Ear Piercing

[tearfulbeauty]

well i didn't know where this would go so i figure general would work...

does anyone know how to pierce your own ears? then a good way and what to use...? any info would be great thanks....

[OverDrive]

I wouldnt suggest this for many hygenic reasons. Please PLEASE go spend the small amount of money to get your ears or whatever pierced from a professonal at a store. You can get SO MANY bugs, viruses, etc from doing it yourself.

My friend pierces people's ears all the time. Nothing bad happened =|



You get a needle and sterilise it by putting it on a flame. You don't even hafta numb your ears but put some ice on them for a while if you're worried. Then put a dot where you want your piercing to go and put the needle through the dot. It might take a while for it to actually go all the way through. When my friend did it, she thought she couldn't get the needle through and was freaking out till she just shoved it in. It was fine. And have something at the back of it, like an apple (not a whole one, obviously, just a bit of one. But we talked about it and thought maybe a potato would be better lol. I dunno). Buy some cleaning fluid at a drug store and put that on it 3 times a day for a few weeks.



BUT I DO NOT CONDONE PIERCING YOUR EARS YOURSELF.

My friend read this and called me a fucking idiot for telling you how to do it.

It could easily get infected and that's not fun.

My friend pierced my other friends ear, and she nearly passed out lol I'd go get it done by a professional.

i done mine once but i suggest dont do it i just stuck the earing ring through my ears just like i did with my lip 4 tounge piercing and bellly button all of my holes i did myself got deadly infected my left ear almost rotted off! so think of all the risks u are taking about doing this id rather go to a pro and get it done quick instead of suffer at home doing it goodluck :-)

[emotionalcutie]

I pierced my ear before it didn't get really infected because I kept it clean but it did really hurt when I did it...alot more then when I got it professionally done. I ended up taking it out after a few months because it wasn't tottally straight, I would recomend just going to get it done where they know what they are doing. But if you decide to do it yourself make sure what you use to pierce it is clean and you clean it regulary.

[SirPostAlot]

I think that you should definitly go to some place to get it done! Doing it yourself would be soo wrong and unhealthy!

You could take the chance, but for your safty, pay the lil cash and get it done!



~My advice~

[CoolChick123]

ive done it...i grabbed a needle, burned it, numbed the ears w/ ice and stuck it thru...me and my friends did it...some healed, some got infected...eh, its just ears, so if it DOES get infected its not a huge deal

[PunxPride]

Go to a professional and keep it CLEAN. The one time that I tried to do it myself it ended up hurting a lot worse than when I usually got it done by a professional. Just go to Walmart, I got two ears done for $6.

Take a lesson from the Full House episode where Kimmy pierced Stephanie's ears.

[Lisa]

you know it cost more for the lil stub thing they put in your ear then for them to do. it's $20 for the stub $2 for them to do it

[B_Lo]

sterilize a needle with the appropriate substance, usually a liquid...then use a ice cube to numb the area and penetrate the area with the needle....poke a beginner earring on and presto

[Paris In Flames]

LOL! My friends and I recently had a piercing part-ay (in the words of Christopher Lowell) and we peirced like, everything. Yeah, they'll probably get infected, but just use some disinfectant and that'll lower the risks.

P.S. Don't use a needle. We did that and discovered that the needle was skinnier than the earring, so we had to punch the earring through which hurt even more...make sure its the same size!

you can order piercing kits online...i'm guessing that you're asking how to do it yourself because you're underage and your parents wouldnt let you...but yea if you are really set on it...find a good friend that you trust and let them do it for you...steralization is EVERYTHING!
