The overall durability %26 quality of the piercing gun received so far seems to be as expected, and for the price of $12.99, it's not a horrible value to receive a peircing gun %26 several (perhaps 80 or 90 pairs,i believe) of piercing studs, which do appear to be stainless steel as indicated, which is essential for those of us who are allergic to certain metals.
My issue is with what is indicated as being included in the purchase. This item clearly states that it includes an ear piercing gun, a nose piercing gun, and a body piercing gun - in fact, there is even a review about this being the case. In addition, the description and pictures indicate there is a case to contain everything in; it is pictured with a small mirror on the inside. I only received one piercing gun - with no packaging or markings to indicate whether it is one which is intended for use on ears, noses or body piercing? In fact, as I believe was also mentioned in a review of this product, there are no instructions, owners manual, or literature of any sort at all included.
My daughter, my daughter-in-law, and I all were pierced last night using the piercing gun; 6 ear piercings and 1 nose piercing were given in total. The gun performed as expected and all piercings were carried out successfully. I myself got the most piercing, and as someone with several ear piercings, I feel as though the gun and the piercing studs are a bit too large for the nose (the gun was almost uncomfortably positioned in order to be correctly aligned during piercing and the stud is a bit long - almost too long in fact), but I was able to just get by with these. Someone with a smaller nose - and mine is probably on the average to smaller side - may not be able to use one or both of these.
So, being that the description and even the reviews were largely misleading, which was quite disappointing, I am giving an average to less than average rating with this review. Time will tell how the gun holds up; hopefully it will at least be well constructed and hold up well. I am also hopeful that the studs are what they are described to be; so far, so good, but it hasn't yet even been a full 24 hours. If there are any extreme occurrences, or if the seller decides to make me whole by providing the remainder of the items described as being part of this purchase, I will update this review!
