How to Pierce Your Own Ears
Piercing your own ears can be done easily and relatively painlessly. A few items like a safety pin, ice and a set of
earrings
are essentially all you need for this task. So gather up your things, go into the bathroom and follow these steps for piercing your own ears.
Things You'll Need:
Large safety pin
Rubbing alcohol
Candle
Ice
Earrings
Ibuprofen
Step
1
Gather supplies including a large safety pin, ice and appropriate earrings to put in after the safety pin comes out.
Step
2
Ice ears until they feel numb; this will take about one minute.
Step
3
Take ibuprofen to help with pain later on after you have pierced your ears.
Step
4
Sterilize the needle by burning it in the flame of a candle and wipe it with an alcohol soaked paper towel to clean it off.
Step
5
Pierce ears with the sterilized safety pin. Leave the safety pin in your ear for about 10 minutes before removing and replacing with earrings.
Step
6
Put
earring
in the newly pierced hole.
Step
7
Use alcohol to clean your pierced ears every night. This will help prevent infection.
Step
8
Leave earrings in your pierced ears and do not change them for about 4 to 6 weeks.
Tips & Warnings
It's best to use a set of earrings that are called piercing earrings. They are slightly thicker in diameter and your ears will heal at a size that will allow you to put a new pair of earrings in easily.
Do not use this technique to pierce your tongue, nipples or navel. This type of piercing requires a professional.
Do not pierce a young child's or baby's ears.
