unless you want to infect the holes that you make..i suggest you dont do it..and go to someone who knows how..you can also ruin ur ear..cause like the hole is capable of not being even and you'll have one hole higher thna the other

You sit there with ice on your ear for like an hour (literally). Then you burn the tip of a needle, "sanitize it" with some alcohol and then pull a thread through it. Then once your ear is nice and numb you poke a hole with the needle and pull the thread through. Leave the thread in for like a week. You pull the thread a little back and fourth everyday so it doesn't get stuck. Clean it daily with peroxide and approximately a week or two you can take out the thread and put an earring. Make sure you leave the earring on for a while though because if not it'll close right away, because it will be a small hole.

i had some piercing studs (the kind that is sharp at the ends) and i just cleaned my ear with some piercing solution, used ice to numb my ear, and poked the piercing stud in my ear.
obviously since i didnt use a gun, i had to poke it myself, which isnt as fast and hurts a little more. But i have a higher tolerance for pain, and it was kinda a spur of the moment thing..
i would recommend u buy a guy with studs in it at a beauty store, like peninsula beauty supply or something. That way its fast and you dont have to poke ur hole urself, u just have to use the gun.
the gun is more like a stable, so its more like ur stapling earings on ur ear. lol. its easy! dont worry, just buy some piercing solution or use rubbing alcohol or sumthing.
AND DONT USE A NEEDLE~ sometimes the needles are too thin, and u may have to make another whole. Buy piercing earings or a piercing gun.
and getting it pierced at a store isnt as cheap/easy as ppl may say. the earings are like 30 bucks atleast and u need parents permission if u are under 18

Well, you numb the ear with ice and then stick a needle* through but it's very painful and much better to go to walmart and have it done for free-with the purchase of 7$ earrings
*put it in alchohol then boil water and drop the needle in to sterilize it o and make sure you wash your ears everyday too
Oh and it might get infected or b crooked. It's better to pay the $7
P.S. put thread in the needle, then leave the thread in your ear. get a 14kt gold or sterling silver post earring and get it ready. o u might want to sterilize those too. kk then wiggle the thread around ur ear to make the hole big enough, then while the thread is stil there, stick the earring in. pull thread out. repeat with the other ear also make sure u don't poke yourself with the needle when it's coming out the back. use a piece of cork board or a thick rubber eraser

cleean a sharp needle with rubbing alchohol, or boiling water, then use and ice cube to "freeze" your ear lobe, until numb, or at least mostly numb... then take an apple slice (a thick one, so you don't poke your self)... and place it against the back side of your ear lobe (the side closest to your head.) puncture needle throgh your ear, the needle should go all the way through, and out the other side (thats why you have the apple slice)!
But just remember, no matter how carefull you are, it is still dangerous,,, i would advise going to a professional, but it's your choice... good luck!

I suggjest that you dont try to do it at home, you could get a bad ear infection and might go deaf. I got mine peirced at a beauty salon, and I didnt take good care of them and they got infected. If you get them peirced somewhere besides home they will give you every thing you need, like soulution, cleaning pads, special earrings, and even a manual!

NEVER do it..i re-pierced one of my ears..it hurt like HELL. go to a salon..were i live it's like $16 for earings and the piercing and then you go buy peroxide and put it on the piercing once or twice a day to prevent infection. keep the studs in for 6weeks.

dont use ice it makes it hurt WAY more and dont use just any needle you have to get a peircing needle that way it will actually remove the skin and not just poke a hole in it. if you just use a needle like those other idiots are telling you to when you try to put the earing in it wont go through. but its also a much much MUCh better idea to just pay someone to do it.

I totally DO NOT recommend that since you can easily pierce them crooked and it's much easier to get an infection when you pierce them at home.

If you don't mind the possible infection, use an ice pick. Other wise, go to a pro or forget about the piercing.
