Um - don't ever get ANYTHING other than your ear lobes pierced with a 'gun' - they're not designed for anything other than standard ear piercing - think skin folds/eyebrow/belly button being jammed in a piercing gun - not cool.
Be careful with all body piercing - the placement of the piercing itself as well as the gauge of the piercing (the thickness) needs to be accurate and appropriate for what area is being pierced - one size does NOT fit all - to avoid injury/damage/minimise scarring etc.
Be careful. Personally its the sort of thing I'd be doing here at home in Aus, but its your choice - just make it well informed! (Try http://www.bmezine.com/).
