Help with piercing my own ears?

Question

is there anyway i can pierce my ear (cartilage) without getting an infecting?? Is there a right or wrong way of doing it?? What do i use to pierce it (i dont have any more of the earings they use to pierce your ears professionally) can you help??

Answer 1

ive done it like a trillion times. you just have to make sure the earring is gold or something used for piercings. keep it clean. i cleaned mine with alcohol and sometimes peroxide. if you get like a balls looking thing i dont know if i should tell you to go to the doctor or not. i usually pop it by squeezing it. Good Luck,

Answer 2

that is the worst idea.

piercing your lobes yourself are acceptable but your cartilage, no.

cartilage piercings take forever to heal anyways so if you s***w it up you can get a serious infection.

Do yourself a favor and get it done professionally.

Also, get it done at a tattoo place and not at the mall.

The mall only has a gun and guns are bad. The tattoo place will use a needle which is better.

Answer 3

you should get it professionally just to be safe otherwise if u do and u mess it up u might need that part of the ear taken off so safety first
