I want to note that if you purchase a piercing gun you should be aware of the damage it can do to fresh piercings. I must assume you're not a professional or you would be well aware of the many different catalogs you could purchase the equipment from.
The modern piercing gun cannot be 100% sanitized because it cannot be autoclaved. There are parts that the piercer cannot reach entirely to clean with alcohol even. This means bits of other flesh (even if it's your own, it's sat there for a little while and grown bacteria) will be jammed into the fresh wound.
If the gun is used on other people than yourself then you're subject to contracting Hepatitis or even HIV from it.
Also, the piercing gun does damage to the surrounding tissue of the puncture wound. They can cause excess scar tissue. This is because it punctures your body by blunt force instead of a sharp, clean, swift motion of a needle. This trauma to your flesh can cause more soreness and makes it more prone to infection.
Even a simple infection can leave your body deformed. You may have to see a doctor multiple times and may end up having the piercing lanced if a pocket of infection grows.
If you do happen to find a modern gun that is disposable, you must take into consideration the process it went through to get to you. The packaging is unlikely to be sanitary. The hands that it passed through on the assembly line were probably not cleansed let alone be 100% sanitized.
Also, the gun cannot give you a correct puncture area. Because you cannot see exactly where the "needle" will hit because of the material in the way. It is also a lot easier to slip while trying to pierce with the gun. Think about the popular piercings people have today and then about how they'd look if they were off-center and crooked.
An autoclaved, sterile needle is much better than the gun. It also doesn't hurt any more or less than the gun and doesn't leave you with that throbbing, uncomfortable feeling for day. There is less swelling and less scar tissue so the wound heals faster.
I do hope you give up your search for a piercing gun. I hope you do not plan on piercing yourself and seek a professional to assist you.
