Not a good idea. You could get an infection. ... amongst many other things that could go wrong...

Just use a pin, preferrably a long pin earring. Soak it in alcohol, then poke it through.
It's just that simple. The quicker it is done, the less pain you will feel. You will want to keep the earring in for a while so the wound can heal and keep the hole.
A professional piece of equipment uses a spring loaded pin earring. Professional equipment just does it really fast to lessen the pain.
There are home ear piercing kits out there that don't cost very much.

This is not something you should do at home. You risk causing permanent damage and infection. Go to a professional, preferring someone that will remove the piece of cartilage and not just break it. If you are too young to visit a professional piercer, than you are too young. Wait till you are a little older. Take care.

You shouldn't!
There are various reasons not to, the most important is that your ears are so precious which can hardly be replaced. You should not experiment on them.
Besides, there are so many professionals who will do it for you at a very minimal and small fee. Why playing with the future of your ears, by yourself? Please, don't!
With professionals, if anything goes wrong you will not only get treatment, but also, the chance of being compansated if its not possible to ractify the misshap.
All the best!

I really would not do that at home if I were you. You are risking getting a really nasty infection, and ear cartilage can collapse leaving you with a floppy bit on your ear. It's not expensive to get it done properly, so save your pennies and have it done by someone who knows what they are doing.

I would not recommend this as it can shatter your cartilage and your ear will look out of shape as a rsult, ive ad it done and they did use a needle but knew exactly what they were doing.

You shouldnt do it yourself, the cartilage takes the most time to heal and it hurts a lot during its healing process. Its better just to get someone proffessional to do it b/c you could easily shatter your cartilage or get an infection easily. good luck

the safest way is have it done by a professional,although i did my ear,froze it with ice and pushed a safety pin through it,make sure you have a good antiseptic to apply afterwards,keep it clean.
