Ban piercing guns In Ireland

The Issue

Help ban piercing guns in Ireland for good!

being in the industry for many years and having seen people who have experienced the problems first hand caused by these is countless

we need to get the Irish government and HSE to recognise the problems and health risk these pose on people 

Guns are unsanitary and problematic - Professional Piercers go through years of training to make sure everything is safe and hygienic for a reason


• Piercing guns put clients in direct contact with the blood and body fluids of previous clients. Plastic guns CANNOT be sterilised and pose a great risk for bloodborne pathogen transmission/infection.


• Piercing guns cause significant tissue damage due to blunt force trauma and can shatter cartilage.


• The length/design of gun studs is inappropriate. Butterfly backs have many folds where fluid/bacteria can accumulate.
