Can you pierce you ears and nose at home?

Question

If you can pierce them at home by yourself i'd like to know how and what you need..

Answer 1

Sure you can, but don't - really.

Answer 2

Sure. You can also pierce your tongue, your nipples, your navel and anything else that's hanging around unpierced. My question is, why would you want to do this? And why would you want to make it a do-it-yourself project?
It looks pretty simple to bash a hole in someone's ear, but it also looks pretty funny when one earlobe is pierced higher than the other.
It isn't very funny when any of those piercings get infected, however, and that's a very real threat when you do stuff like this at home.
It is very difficult to do by yourself, because it hurts. It really does. And the human reflexes are such that when something hurts, you stop doing it. If someone else is doing it, they can finish the job, but you are going to jump and flinch and mess it up big time. Especially with the nose. That is a very, very, sensitive area.
So if you are determined that you want this done, go to someone who is licensed and knows what they are doing. Otherwise you get to live with your mistakes for the rest of your life.

Answer 3

I pierced my ears myself...kinda crazy, but I just pushed the earrings through! I had the earrings that they had pierced my ears with before (they have a sharp point) so I cleaned my ears off with alcohol, then made a little dot on my ear where I wanted them pierced, and the pushed the earring through! It didn't hurt that bad, just made a loud popping sound. As for your nose, I'd get that done professionally...I had mine pierced (at a tattoo shop) and it still got infected. Your nose is really sensitive, and prone to infection, even by just touching the piercing.

Hope this helped and good luck!

Answer 4

I would recommend a place that does it but its quite simple.

Get the following

Ice cubes
wash rag
Alcohol
a good sized sweing needle
a clean sterile hypoalergenic stud
and a Carrot or potato

1st, sterilize the needle by heating it until it glows red 1/2 in up. Then let it cool and dip it in alcohol and swirl it arround, Wash the are to be pierced with alcohol on both sides. ICe it down for 5-10 minutes oin both sides if possible, whenyour ready, have someone with clean hands, pierce the needle through using the carrot as a stop. ie to prevent it from sticking you i the neck. then immediately put the stud in with neosporen on it. Clamp, rotate daily and leave it alone for a month other than turning it. For the nose , stick the carrot up thy nose to prevent damage and follow the other directions

good luck

Answer 5

I do and have alot of piercings. It is possible but more than likely it will not be straight. If you still decide to do it you will need a couple of hallow gauge needles, some antiseptic soap, a cork or rubber stopper, latex gloves, and the rings you want to go in. I do not suggest piercing over an 8 gauge especially if you are doing it yourself.

Answer 6

if you want to, look online to see what store near you that you can buy a piercing gun
i would suggest having a friend do it for you, but if you insist on doing it yourself, use a mirror and place a dot with a marker on where you want the hole to go

you'll probably want nickel studs to start out with, but wait a month or two to change the earring (especially with the nose piercing)

but really, it might just cost just as much time and effort as going to a shop and just getting it PROFESSIONALLY pierced

*remember, piercing body parts by yourself can lead to infection and injury

Answer 7

Of course you can....no whether or not that is an entirely brilliant idea...well Just go to a professional dear...it's safer that way. And make sure they use a hollow needle not a gun...a gun slams a dull point through your skin, takes longer to heal and can cause infection easier because of the plastic parts surrounding the metal portion of the gun that CAN NOT be sterilized.

Answer 8

Your ears yes, you can do it with earings that have a back to the
just numb the ear with ice and poke you ear with the earring
or une a red thread with needle, poked thru it and tie a loose
knot with the red thread in your ear and wear it for 3 weeks
moving the thread back and forth thru the ear and putting Neosporin ointment on it, or go to a place where they pierce ears, I definately recommend that you go to a special place to get you nose pierced.

Answer 9

OUCH. That'd hurt and you'd probably get an infection. If you're like me your parents would also send you to a mental institution. But I think it's possible.... ever seen the parent trap. Didn't they do it there? Well, thats a movie, but still....

Answer 10

Okay I wouldnt do the nose at home.... You could make yourself in more pain than its worth.

I did my ears here at home... with a jumbo safty pen. Hurts but it was crazy! Be careful!

Answer 11

Yes but I would definitely advise against it because it can easily get infected if done the wrong way. Go to a professional!!!
