Why do piercers use a hollow needle?

Hollow piercing needles are extremely sharp. And no, they do not remove a piece of tissue. The needles create c-shaped slits so there's room for the jewelry to fit [opposed to sewing needles]. Think about when you go to the doctor to get a shot. The doctor uses hollow needles, too, but they don't remove any skin or anything.

The hollow needle cuts out a piece of flesh while it's going though. Also it allows the insertion of the piercing.

Hello to the folks clicking the thumbs down. If you have a hollow needle and you insert it thourgh a piece of soft tissue you are going to remove a small plug of flesh captured within the tube of the needle. That by itself would cause the hole to be somewhat larger than just stuffing a solid needle into the flesh and simply spreading the flesh apart. Also since the needle is hollow it can provide sleeve for a piece of jewelry to be put into in and then pulled back though allowing the piece of jewely safe passage into the pierced hole without any more trauma.

In answer to the lady commenting on a doctors office, you might have size 22 or 24 needle used on you in the doctors office (very tiny) while having a 10 gauge hole punched by the piercer. Big big difference in needle size an in the inside diameter of the hole. If you take a hollow tube and push it into jello, doesn't the jelly go up into the tube as the tube is inserted?

Sounds like a hollow needle would remove a plug of tissue, giving a really open area.

a hollow needle go in smother and faster

I believe it cuts out some flesh to create a hole instead of pushing it to one side like a normal pin would. Also makes it easier to thread the jewelery through

It cuts out a piece of skin.

It helps the skin and jewelry have some room so the skin doesn't grow over the jewelry.

Since it's not as quick as a gun, it causes less trauma to the skin.

It makes it go through easier.

I believe it's to pierce faster?? It's sharper I think..
