Very true, and this doesn't pertain solely to the Industrial piercing. See, a piercing gun will simply force itself through your tissue, whereas a piercist at a tattoo parlor will use a hollow needle. A hollow needle will create a clean hole, leading to less scarring or chance of infection. It's not quite as vital that you use a hollow needle on the bottom of your lobe, but I've spoken to people who have had their ears pierced both ways and those who used a needle found it a great deal less painful to gauge their ears.
