I agree with the poster above. With that being said you might run into issues getting it done. I called every piercing shop in my town (to pierce with a needle instead of a gun) and none of them do it unless the child is 3 or older a few shops wouldn't do it unless she's 5.
Needle is safer from contamination since the gun can't be sanitized properly and they use the same gun for everyone it's never a new gun unlike needles you get a new needle for every person so your just passing germs from ear to ear of everyone with the gun
I don’t agree i feel like the gun is better for a baby the needle takes a piece of your ear out ... but to each its own do whatever you feel is safer for your child...

whenever you do, avoid piercing guns. they cannot be sanitized and are very damaging to their ears. most people wait until 2-3 months i believe.

My oldest for hers pierced when she was 5 months. My little one got hers at 1 years old.

With a gun ... to me a gun is less painless for them ... their ears are so fragile a needle is too much in my opinion...

guns can’t be cleaned, it’s also blunt force trauma to your ear, whereas a needle goes straight through and is less painful.
