Advice from an ex nurse...Please DO NOT attempt this yourself. Infection is not the only problem you could get. Blood clots and excessive bleeding are serious dangers too. If you cannot afford to have it done by a professional, don't have it done!

from experience of whatching someone do this, i really wouldn't. I have a friend who tried to pierce thier belly button themselves and had everything she needed and she was one of the biggest "germ freaks" i've ever met and her belly button got super infected and she had to eventually go to the hospital and was put on antibiotics and stuff. If i were you i'd spare yourself the pain and pay the money - at least you'd know it would be done right :) hope this helps!

If it's anything other that your ears (in the fleshy part, nowhere else) you should probably just have a professional do it. There are SO many nerves and veins and other anatomy in random places throughout your body, you could be placing yourself in danger. (ie, if your tongue is pierced wrong and not in the perfect spot, it can cause a blood clot to shoot to your brain and kill you immediately - And that's never fun!)

Make sure everything is clean and make sure the piercing stays clean.

You could dip the needle in alchohal or burn it.
