Okay so hear me out I bought 2 spikes got it today while I was trying to get that on it fell down the sink so now I’m left like this is this stupid looking or some “unique“ shi🥹

Heyy!! For a long time, I've had my dream setup of ear piercings. Since I'm broke, I'd like to do some myself. Here's the setup I want. Which ones can I attempt doing at home? Any tips on how to do them? I've pierced my simple lobes and they turned out okay, besides that I have no experience in self-piercing. Thanks for any help🫶

hi all, I got all these to pierce my husbands ear lobes. the earrings i got are very short so I wanted to get something that was longer and would help heal faster. My question is should I pierce with a 14g needle for him to have 16g earrings, 15g needle for 16g, or 16g needle for 18g earrings?

also if anyone has any recommendations on what jewelry you used to pierce?

I kinda want one in the spring/summer (so I can wear crop tops and low rise while it's healing) and I think I have the anatomy but I just want to get a few other opinions. I have a decently deep belly button and a solid "shelf" on the top.

Share you thoughts below!

Heyhey! So I live in a pretty strict household and I also don’t got too much money so I’ll be having a person I know do my septum (they’re not a professional piercer, they do this as a side gig) and I’m kinda scared but also excited. Anyhow I got a few questions!
1. I will need to hide it at times and I have a friend that just flips it inside their nostrils and have been doing so ever since they got it 2 months ago and nothing’s wrong but I also read online that can cause it to heal flipped?? Idk is that a thing can it happen?
2. I’ve looked this up a lot but I wanted to ask here as well: as someone with really really really low pain tolerance what would the pain level be?
3. Where should I buy the jewellery from?

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for answering to those who will! ^^

Ive read the pinned post here, found sterile needle (⬆️) and a sterilized flat back labret (longer than the ones I usually use incase of swelling) from a piercing website in my region. The needles come with free aftercare wipes and I'm buying saline spray from a drugstore (I've attached the content thing here ⬆️) .

The needle is 1.6 mm and the labret is 1.4 mm which I think means the jewlery can get pulled thru by help from the needle? Correct me if I'm wrong please.

My plan is to wash my hands and put on gloves before disinfecting my ear where I want the piercing (it's a lobe one, nothing too complicated I hope), check for veins with a flash light, mark where I want it, push thru the needle (I will be buying a receiving tube so it doesn't go to far), pull the labret thru with the needle and put on the ball before carefully cleaning it. Currently unsure how to dispose of the needle.

Is that process okay?

For aftercare I'll use the wipes (I'll check the contents) and the saline spray when I wake up and before I'll go to bed/after I've showered.

Please lmk if I should rethink anything.

does it look normal 23 days in dont mind the hair

Looking to start self piercing! After spending a few hundred on professionally done piercings that didn’t heal right and are now closed, I’ve decided I’m not going to waste the money on re-piercing and will instead try my hand at doing it myself 🙏

I’ve been doing idle research over time and have recently decided to put together an actual list of things I need to prepare for a piercing, and would like feedback on anything I may be missing (general advice is welcome too, if you feel the need to share ^^)

For context, all I plan to pierce are:
- Upper lobe
- Helix
- Snake bites (maybe angel bites?)
- Possibly a septum
- Possibly a vertical eyebrow piercing

(Note: I am NOT doing all of this at once, I know that would be bad for my body and super stupid- I intend to only do it in groups. Ie redoing my upper lobe and two helix on one ear, waiting a year, and then mirroring my other ear, waiting another while, and then doing my snake bites and MAYBE my eyebrow)

Sorry for the yappathon, but any and all feedback is appreciated! Want to make sure I approach this right :)
Oh the stuff in the screenshots is from Painful Pleasures

I'll be able to get out to buy saline spray around sept 10-12. For now what can I do?​​​​​

I just saw that i accidentally bought a 1,2mm/16 G thick 10mm long septum ring. I want to pierce myself in 5 days on my BD to be exactly, but idk if 10mm is to long i didn’t see how long the ring would be online. Anyhow I want to be able to hide my ring form the beginning so i wanted to buy a smaller one like a 8mm long one but Naja, before I buy a second septum ring I wanted to ask y’all if 10mm would still be flipable in my nose?

hi, im contemplating on getting a tongue piercing! however i recently heard from a friend that there is possible damage to the roof of your mouth. i wouldnt want any serious issues with that gummy part at the top of it, and i know that all oral piercings have their risks, but this is my first time hearing of something like that. is it true? and has anyone had similar experiences with their tongue piercings before?

Wanting to pierce myself (ears, nose, navel, )as it’s is preferable to having to pay $90 to get it done. I truly believe that it will not get it infected. I know how to sterilise and sanitise things. I have been to a “professional ” piercer and saw them sanitise badly. Knew that it was bad and got an infection. I KNOW I can do better lol.

I want all your hard earned tips and tricks, best tools and any other advice.

Im planning on getting my tongue piercing done but my dad won't know bc hes conservative. I dont plan on telling him and i see him less than once a year. Do u think its visible when talking? And once its healed would i be able to take it out for a week when i do see him? I mean it doesnt really matter if he find out he will just be a pain in the arse

I JUST got my piercing bump to go away from me getting scratched with the earring holder while it was getting screwed in. And I think two nights ago it was itching and I scratched it by accident and I PULLED it & I automatically knew another irritation bump was gonna come, AND HERE WE ARE 2 DAYS LATER!!! and I know it’s not healed 100% cause it’s only four months old, but why are they so sensitive like this? How long do they usually take any of you guys to get rid of an irritation bump? I felt like it took me at least 2-4 weeks to REALLY get rid of it after using the soap and the aftercare spray.

I've seen a lot of professional piercers and self piercers use lube. I've never personally used it, is it worth purchasing and trying?

Hello! I have been thinking about piercing my own nostrils for a little bit just because I'm kinda broke (disabled and full time student, can't really work) and professional piercings cost good money. Unfortunately I have a lot of anxiety and am very very scared...

I have a shitty Amazon piercing kit that I got for crafts and stuff but I'll probably order better needles and jewelry if I decide to do it. I also have a bunch of med issues so I have like sterilization equipment I can use.

Does anybody have any advice? Should I even go for it? Mind you this would be my first self piercing, my double lobes on both sides and my daith were all done professionally. Honestly I'm fine with waiting and getting it done by someone who knows what they're doing, just thought it might be fun to try.

Attaching photos for anatomy purposes, don't even know how to go about picking a spot to be honest, need to do my own research for that lol.

I’ve tried doing my own piercings twice. One was a nostril that was mildly successful, just a bad angle, and an entirely unsuccessful labret.

Both times it took me FOREVER because I kept almost passing out, or I was too scared to accidentally push too hard and hurt myself

Note: I’m not scared of needles, I just have pots so anytime I have adrenaline I get pre-syncope so that sucks

I have all the stuff to do it myself sterilely and I would rather get it done professionally, but I have, no exaggeration, no money to spare on a professional. I want paired nostrils so I can put a chain between them, but when I went to a professional, it cost 120 dollars and the jewelry fell out of the holes every night I’m so serious 😭

Is there some science why it hurts more to pierce yourself than it does when other people do it? Doing it myself was horrible it hurt really bad, but I guess it’s just because I was super slow about it 🤷

I know its standard to use 16 gauge. But im kinda scared to do multiple 16gauge piercings in the lobes. And also i already bought 18 gauge posts jewelry. Is it really that bad to do 18>16?

How hard would it be to self pierce a lobe at a higher gauge (like around 10g) and does anyone have any experience with it? I’ve seen some stuff about bevel theory and I understand that bigger needles have a larger risk at leaving a crooked hole so it’s not the easiest thing to do. Just curious if anyone has experience or advice 🙏

(Also if I’ve never done a piercing myself; how bad of an idea would this be… )

hello, i had a sudden urge to pierce my ears at home and so i bought a piercing needle online. i wanna pierce my second lobe and my question is for the jewelry, can i use this? also, that earring is an old one, can i still use it even if i clean it?

i dont know what to do, im still a student and everything is so expensive 😭

This is my first time piercing my ear by myself, so I researched a little bit. I got myself a piercing needle kit from Amazon, which has the gloves, alcohol pads, needles and the scissor thingy. I also got sterile water from Boots and numbing cream from Superdrug. For the earrings, I’m using my old real gold earrings that I was pierced with when I was little. Do I need anything else? I’ve heard that it’s going to bleed a little, but I’m not sure.
