bruh is this just never gonna end? people keep being influenced to make bad decisions. I hope you all get horrible infections so you realise how dumb it is to pierce yourself. especially if it’s not even with a piercing needle. you’re still creating forced trauma. what you’ve done there is stab yourself, not pierce.
As a person who is deathly afraid of needles for no reason whatsoever, I actually did my left ear. I'm shaking from fear lol but honestly it didn't hurt at all, there's a bit of throbbing a few minutes after. But I honestly felt absolutely nothing-
@paul5star665 Yes just hold it there for 5 minutes and do it. Stop being a pūssy bruh. Get it over with, make sure you buy or make saline tho. Mine got infected a week and a half after because I slept on it and only used soap and water, you need saline for that. Dont sleep on it, and use saline.
Im gonna do this! Edit: I did it. It didn't really hurt at all, it felt like you were pinching your ear! I got my first done at a piercing place and i think that hurt more! It turned out pretty good :) I used mis match earrings tho since i didnt have a matching pair, i used a smaller stud and a bigger stud. I found another smaller one and tried to put that one in but the actual pointy bit on the earring was thick, i think it was for a cartilage piercing. Edit 2: Its been about a month now, no infection and healing nicely! Im gonna do my 3rd's and 4th's by myself, but go to a professional for my cartlidge!!!

@@vibrantebony yeah honestly me either, I’ve pierced my thirds and my fourths now with no complications, they still hurt sometimes but they don’t get infected
I just did this on a closed piercing. It really helps to do it literally right after you take the ice off. I didn't even notice that it went through really. Good luck to everyone and I really hope it goes well 👍
I did this earlier, it doesn’t hurt if you numb it with ice, btw boiling the safety pins is important. Make sure to use an eraser too makes it easier to push it thru. However I’d leave the safety pins in for a few days before removing them.
@@kmilla9998 As long as you boil the safety pins, use rubbing alcohol to clean your earlobes and clean the piercing regularly you prob don’t have anything to worry about :)

@alexiscoolerthanyou I'm not sure tbh. But one thing I can tell u is that if its going to be on your cartilage then just don't do it. Doing it on the earlobe is risky enough but cartilage is even worse. I'm not an expert so I can't tell you, just do it at your own risk
I did this and this is the best experience of my life, I'm definitely going to try to do a second piercing by myself again! Thank's for this video!❤❤❤❤❤❤
i did this about 4 months ago and my ears are totally fine also i'm really sensitive to pain and my ears did not hurt at all when i pierced them. the ice really helped a lot. they only hurt afterwards, so i just kept ice on them to help numb them
I honestly thought this was a bunch of bologna, but after I used the ice to numb my ear there was no pain at all for me especially since I used the piercing stud instead of a safety pin. Still got the same result. This video really did help
I did this when I was 14, with a random safety pin that I found in my mom’s dresser, some hydrogen peroxide, a random earring from my jewelry dresser, a sharpie, and I don’t even remember what I put behind my ear to make sure it didn’t go through my head. Somehow this piercing never got infected and I still have it to this day. I also remember sticking a needle through my ear for fun at 12 and I did five piercings with a safety pin two of which I have today because I let the other three close up. One of the ones I let close up was a cartilage piercing that hurt a lot after I decided to take it out the next day because I couldn’t hide it from my mom. Never got infected. The only one that got infected was the one that was done with a gun and it didn’t get infected until I decided to try to put a tooth pick through it to stretch it. The infection cleared up on its own. It’s crazy how many times I’ve put random needles into my body and never got infected. If you’re wondering if it hurts. No. It’s more just like an intense heat going through your ear. You don’t even need ice. However, I’m not going to recommend it to anyone because of course I was just lucky and there’s a big risk for infection or getting tetanus from using random noodles and putting them into your body.
Yup, i did it, only that stopped me was fear, it hurt like you were lightly pushing a needle to ur skin, all it took was courage, side note, be careful of lightheadedness, i got it when puting the earing in and gl!
So this worked pretty well for me, i got my second piercing at the center but i was too lazy to go there for the third one and this method helped! Although it has a tiny infection but its okay cuz the second ones also did and i have to wait for them. Update: also pierced the upper part of my ear too! I feel more confident with those piercing. TY!
@@avrlx_x for 30mins later the place i just pierced was red and feeling hot. But after that it was okay.

Don't wait 15 to 20 minutes, pierce it then take the needle out slowly and put the earing in there's no point in waiting 15 to 20 minutes your just making it worse by keeping the needle in for that long it will irritate your piercing
@@LiterallyAllNamesAreTaken Well, Not everyone can afford it and people are gonna do it regardless so... 🤷 Also you replying to every comment is useless they're here to do it themselves not listen to you 😂
@@Asia-zl8jb if you can’t afford it, you have much bigger problems. my piercings cost as little as $15 for a singular earlobe, $25 for both earlobes and up to $35 for cartilage/nose. piercings are a WANT, not a need. you can live without them. and quite often than not, a DIY piercing ends up costing you loads more on medical bills (and mental trauma) when you get infections or other complications occur. a lot of people also end up going to a professional anyway to get it fixed or done properly. and telling me my comments are useless is in itself useless when you remember that “influence” exists. 🤡 if kids are influenced by this video, kids can be influenced by my comments. it works both ways. ✌️if people are going to do it regardless then it’s better they know the risks instead of thinking that it’s completely safe just because there’s a wikihow video.
Please for the sake of hygiene do not do this. First and foremost a safety pin is not medical grade, stainless nor hollow. A piercing should be performed with a hollow needle where possible so you are cutting out a chunk of skin and not simply stretching it apart which will 1 hurt more and 2 take longer to heal. If you are stuck in a pinch yes it will work however the easier method is to follow all instructions except use a cannula needle instead. The actual needle can easily be removed giving a hollow plastic tube which you can then use to feed the new jewelry and not metal which most likely will react to the oils on your skin and the minerals in your blood. Rule of thumb: if you wouldn't let a doctor put it directly into your bloodstream... Don't put it through your own body. As for the cork or eraser I'd suggest just get two forks and put one either side of the desired lobe and use them to stabilise the ear over just giving it something to go into that isn't sterile, remember the pin will be going through your blood and if it's been inside something unsterile that's now entering your body now too. Also don't rush a decision like this. Take your time and make sure it's what you really want because a changed mind may well be permenant scars as a reminder later.
Not pain at all with the ice. And it was hard to get it inside but I didn’t feel anything. Don’t be scared for real even if it is hard to get it inside! Thanks! ❤ UPDATE : CLEAN YOUR EAR OFTEN TRUST ME. MY EAR IS BAD CAUSE I DIDNT KNOW IT. but i'm taking some medicine right now. So yeah be safe
Anyone else just take a random needle they found in their house, sit in front of the mirror, and slowly push it in my ear like I did when I was 12? Ironically the piercing that I got professionally done is closed now and my piercing is still useable.
I did it tonight, I used hydrogen peroxide instead, and so far it’s working (I’ll update later) mine hurt but only as if was pinching. Btw the video says it goes in, in one quick action but mine didn’t, it took a couple tries between sticking the needle in and ice-ing it (cause I’m a wimp and you are supposed to insert right after taking the ice off and I waiting a minute, so my fault) but so far so good!! Cute
@@Dew_dropp btw It’s been 13 days since I did it and it’s not infected yet ^^ TIP: get a spray bottle and hydrogen Peroxide and just spray the front and back of the hole. Every morning, every night until ur sure it’s all the way healed, I’d say abt 3 and a 1/2 months ^^
@@TOR1X0X0 AHHH TYSM I just did the first ear and it was kinda hard to get the safety pin through but it worked pretty well! Hope the healing process continues to go well for you🫶
its not your last option. piercings are a WANT not a NEED. if your parents said no to taking you to a professional, its best you accept that. most people who pierce themselves dont end up liking their piercing several years down the line. and for so many reasons. whilst if you watch youtubers who’s main content is piercings and they make videos helping people, or trying on jewellery, you’ll find none of them did piercings themselves.
So basically I did my helix like this but with a sewing needle. Now, I used a needle which was too big. I did not do it in a quick motion because I was struggling. I finally got it through waited a little bit, and took it out which was honestly the most painful part. I switched to an earring and that didn’t hurt at all. I think I should’ve moved quicker when I used an ice cube. This was yesterday. Now today I will be doing a second earlobe piercing on the same ear. I’ll use a smaller needle this time and directly do it after removing the ice cube. I’ll update ya’ll ✊
@@freydis2751 whether by yourself or a professional, don’t get more than 2 piercings. your body will thank you. the more you get, the slower each one is going to take to heal. I’m sure you don’t wanna be going on 4 months with sore ears when lobes can take as little as 8 weeks.
For all of yall after you have pierced your ears: Use povidone iodine solution to clean your ears after the first day. It is much better than using saline solution and quickly heals the piercing site without the swelling stage. Also do not play with the new piercing by twisting it for a week or two to avoid infection.
I was bored at 1am and piercing my second lobes. At first I tryed with a saftey pin but when I took it out it closed up as the needle is small. So I decide to just use my earings. I pierced both ears in less that 10 minutes (as you have to clean after each step) with no ice or any type of numbing and my ears didn't bleed all and had no pain. It's now the day after and there is no sign of infection or swelling :)
@@682domthadon my ear lobes were a bit puffy/ swolen for the first few days (which is normal) but now its starting to go down. I'll give an update in like 2 weeks bc it's a bit early to see results x
@@readyainefire9706 after 2 weeks I noticed that there was swelling coming back up so I took them out and they were swolen and full of puss bc I didn't used sterilised earing and the earings i used had rusted in my ears due to the exposure. Please please please don't pierce your ears with earing for shops like clairs or any regular shop, using a lighter or sanitising it is not enough as this earing is going into an open wound and can end you in serious trouble (worst case is losing your whole ear) I ordered a 6 pack of sterilised earing of amazon for less that 5 pounds and 3 weeks later and they're fully healed no swelling!
I did this last night I had a little trouble getting the ring in but over all I felt no pain but the after math is your going to have a sore ear I’m leaving the pin in for a couple days before putting in a ear ring hope everything goes well for you guys❤
Update I was able to change out the needle an put a earring in the best method to heal it is hands down warm Salt water my ear is basically fully healed at this point I can flick my ear around an feel no pain my first comment was posted 8 days ago btw
Final update my ear is fully l healed i feel no pain when i lay down or anything make sure to use warm salt water to heal it fast i thought i was going to get a ear infection but my ear was just very itchy an sore that’s all apart of the process over all i recommend this video bye guys❤️
I pierced mine with a syringe and trust me I didn't feel anything, and syringes are sharper and easier to pierce your ear with imo. I also put a potato under my ear lobe while we pierced it in, it really helps
I did it and it didn’t pain just rubbed the ice for a long time it will not pain then… sure you can go for it…coming it from a low resistance pain person :))
Man, I am not afraid of pain at all, but I am very, very afraid of infection, even if I sterilize it. I am torn between piercing it and not piercing it due to infection. What is your advice to me? Will it cause infection?@@Upliftalex
Just sent it w a safety pin, couldn’t get an earring to go through without it sliding around so I just used a safety pin that I poured rubbing alcohol on. I’m gonna change it after soaking this earring in alcohol and after I’m gonna pour poroxide on it for a day to kill off any bad bacteria and infection along w the skin n stuff lol
Just did mine, it’s not as bad as you think you just kinda have to brace yourself and just PUSH😂. I just kept the safety pin in because when i tried to put the earring in it wouldn’t go through, so i just pushed the pin back through and left it. i’ll update in a few weeks or month and tell how it heals!!!
I did it! I just really recommend to keep safty pin for 15-20 minutes , I removed it immediately and tried to put the earring in but I couldn't and had to start all over again , but it was worth it.
omg i pierced one ear with the safety pin, waited for ab 5-6 mins and when i tried to take it out to put a stud in it closed up INSTANTLY i have to redo everything now ugh
Studied this video for weeks, followed every step exactly, and somehow the hole closed as soon as the safety pin was removed. I tried twice and it closed both times. I F'ing quit; going to Claire's
@@kidcore7640 it’s forcing an object through your flesh. what are you expecting? especially when doing it wrong bc you’re doing it yourself. I get my piercings done by a professional now and they barely hurt. THIS is going to hurt a lot.
@@LiterallyAllNamesAreTakenliterally what is up your ass man, i get ur trying to help by preventing people from piercing their own bodies but seriously what can u do? this is gonna be a meaningless comment and people are gonna bound to do it anyway. if they think that a video from the internet is gonna help them achieve a successful piercing then let them do it, they’ll face the consequences later and learn to not do it again.
i used a thumbtack and i did a double cartilage, i just used rubbing alcohol on the tack,earing,earring back, and my ear itself. pretty painless i’d say 3/10
I did it and missed like a lot for example I didn't have a cork and I didn't have gloves and I used a kettle to boil the pin. It hurt like hell to get it in because I was slow and scared but I got it in finally. I hope it doesn't get infected
WOW. and you think piercing yourself is gonna go well when you’re out here questioning if you should even be hygienic 🤣🤣 you want advice? use the highest concentration alcohol you can find, if it burns you’re doing it right. also make sure to twist them so the earring doesn’t get stuck 🤡
Nope- and sometimes people have their own way. And earings are like 50 bucks to get them done, to much. I would recommend finding a trusted brand of ear cleaner, for example claires. Order it before hand then clean it every day and night, you can switch the earings out in 4-6 weeks. It should not burn, i wouldnt use rubbing alcohol. Hope this helped 😊
@@idkwhattoputhere832u the only good piece of advice in all of that is to not use alcohol 💀💀💀💀💀💀 first you say not to clean, then you claim claires is a trusted piercing source but then you do say to clean it?? but with claires so ? then you claim you can change 4-6 weeks when actually it’s recommended 6 weeks minimum.
so i did pierce my both ears and now only im seeing this vid after piercing and i did with a embroidery needle and just used sanitizer on the needle. A little bit of blood only came and this is my first day idk i will get infection an am pretty scared rn of getting an infection .
Just did it now with my left side that are closed. Honestly it took around an hour since my safety pins are quite dull so I just use syringe needle (it's still in the package so it's sterile－ but just in case I'd soak the needle in rubbing alcohol). After I wait for 20 minute-ish then I change with my safety pins. And you know what? safety pins as earrings quite dope so i'll wait for my left sides quite healed then change to actual earrings. Is it hurt? For me as someone has low pain tolerance－ it just meh, it's like i used earrings before. Is it messy? First with needle not at all, but when i'm about to change with pins thats when messy happens (with bl00d things yada yada, it ain't hurt at all)) so shout out for the ice numbing and some rubbing alcohol－ it works like a charm. I'll update you guys if somethings happen in the future－ i hope for fast recovery with everyone who also try this at home!!! (Update will be in comment if you want to see!)
Update day 2!! 1. Things have slowly healing right now, my left ear is still doesn't hurt, no redness, no swollen and no pus!! 2. Also reminder that from day 2 and on－ *ALWAYS* clean your new piercings (even better－ all pierces hole from old and new) with *saline solutions or soap-and-water* 'cause hydrogen peroxide/alcohol are too harsh for the wound and it'll prolong your healing!! 3. IF you want to use alcohol－ use it only on your earrings by soaking it for few minutes－ then patting it dry before you can use it again. 4. Also do not move your earrings around if the wound still new! So for the cleaning part you use saline solution 2-3 times a day!! I'll update again in few weeks for now!!
@@raevenbobadilla3503 As it for me, I start cleanse my earring a day after I've pierced it without change (still use my safety pins at that time) for 5 days with saline solution first just to make sure it is safe. After the hole isn't too stings to remove anymore then i change to sterile earring and clean it the day after. All that time i clean my earring i do not remove it so they can heal. If your wound still fresh and hurt while putting it back－ I suggest that you use soft towel with ice around your new wound area so they become numb again for 5-10 minutes, but this time when you putting it again you do it gently (with earrings or safety pins) so the pierce does not irritate the wound. I hope this is help, and sorry you've gone through there, that must be hurt 😭
I tried this method without alcohol & it works fine for me but the problem is that whenever I try to remove safety pin & insert studs etc it didn't go in it☹️why I'm facing it?
Just did it now. I used an earring directly. I just sharpened it. No pain at all. Thank you for this tip.

@@Asia-zl8jb if you can’t afford it, you have much bigger problems. my piercings cost as little as $15 for a singular earlobe, $25 for both earlobes and up to $35 for cartilage/nose. piercings are a WANT, not a need. you can live without them. and quite often than not, a DIY piercing ends up costing you loads more on medical bills (and mental trauma) when you get infections or other complications occur. a lot of people also end up going to a professional anyway to get it fixed or done properly. and telling me my comments are useless is in itself useless when you remember that “influence” exists. 🤡 if kids are influenced by this video, kids can be influenced by my comments. it works both ways. ✌️if people are going to do it regardless then it’s better they know the risks instead of thinking that it’s completely safe just because there’s a wikihow video.

If we don't use alcohol
I'm gonna attemot this soon, But how should onr brace themselves before doing this? And what's the pain scale fir this?
I'm going to do it after my exams, I'll let you know when I've done it, it will save me some money thank you for the tuto
Please for the sake of hygiene do not do this.
First and foremost a safety pin is not medical grade, stainless nor hollow.
A piercing should be performed with a hollow needle where possible so you are cutting out a chunk of skin and not simply stretching it apart which will 1 hurt more and 2 take longer to heal.
If you are stuck in a pinch yes it will work however the easier method is to follow all instructions except use a cannula needle instead. The actual needle can easily be removed giving a hollow plastic tube which you can then use to feed the new jewelry and not metal which most likely will react to the oils on your skin and the minerals in your blood.
Rule of thumb: if you wouldn't let a doctor put it directly into your bloodstream... Don't put it through your own body.
As for the cork or eraser I'd suggest just get two forks and put one either side of the desired lobe and use them to stabilise the ear over just giving it something to go into that isn't sterile, remember the pin will be going through your blood and if it's been inside something unsterile that's now entering your body now too.
Also don't rush a decision like this. Take your time and make sure it's what you really want because a changed mind may well be permenant scars as a reminder later.
Not pain at all with the ice. And it was hard to get it inside but I didn’t feel anything. Don’t be scared for real even if it is hard to get it inside! Thanks! ❤
UPDATE : CLEAN YOUR EAR OFTEN TRUST ME. MY EAR IS BAD CAUSE I DIDNT KNOW IT. but i'm taking some medicine right now. So yeah be safe
I'm struggling how to put my jewelry in to my new pierce ear, I can't find the hole in the back of my ear, what do I do?
Anyone else just take a random needle they found in their house, sit in front of the mirror, and slowly push it in my ear like I did when I was 12? Ironically the piercing that I got professionally done is closed now and my piercing is still useable.
did you sterilize it?
I just did it and it didn’t hurt at all!! Would def recommend just be safe
I did it and it didn't hurt at all thanks for the tip❤️
I did it tonight, I used hydrogen peroxide instead, and so far it’s working (I’ll update later) mine hurt but only as if was pinching. Btw the video says it goes in, in one quick action but mine didn’t, it took a couple tries between sticking the needle in and ice-ing it (cause I’m a wimp and you are supposed to insert right after taking the ice off and I waiting a minute, so my fault) but so far so good!! Cute
About to do it, did you put the needle in boiling water or just use hydrogen peroxide? I’m trying to not wake my parents up😭
@@Dew_dropp both !!
@@Dew_dropp btw It’s been 13 days since I did it and it’s not infected yet ^^
TIP:
get a spray bottle and hydrogen Peroxide and just spray the front and back of the hole. Every morning, every night until ur sure it’s all the way healed, I’d say abt 3 and a 1/2 months ^^
@@TOR1X0X0 AHHH TYSM I just did the first ear and it was kinda hard to get the safety pin through but it worked pretty well! Hope the healing process continues to go well for you🫶
@@Dew_dropp SORRY I RESPONDED AN HOUR LATE- awe thank you!! You too
If I can use a hollow needle, is that better? I have needles readily available for medical reasons
Yes that is better because it pierces better also it’s easier to put the earring in that way
Thanks I did it with no pain ❤️
This is my last option but they make it look so easy
its not your last option. piercings are a WANT not a NEED. if your parents said no to taking you to a professional, its best you accept that. most people who pierce themselves dont end up liking their piercing several years down the line. and for so many reasons. whilst if you watch youtubers who’s main content is piercings and they make videos helping people, or trying on jewellery, you’ll find none of them did piercings themselves.
@@LiterallyAllNamesAreTakenomg bro why are you this bothered abt random strangers
it works well actually.. i was shaking alot at first haha but it really works thanks!
I did it halfway but I forgot to numb it and it still didn’t even hurt that bad it just stung a little bit
So basically I did my helix like this but with a sewing needle. Now, I used a needle which was too big. I did not do it in a quick motion because I was struggling. I finally got it through waited a little bit, and took it out which was honestly the most painful part. I switched to an earring and that didn’t hurt at all. I think I should’ve moved quicker when I used an ice cube. This was yesterday. Now today I will be doing a second earlobe piercing on the same ear. I’ll use a smaller needle this time and directly do it after removing the ice cube. I’ll update ya’ll ✊
I’m gonna do this >:))
Ty for the tips
I used this method to pierce my nose. There was no pain but there surely was fear 😅 but i did it anyways🎉.
Thanks so much for the tips 😊
did it... felt nothing,, thank u for tutorial.. i recommend it :DDD
Time to do the entire ear lope lololol
don’t recommend it. its much better to go to a professional. I can almost guarantee you’re gonna find issues later on. piercings shouldn’t be a DIY.
@@freydis2751 whether by yourself or a professional, don’t get more than 2 piercings. your body will thank you. the more you get, the slower each one is going to take to heal. I’m sure you don’t wanna be going on 4 months with sore ears when lobes can take as little as 8 weeks.
For all of yall after you have pierced your ears: Use povidone iodine solution to clean your ears after the first day. It is much better than using saline solution and quickly heals the piercing site without the swelling stage. Also do not play with the new piercing by twisting it for a week or two to avoid infection.
so uhm i pierced my ears one side is a little lower then the other but so far so good :) no pain at all after i put ice on my ear for 5 minutes
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH
My Mom won’t let me pierce my ears
bro i'm scared
I was bored at 1am and piercing my second lobes. At first I tryed with a saftey pin but when I took it out it closed up as the needle is small. So I decide to just use my earings. I pierced both ears in less that 10 minutes (as you have to clean after each step) with no ice or any type of numbing and my ears didn't bleed all and had no pain. It's now the day after and there is no sign of infection or swelling :)
update
@@682domthadon my ear lobes were a bit puffy/ swolen for the first few days (which is normal) but now its starting to go down. I'll give an update in like 2 weeks bc it's a bit early to see results x
@@keziiaye update?
@@readyainefire9706 after 2 weeks I noticed that there was swelling coming back up so I took them out and they were swolen and full of puss bc I didn't used sterilised earing and the earings i used had rusted in my ears due to the exposure. Please please please don't pierce your ears with earing for shops like clairs or any regular shop, using a lighter or sanitising it is not enough as this earing is going into an open wound and can end you in serious trouble (worst case is losing your whole ear) I ordered a 6 pack of sterilised earing of amazon for less that 5 pounds and 3 weeks later and they're fully healed no swelling!
I did ut just now and didnt feel a thing .... recommended 💯
I did this last night I had a little trouble getting the ring in but over all I felt no pain but the after math is your going to have a sore ear I’m leaving the pin in for a couple days before putting in a ear ring hope everything goes well for you guys❤
Update I was able to change out the needle an put a earring in the best method to heal it is hands down warm Salt water my ear is basically fully healed at this point I can flick my ear around an feel no pain my first comment was posted 8 days ago btw
Final update my ear is fully l healed i feel no pain when i lay down or anything make sure to use warm salt water to heal it fast i thought i was going to get a ear infection but my ear was just very itchy an sore that’s all apart of the process over all i recommend this video bye guys❤️
I pierced mine with a syringe and trust me I didn't feel anything, and syringes are sharper and easier to pierce your ear with imo. I also put a potato under my ear lobe while we pierced it in, it really helps
Be supperrr careful with that,
If syringes aren't properly sterile & weren't used only one time- u can easily get a bad infection
lmao i'm sorry, a POTATO??
It's very useful😃😃😄..... thank you 💗💗💗

i would say at least a month just to be safe
@@maango333 Thanks 😭. I just got mine pierced a week ago.
Can I put any earring?

do you think a cartilage one will hurt?
I don’t have the balls to do this😂 idk why I even bothered to look it up
Not pain at all try it!
same here man, sitting here with a saftey pin but im too much of a pussy to actually do it-
Man, I am not afraid of pain at all, but I am very, very afraid of infection, even if I sterilize it. I am torn between piercing it and not piercing it due to infection. What is your advice to me? Will it cause infection?@@Upliftalex
Same here
Just sent it w a safety pin, couldn’t get an earring to go through without it sliding around so I just used a safety pin that I poured rubbing alcohol on. I’m gonna change it after soaking this earring in alcohol and after I’m gonna pour poroxide on it for a day to kill off any bad bacteria and infection along w the skin n stuff lol

Just did mine, it’s not as bad as you think you just kinda have to brace yourself and just PUSH😂. I just kept the safety pin in because when i tried to put the earring in it wouldn’t go through, so i just pushed the pin back through and left it. i’ll update in a few weeks or month and tell how it heals!!!
I did it! I just really recommend to keep safty pin for 15-20 minutes , I removed it immediately and tried to put the earring in but I couldn't and had to start all over again , but it was worth it.
omg i pierced one ear with the safety pin, waited for ab 5-6 mins and when i tried to take it out to put a stud in it closed up INSTANTLY i have to redo everything now ugh
Thank you it doesn't hurt one bit
Studied this video for weeks, followed every step exactly, and somehow the hole closed as soon as the safety pin was removed. I tried twice and it closed both times. I F'ing quit; going to Claire's
Ideally you should try to remove the pin and insert the earring at the same time. That's what I did (I used a sewing needle)
thanks so much i just did it and put an earring in!
Do u still have it? How did it go?
@@gloomymoon15 i still have it and it was pretty simple and painless

Can we do it without rubbing alcohol?
No, rubbing alcohol is to kill the bacteria around it

i used hand sanitizer and it was fine

why is there a wikihow for this?
The Ice makes my body even more reactive and not numb at all
Im thinking of doing this, planning on doing my second ear piercing. I’ll update once I do it.
i used a thumbtack and i did a double cartilage, i just used rubbing alcohol on the tack,earing,earring back, and my ear itself. pretty painless i’d say 3/10

@@thzy209 keep icing and sanitizing it .. 👍🏻
i really want to pierce my ears but i dont have money or time to do so. i want to pierce my own ears but i dont want my parents to notice that i did
Just do it. they may not notice and if they do, once it’s done there’s nothing they can do about it.
If they tell you to take it out just say it’ll get an infection and you have to clean it and leave it in for at least 6 months.
Isn't it less than a dollar..
@@Phati_mataa lower it down from 6 months
Ain't no way anyone would believe that ahaha
@@ניין-י9ש no that shits expensive💀💀
I did it and missed like a lot for example I didn't have a cork and I didn't have gloves and I used a kettle to boil the pin. It hurt like hell to get it in because I was slow and scared but I got it in finally. I hope it doesn't get infected
has it got infected yet? i wanna do it but scared its gonna get infected
I'm afraid of needle but I want to pierce my ear is it painfull??? Should i do this ??
Do you have to clean the piercing so it doesn’t get infected? Or is that not necessary?
WOW. and you think piercing yourself is gonna go well when you’re out here questioning if you should even be hygienic 🤣🤣 you want advice? use the highest concentration alcohol you can find, if it burns you’re doing it right. also make sure to twist them so the earring doesn’t get stuck 🤡
Nope- and sometimes people have their own way. And earings are like 50 bucks to get them done, to much. I would recommend finding a trusted brand of ear cleaner, for example claires. Order it before hand then clean it every day and night, you can switch the earings out in 4-6 weeks. It should not burn, i wouldnt use rubbing alcohol. Hope this helped 😊
@@idkwhattoputhere832u the only good piece of advice in all of that is to not use alcohol 💀💀💀💀💀💀 first you say not to clean, then you claim claires is a trusted piercing source but then you do say to clean it?? but with claires so ? then you claim you can change 4-6 weeks when actually it’s recommended 6 weeks minimum.
@@LiterallyAllNamesAreTaken wdym by twist? Can you explain it I'm making sure my ears doesn't get infected for using a safety pin
@@avrlx_x it was sarcasm!!! you should never pierce yourself. especially with a safety pin omg. literally go to a professional.
Is it alright if I use first aid spray instead of the rubbing alcohol?
it wont go throught what do i do
how long should i leave it in?
so i did pierce my both ears and now only im seeing this vid after piercing and i did with a embroidery needle and just used sanitizer on the needle. A little bit of blood only came and this is my first day idk i will get infection an am pretty scared rn of getting an infection .
Just did it now with my left side that are closed. Honestly it took around an hour since my safety pins are quite dull so I just use syringe needle (it's still in the package so it's sterile－ but just in case I'd soak the needle in rubbing alcohol). After I wait for 20 minute-ish then I change with my safety pins. And you know what? safety pins as earrings quite dope so i'll wait for my left sides quite healed then change to actual earrings.
Is it hurt? For me as someone has low pain tolerance－ it just meh, it's like i used earrings before. Is it messy? First with needle not at all, but when i'm about to change with pins thats when messy happens (with bl00d things yada yada, it ain't hurt at all)) so shout out for the ice numbing and some rubbing alcohol－ it works like a charm.
I'll update you guys if somethings happen in the future－ i hope for fast recovery with everyone who also try this at home!!!
(Update will be in comment if you want to see!)
Update day 2!!
1. Things have slowly healing right now, my left ear is still doesn't hurt, no redness, no swollen and no pus!!
2. Also reminder that from day 2 and on－ *ALWAYS* clean your new piercings (even better－ all pierces hole from old and new) with *saline solutions or soap-and-water* 'cause hydrogen peroxide/alcohol are too harsh for the wound and it'll prolong your healing!!
3. IF you want to use alcohol－ use it only on your earrings by soaking it for few minutes－ then patting it dry before you can use it again.
4. Also do not move your earrings around if the wound still new! So for the cleaning part you use saline solution 2-3 times a day!!
I'll update again in few weeks for now!!
@@nadiahana9238on what day should I remove and clean my earring? I'm scared the wound is still fresh and I'll have a hard time putting it back
@@raevenbobadilla3503 As it for me, I start cleanse my earring a day after I've pierced it without change (still use my safety pins at that time) for 5 days with saline solution first just to make sure it is safe. After the hole isn't too stings to remove anymore then i change to sterile earring and clean it the day after. All that time i clean my earring i do not remove it so they can heal.
If your wound still fresh and hurt while putting it back－ I suggest that you use soft towel with ice around your new wound area so they become numb again for 5-10 minutes, but this time when you putting it again you do it gently (with earrings or safety pins) so the pierce does not irritate the wound.
I hope this is help, and sorry you've gone through there, that must be hurt 😭
Update week 2 almost in week 3, finally my holes already healed, no scab no redness so it is successful guys! I recommended you doing this!!

GO TO A PROFESSIONAL. cartilage piercings are already hard to heal. doing it yourself is much worse.
Can you do this with eyebrows?
Does hurt when you put it in your ear
Not at alll
I tried this method without alcohol & it works fine for me but the problem is that whenever I try to remove safety pin & insert studs etc it didn't go in it☹️why I'm facing it?
Next time you try it leave the safety pins in for a few days
Leave the safety pin in for longer, or get a piercing needle and insert the earring thru the needle so it’s easier
That happened to me but I forced it in and their was blood everywhere 😭 it healed well though!
