ii WANT A SAFE AND EASY WAY PLEASE .=D

Answer 1

Listen to Mom and respect her advice and maybe she'll surprise you by letting you get a second hole the correct and safe way. I tried doing it once after being told NO and I ended up getting a big hard knot on the front of my hear and I had to go the the Dr. to have it cut off, I had several radiation treatments to make sure it wasn't cancerous.

Answer 2

You must listen to your mom. She has her reasons. I did my 2nd hole myself at 15. Hurts much worse than going to claire's! Talk about this to your mom & give her reasons why you want this so bad. I am a mom, I didn't want my 4 yr old daughter to get her ears pierced til she was 13. She's been asking her daddy & me for almost a yr. Well, I finally broke down and got them pierced this week. She did so great! NO crying! I was so afraid she'd cry, then I'd cry, she'd bleed, then I'd feel so guilty! Maybe if you just kept bringing up the subject in a positive way. And especially around a holiday... example: Within your mothers "ear shot"...."I sure wish I could get my ears pierced for Easter!"

Answer 3

i'm not sure how safe it is to pierce your own ears, my friends does it all the time but he buys all this infection stuff, so you need to get that and if you get that your mom will know your going to pierce them by yourself. Also talk to your mom, maybe she has a reason why you can't get your ears pierced. When did you get your first hole, if it was only like a year ago or less then wait for your mom to ease up and show you can be responsible about them to, if they get infected i doubt she'll let you get it pierced again for quiet a while.

It is not recommended to do this without consulting a trained professional. Damaging the cartilage can cause splitting and breaking and dangerous infections. Consider yourself warned.

Steps
*Sterilize your ear and equipment. Using an autoclave is the only way to have absolutely sterile materials. You must know how to set up a sterile field to work in, and be able to prevent cross contamination between sterile and non-sterile items.

*Ice the area of the ear you are going to pierce for 5 minutes, or until it is fairly numb.

*Take the needle and pop it through the first layer of skin. Sometimes it is easier to leave the ice in place, sometimes it isn't. Do whichever is easiest.

*Tilt the needle at the angle you want the stud to be at and pop it the rest of the way through. If you are not using the ice as a shield for your head, use a towel or something else that will be able to stop the needle from going in your head, but won't be a nuisance.

*Leave the needle in for a moment; it should barely break the back surface of your ear. Farther is fine but not necessary.

*Place the jewelry into the hollow back of the needle, and follow it through the hole.

*Enjoy. It takes 6 months to completely heal. Wash with anti-bacterial soap and use sea salt soaks twice a day.



Tips
*Needles designed specifically for body piercing are significantly sharper than household needles. This means the piercing itself will hurt less. They also come packaged individually in sterile packaging,reducing the risk of infection.

*If the piercing shows signs of infection(redness,heat,crusting) visit your doctor or a piercing professional for advise.

*Choose high quality stainless steel or titanium jewelery to reduce the risk of allergies. Silver and gold fine for piercing as long as they are of a very pure content; nothing less than 90% is advisable.

*Your parents are soooooo not going to like this if you are under fourteen. Trust me. So, if not already done, grow your hair out long enough to cover your ears.



Warnings
*Do not self-pierce your tongue.

*Do not do if you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

*Be careful and diligent with aftercare, infections are dangerous.

*Blood can carry infectious diseases such as Hepatitis C and HIV. Wear disposable gloves and after using the needle throw it into a sharps bin to prevent accidents.
*
Putting peroxide on a wound can damage the skin. Salt water solutions/tea tree oil are preferable, as they can help to speed up the healing process.

*Performing your own piercings is very risky. Infection, rejection, and poor placement may result. For the safest and best looking piercing, see a professional body piercer.



Things You'll Need
*ice cubes
*hollow piercing needle or needle or safety pin
*body jewelry
*soap, water, sea salt

Answer 5

I have to agree with everyone else. Listen to your mom, and respect her authority. Don't pester her about it (Trust me, it will get you no where. I am still waiting for my mom to say yes to let me get a dog). Just ask her in a very respectful tone once in a while. And when she is ready she will say yes. But if you do it anyway, you will probably end up in a lot of trouble once she finds out. And in the process, lose her trust.
