How do i pierce my own ears?

Question

ok so i got my ears pierced a couple years ago and i never put any earrings in. but then i tried to put some in today and only one of my ears is pierced! what is the best way to re-pierce the other one?

Answer 1

al i did when i pierced my ear is sterilised a needle and then just stab it through the right place and put the stud in and bobs your uncle.but you have to keep it clean for the next couple of days. hope i help you out.

Answer 2

i suggest to go to a professional and not the ones that use guns .  if you are willing to do this on your own read on.

1. Find the stud that's right for you. Purchase any stud (standard size) you would like to have in your ear. When you do the actual piercing, the stud must stay in for 4-6 weeks or the hole will seal up.

2. Numb the lobe before you actually pierce the ear. Not only will this prevent you from a lot of pain, but it'll make the process a lot easier. It is surprisingly difficult to pierce one's own ear with the sensation of pain every time the needle is pushed. (ice helps)

3. STERILIZE THE NEEDLE. This cannot be stressed enough. No matter how clean you think it is, you still need to sterilize the needle. Placing it in a cup of boiling water for sixty seconds is sufficient, though as much as five minutes doesn't hurt.

4. Heat up the needle. Using a standard lighter to heat the end of the needle is optional, but should you want it to be over and done with quickly, then it is recommended. The needle should only be heated for roughly ten seconds, as this is a mildly warm heat, and will not be hot enough to register pain.

5. Use a mirror. Before you charge into doing it, make sure you're standing in front of a mirror. Missing the lobe and jabbing into the neck is surprisingly not as rare as you would think.

6. Deep breath, then push. If you still have the ice on your ear at this point, now is a good time to remove it, as you'll be piercing your ear. Simply pick the spot in your lobe (perhaps even draw a dot on it prior to beginning the process), and just poke the needle through FIRMLY. Inhale greatly as you do, as this will focus yourself away from the sharp moment of pain.

7. Twist the needle.. Twist the needle and not taking the whole thing out, move it in and out. Then put desired earring in.

8. Clean up your mess. This is simple, and common sense. Simply wipe the droplet or two of blood that may have run down your ear during the process, and remember to discard the needle immediately.

Answer 4

Go get it pierced. At a professional place not Claire's or some place in the mall that uses a gun or you it will most likely get infected. Good peircing places use a needle thats never been touched before so your ear wont get infected. I wouldnt pierce it myself.

Answer 5

get a pro to do it, not you, but if you wanna do it, get a stud, wash it well, rub anteseptic cream in the bit that goes through you ear, get infront a mirror, have a ice cube at ready, pop it through wash the earing again, and put it in leave it in all day take out once a day and keep the hole clean, for about 6 weeks
