ear pierced at home?

Question

whats the best way i can do it @ home? w/o a gun...w/o my parents knowing till we all do it(sleepover)?

Answer 1

sterilize needle, back earlobe with cardboard, puncture earlobe with needle.

sterilize earring stud with alcohol, using same cardboard backing, push stud through hole in earlobe.

re-strilize area of earring frequently with alcohol, to prevent infection untill it heals

Answer 2

Get a sewing needle ( a longish one) and a potato, and some thread.

You need to thread the needle.

Cut the potato in half, and put the freshly cut part against the back of your earlobe.

Now stab the needle through your ear lobe and into the potato.

Do it quickly, and precisly - jab it. Make sure you jab it in the right spot - this is your hole forever. It is eaiser if a friend does it for you. Pick a friend you trust not to mess up your ear.

Pull the potato away from your ear, making sure that you don't pull the thread all the way through.

You need to tie off the thread, keeping it looped through your ear. Tie it in a ring passing through your ear. You will need to move the thread ring a few times a day, untill your holes heal up.

A few notes:

If you numb your earlobe with ice first, it will hurt less - but it will still hurt.

This is NOT a sanitary procedure, and you risk infection. Lots of girls (especially years ago) have used this method sucessfully - but infections do happen - and they are NOT plesent. Do this at your own risk.

A healthy dose of rubbing alcahol on the needle, thread, and ear to prevent infection is recomended - but this is hardly a guarentee. The alcahol would need to be re-applied every time you move the thread.

The only way you can get away with it is if you can manage to do all of this without screaming. The first one who screams wakes up mommy and daddy.

This is a bad idea.

Answer 3

Sterilize a sewing needle by holding it in a flame, and pierce your ear by pushing it through. Best use an ice cube to numb it first, though. Also, make sure you get brand new earrings made for sensitive ears, and only studs, to wear during the healing proccess. Make sure you clean out your newly pierced ears very well everyday because they will get infected easily, especially when you do it yourself. Believe me, infected ear piercing are NOT fun.

Answer 4

I would not suggest it. Worst case scenario: a few minutes of being able to wear improperly fitting and uncomfortable earrings is not worth a week's worth of possibly being grounded, nor months worth of infection, nor a lifetime's worth of disfigurement from having a needle slip, angled improperly (do you really want one earring pointing up and the other pointing down and left?), or as the result from infection. If you want a piercing, do it properly. Although I wouldn't normally suggest a "mall piercer", I would whole-heartedly suggest it over doing it yourself. A body piercing shop is ideal, where piercers pierce for the love of the art, as opposed to mall workers who do it just to get paid.

Answer 5

Do you want to lose your earlobes? Because that's what's going to happen if a professional doesn't do it. You could mess it up so badly that you'll never be able to have your ears peirced. Wait until your parents let you do it.
