any answers apreciated thanks

Answer 1

My sister pierced her own belly button, and she sterilized the needle with TCP, but she heated it BEFORE putting it in TCP.

I think it's ok, because she hasn't had any infections YET...

lol

Answer 2

No, it won't. The only way to 100% properly sterilize piercing equipment is with an autoclave. TCP is not for sterilizing, it's for general antiseptic stuff.

Good luck with the infection.

Answer 3

Ouchhh. My friend did hers, it came out amazing.

Though you could ask for a friends help.

Anyways. You could try to burn the needle with a lighter to sterilize it. Not sure about tcp.

Answer 4

yeah tcp is an antiseptic so will kill all germs

my friend pierced her own belly and ended up in a&e so be careful
