In talking to professional tatooist & piercers, I've been advised NEVER to use a gun for any form of body piercing as it forms scar tissue because of the trauma of the "shot", whereas the needle slides into the skin and does less damage.
One of my MIL's foster daughters had her ears pierced when she was 6 months old, she looked cute but it isn't a look I really like on kids, I'd rather they get to make their own decision when they're older (like in their teens). What I can't stand is single studs on small boys & those tribal rings on teens (but then again I've got an aversion to anything tribal on people unless they're part of that tribe)
I got mine done for the first time when I was 7 (via gun & had lots of problems), just before we went to Fiji on holidays, I got the 2nd hole in left ear done in Europe when I was 16 (did it myself - was drunk in Venice ), did the 3rd (in left ear again) when I was 17 (same time I got my first tattoo), at 26 got nose done (and 2nd tattoo) & nipple at 28, I now do not wear anything in any of my piercings, haven't done since I was 30, except for earrings on my wedding day.
