Crazy ways of piercing
There are several methods that have been used historically to get the punch hole done. Below we list a few of them for you.
- Standard needle (most common)
- Cannula method
- Dermal punching
- Piecing gun
Most methods above are self explanatory except for that Cannula method. This one is just a long hollow plastic tube used at the end of the need. In any case, the piercing takes usually just a few minutes, keeping it from getting infected is much more important. Ask about this if you should ever get this done and good luck.
