Can you use a sewing needle as a piercing needle?

Answer 1

I did. i had someone who used to work at claires pierce my cartilage like 2hrs ago. Apperently you have to have a photo to get your cartilage pierced. Well we couldnt find the correct needle so we got a 14/18 size sewing needle and bought 1 of the piercing earrings at claires (they let you buy them seperate!!!) and she put a potatoe behind and stuck the needle im not going to lie it hurt really bad! and i got nasous once tht passed she took it out and put the earring in (it didnt hurt at all) then i threw up and felt like nothing was wrong and she put the back on and my ear isnt red and it doesnt hurt anymore! <3
