If I did it, I would make sure everything is completely clean.
Like, I would rub everything down with rubbing alcohol,
and put the needle under fire so it kills the germs.
I would also clean the peircing and my lip very well
before, after, and everyday for a couple weeks after.
How great is the chance of infection?
If you have done it before,
answer this and tell me how it went.

If that's how you plan on cleaning your tools, pretty good chance of a nasty infection. Just get it done by a pro, we have autoclaves to sterilize things (and it actually works, unlike the method you described)

You're better off paying the 50 bucks to get it professionally done than risking an infection so bad you lose your lip. The tools they use are sterile. They use an autoclave which basically heats the needles etc to such a high degree that it kills bacteria etc without charing it with fire. If you go put the needle in a flame right now, you'll see all this black stuff appears on it, then you'll have to clean it off with whatever, still potentially exposing it to more bacteria. You're just best off doing it professionally.
Not to mention the risk of hitting nerves. You could end up paralyzing part of your face.
And if for nothing else, it's really freakin hard to pierce yourself. Back in my stupid days, I pierced something on my own and I had so much trouble getting the damn needle through. So you're sitting there for 10 minutes trying to push the needle. Our natural reaction to pain is to stop whatever it is that caused the pain, so you're fighting against your nervous system to get that needle through. Very painful.

What the **** is wrong wit u. You'll look like a stupid ************. Don't do it. And if u want to get ur lip pierced, make sure u get a professional person to do it.

Don't do it, the chance of infection is very good, the other risks involved is that you can hit nerve which can cause loss of sensation in your lip, and other very serious problems.
Get a professional to do it this way you get it in the proper place and with little risk of any serious problems.

Oh! My friend did her own piercing in class last yr. She pierced it through her ulcer, as she was too timid to twist the needle through her lips for too long. It turned out OK, but still its a big risk piercing it yourself. You might accidentally hit a nerve. Even if you do try and pierce it yourself, remember to really really sterilise the needle properly. =D

your chances of getting an infection are quite high, actually!!! i`m not against piercings (i have 14 myself), but i would never consider doing one myself, or letting anyone else who isn`t an experienced professional do one on me...i`d much rather pay the money & have it done properly!!! better to go to a reputable piercer, who uses the properly sanitized equipment in a clean environment, than to risk a bad piercing & chance of injury or infection!!!
