I share your experience with getting mine done young and it hurting like hell. (This was 1989)
However, 2 years ago I had my ears re-done at Claire's and the gun was very different than the one of my youth. It hardly hurt at all, and the earring posts I chose were gold rather than anything else (because I'm actually allergic to most everything else, which is why I rarely wear jewelry of any type).
She is growing in responsibility by leaps and bounds. But I still help her with her hygiene. I brush her teeth at night, she brushes them in the morning. One for her to do for her independence, one for dental health. While the piercings are healing (few months?) I plan to do the cleaning. Once they are healed, I think she can take care of them easily enough. Her big responsibility while they are healing will be to keep her hands ( germs) off them.
Surfing by via friendsfriends to vote for the needle people. I have multiple ear piercings, most of which were done with guns at the mall (the first, regular two when I was about seven, the rest when I was a teenager and paid for them myself). None of those was entirely satisfactory -- the basic two lobe piercings are too high, and the others are angled weirdly (guns lack precision), and one kind of nicked the cartilage. The cartilage (helix) piercing I got on purpose at a needle place was done far, far more professionally, and was actually less painful than with a gun, and had jewelry that was more suitable to healing without trouble
