Ban the use of piercing guns, risk of infection and disease transmission.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I and my other professional body pierces would like to ban the use of using a piercing gun on the public. Due to the Health risks and tissue damages.
There is a big majority of the population who thinks a piercing gun is safe to use, when in fact you can have a life threatening illness caused by these horrific devices. These are the same thing they use to tag cattle. Not only do they cause many infection due to being used multiple times on different people they also cause damage to the skin causing blunt forced trauma. These devices cannot be sterilised and are used on a lot of children who don’t choose to be put in danger.
