Don't I know someone who does it with safety pins too, but either way, don't try it. Get it professionally done. It's not worth a bad ear infection.

Seriously, their'll probably end up wonky if you do it yourself.

Easy. I used a safety pin and the wall.  Had to put my ear against the wall for it get through.

You're an idiot if you plan to do this yourself, honestly.
If you aren't responsible enough to go to someone who knows what they are doing, then you don't deserve to be pierced, simple as that.

Piercing any part of your body without a hypodermic needle is dangerous, and just asking for an infection, minor or major. Places like Clairs and Piercing Pagoda are pieces of shit. They practice on fucking teddy bears for a couple of weeks, at best, for pete's sake. And people let them shove unsterile shit through their body, just because they claim to be professionals, though they really aren't.

don't use a safety pin it's the wrong kind of metal. Use a needle. or even a sharp earing.

steralize everything with rubbing alcohol. Ice it numb. then mark the spot you want it. then shove it thru and pierce it.

All general statements are untrue.

Rubbing alcohol does not sterilize metal.

I've pierced my ears by myself three times now, each one using a safety pin. They all turned out fine.

Good for you, it doesn't make you smart.
Any good piercer will tell you that. If you don't believe me, and think I'm just trying to be a bitch, then go ask one.
If you just want to try and be a badass, or are just cheap, and lazy, then keep shoving dirty needles through your skin, and see how long you can get away without getting a nasty infection. You think that shit can't kill you? You'd be dead wrong if you do.
