    Piercing with a gun doesn't really hurt but it hurts less with a needle and the shock of the gun can sometimes damage the cartilage...

    -source: information from a tattoo/piercing shop, have 4 piercer friends, have 28 piercings myself.-

    Oh and about the age, any age between maybe 15 up would be good although some people do it younger and prefer it older

    Don't get the cartalige done with a gun because it can shatter your cartilage as horrble as that sounds! Use the needle!
