 A. No. In fact, we cringe when people call our piercing instrument a gun. Unlike our specially-engineered,​ hand-pressured instrument, piercing guns are spring-loaded and LOUD. Piercing guns “shoot” the piercing earring through the lobe. Our human-powered instrument is designed to pierce the ear quickly and accurately in one smooth, quiet, hand-pressured motion. A.

-**Q. Is it safe to pierce my baby’s ears?** +
- +
-A. Yes. Babies are pierced at a very young age worldwide. Inverness recommends that parents wait until after the first DPT vaccination which is usually administered at 8 weeks. At Mary L, we would like the babies to be at least 10 weeks old and all immunizations up to date.  However, this is a personal decision, and we recommend that you discuss your specific situation with your baby’s pediatrician. +

-**Q. Do you have any ear piercing tips for babies & small children?​** +
- +
-A. Do your homework. +
- +
-  * Make sure to choose a location that carries the Inverness System. Only Inverness piercing earrings have our patented Safety Back™ to shield your little one from the earring’s sharp piercing tip. +
-  * Select a location that is able to provide two associates to pierce your child’s ears simultaneously. The Inverness System is ideal for babies because it is extremely fast and quiet. Simultaneous piercings make the process even easier for children and their parents. +
-  * Bring your camera & other family members to help record and celebrate this happy milestone! +

-**Q. ****If ear piercing for the child or the baby, what kind of earrings should choose?** +
- +
-A. Please introduce the customer chooses 3mm CZ, 4mm ball or the big design; The 14K gold can quite be appropriate. The too small earrings have the possibility to bury in child'​s ear. Beware of Bacterial Infection Redness, pain or swelling is not a normal result of piercing. If any of these conditions exist more than 24 hours after piercing, consult a physician. +
