Well, on the other hand, if the dog goes missing that sure is one sure fire way to identify it:

"Missing dog. Has pierced ears. Please call if found."

I completely agree.

Quoting Viv, Ev & Gwen ♥:" Yup, it damages the tissue more than necessary. Needles are better, as are internally threaded earrings."

I've never heard of internally threaded earrings.

Quoting Thisperyears:" I've never heard of internally threaded earrings."

Me neither.

I also didn't know it wasn't good to use a gun. I haven't had a piercing since I was 6

Very true. Lol

I couldnt imagine reading the flyer without being like "Wtf?" Kinda like those eye lashes people put on car headlights. "Car was stolen, has big eyelashes"

Yeah. With guns it pretty much jams a regular earring through the skin and/or cartilage. You probably know how blunt earrings are. With a needle they use a sharper point to make the hole then put the piercing in. Takes more time but it hurts less and is much cleaner.

Quoting Thisperyears:" I've never heard of internally threaded earrings."

They're fantastic. They're impossible to mis-thread or tighten too much, so they don't get stuck on swollen ears the way traditional earring backs can. Less pain. They're good for facial piercings too because none of the ridges ever shred through your hole when you change jewelry.

<blockquote><b>Quoting Mommy of a giggler!:</b>" It's odd, but not really all that different from how they tag cattle...."</blockquote>


That's what I was going to say. They tag and tattoo cattle, sheep, goats and pigs, and the tags they put in their ears make much larger holes than a pair of earrings. Not to mention the number of people who crop dogs' ears and tails. I wouldn't do it. I think it's dumb, but it's really not that big of a deal IMO.

Hm. I think I'm gonna aak my piercer when I get my conch done on Sunday  

Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

Hm. Learn something new every day

That's really the only logical conclusion we can come to.

Oh yeah! Conch piercings are so little, it'd be good.
