There you people go again. Making bullshit annoying comments without knowing the full story. Sad how quick people are to judge and assume.
The only reason i've taken out earrings and let piercings heal is because i decided i wanted more and didn't like the originals position. I have 6 right now that i've done myself. and their all doing well. all have healed perfectly. no infections.

It's okay....THE BLOOD IS STERILE FROM THE ALCOHOL.

Until passing out and even potentially bleeding out, yes, it's infallible I swear, I've done it every time I've gone to get a tattoo!
kkthxbye
Exactly. I cannot believe these people didn't learn these things in their science classes. Then again, I also can't believe they don't have the basic knowledge to just look this shit up on their own in google, but that's just me. I understand that I grew up in an environment where I was exposed to these things everyday for years and years, but these are basic things we learn when we're in middle school, aren't they?
no infections are needed in piercings.
To the people saying they self-pierced and it turned out fine: That does not mean there wasn't a high risk involved. You could ask 100 people to jump off a cliff and one might survive. Does that mean they didn't take a risk?

This is not how you sterilize a needle. An autoclave is how you sterilize a needle properly. And the only safe type of needle to use is a hypodermic needle. This type of advice needs to be banned. hey. they asked i told. this is how my ears were peirced and they cam eout fine. And? It is generally unhealthy advice. It is a very great way to give someone an infection. Self-piercing in general is. Which is why telling someone how to do it should be banned anyway.

I recommend you read this and reconsider self-piercing.
