How much u're looking at?
DON'T ever get a gun-piercing..professional speaking (not me but pro-piercers) don't even suggest getting gun ear-piercings...they tend to swell ur ears up and get keloids and lots of pain in the arse...trust me.

Dude.
No deal. Cheap!=you get what you pay for. Wouldn't you rather pay a little more and not get a gross unflattering infection? euuuggh! Yes, and I cannot even begin to stress the danger of piercing guns, those things CANNOT be sterilized! You're a pretty girl, don't go making that face all infected! I mean it now! <3

I also worked in a piercing shop for two years, I'm a jerk about this kind of stuff because I know my shit! The worst part about working there is the odd misconceptions the public has about that whole thing. Taking care of a piercing is definitely not rocket science, and it's bad enough when people come with all sorts of unbelievable rumors about the stuff (ironically enough, it always happens to a 'friend of a friend's cousin').

^^I actually haven't had any problems with paul's piercing's(langley and surrey locations) myself. All my piercings from there have healed nicely. THOUGH. They might not pierce with a screw over there. And it's not SO cheap there anymore. They used to just charge for the jewellery, but now they lowered the jewellery costs down A BIT and charge you $20 for insertion.
I got my nose screw put in at East Side Ink in Abbotsford. The guy does a great job (he did Ryan's Labret too). It cost me $60 though. Pricey, but I was NOT going to get it done with a gun.

see i was gonna go to pauls piercings, i signed the waiver and everything, and then found out it was gonna cost me about 90 bucks
which is WAY too much....yes the piercing is only 20 bucks and its done with a needle, in a very sterialized environment, but the jewlery i wanted was 76 bucks... fuck that the other ones that were cheap apparently turn green, or are too short and fall out easily.

I have 7 gun piercings (including nose and tragus) and I have never once had a problem with them. People who have problems with gun piercings generally have very sensitive skin - everyone's body reacts differently. I got mine done with a gun at an Indian jewelry store on Main and 49th two years ago, and I haven't had a single problem with it (and no I didn't get hepatitis, either!).

^^^ its not just the disease issue, its that getting it pierced with a gun can cause the cartilage in your nose to seperate leaving you with a huge bump of cartilage.
and ya i dont like getting pierced with guns just because they can never be sterilized properly

The area of your nose where you would pierce is actually a soft cartilage, versus the harder cartilage of your septum, for example. The harder cartilage has a way greater chance of seperating than the soft cartilage because the softer cartilage is flexible and therefore will absorb the impact of the piercing.

i was going to get mine done at Sacred Heart, but at the time I was really broke and coudln't afford $60 ... so I was told that Sinister Skin {in port moody} where my friend Jen was working at the time was $40. So I went there, and I will NEVER go back. The piercing itself was fine, the guy did a good job. But he told me it'd be $45 for the screw so I went to the glass display and said I wanted the clear jeweled screw, and I thought that's what he grabed, but when it was done it was a HUGE silver screw and cost me $60. I was not impressed, I really wished I had just gone to Scared Heart.

Well if you want cheap just use the following recipe for success:
2 vodka and crannies 1 roll of duct tape 1 drillgun (1/8" gage by default) 10 ready to go whipit (nitrus oxide) cartridges 1 ball of cotton 2 pennies and a ball of lint Don't waste time to book on appointments or waste your money on trained professionals, that's all just shmoozing for the schlemiels to make an event of this. Piercing isn't a big deal and the procedure can and should be done at home, a little blood never hurt anyone! Just ask one of many self-satisfied customers like David here:  *WARNING! Results may vary* Be sure to do the nitrus afterwords, and happy drilling!
