How much trouble would I get into? And more help please!?

Question

Okay, my mom is pretty laid back about piercings.

She pierced her nose and said she won't buy me a needle until she sees how hers works out. She's been so clueless on how I've been asking her questions about sterilizing stuff and what to put the alcohol in.

So, I have that knowledge, what am I going to do with it? Pierce my cartilage of course!

Yes, I'm going to take a safety pin, and sterilize it, and pierce my cartilage. My only question is, how much trouble would I get into if I suddenly came out of the bathroom with a loop in my ear?

Also, will using a, oh maybe 8 year-old worn out stainless steel earring help infection? And, should I really use a safety pin for my carty?

I'll be using H2Ocean to help with cleaning.

THANKS!

Answer 1

Ok i know it sounds like a good idea but it really isn't if you are going to do it either get the right equipment. There is a good chance that by doing it yourself you will shatter the cartilage. I would get it professionally done. If you do go through with it do not use an old needle and no a safety pin the curves will make it harder. Do NOT use ice because it will make it harder to puncture. For more directions use http://www.wikihow.com/Pierce-Your-Own-C...

Don't use the old earring it will cause infection and thats miserable take it from some one who knows i have 6 peircings. Just know what you are getting into. I got my 3rd hole done and they caught the cartilage and to this day 5 years later it still bugs me.

and in regards to the amount of trouble it all depends on your mom  

Answer 2

She was merely making a suggestion about your equipment cause why...YOU ASKED!!!  A safety pin is not proper equipment. You do realize piercing that cart hurts and is very painful right?  Silly silly girl.

Answer 3

If you pierce your ears on a crooked angle, your earrings will not hang properly. You'd need to re-do them (if it was physically possible) or your earrings will look wrong for the rest of your life.  Please think a bit! You sound immature. Water won't prevent an infection & infections are painful & ugly.

Answer 4

Ew.

Answer 5

I don't suguest doing so, you should have the right equipment, or get someone who has the right stuff do it for you.
