What is Piercing Needle?
A cannula piercing needle (or a piercing catheter) is a piercing needle that’s sheathed in plastic tubing. After the piercing has been made in the skin, the plastic tubing remains and the piercing/jewelry is inserted into the hole.

Are piercing needles the same as medical needles?
Piercing needles are specifically designed and sterilized for body piercings and differ from medical syringe needles.
It’s important to visit a professional and reputable piercing studio that uses the proper equipment and follows strict hygiene and safety protocols.
Do needles hurt more than piercings?
Piercings Won’t Be as Painful
That sounds scary, but it’s no different than a doctor using a needle. You may feel a brief pinch and some pressure, but beyond that, there won’t be much pain. Piercing guns shove blunt jewelry through your earlobes. This is going to cause more pain, damage, and bruising.
Do needle piercings heal faster?
Needles result in less tissue trauma, shorter healing time, and a more hygienic piercing procedure than piercing with a piercing gun. Needles also allow for your piercers to get a more precise piercing angle for the perfect piercing.
