Er… :D
Make sure the safety pin is sterilised!!!
What are you going to pierce it with?
save up and pay for it better than getting an infection on it i wouldnt risk it or at least get the right stuff

Well said.
I would do it professionally if I were you.
And I wouldn’t put a safety pin in.
Piercing cartilage hurts a whole lot more than piercing the ear lobe. You need it done by somneone experienced.
NO…Don’t even think of it. Save up and get it done properly. I can guarantee you will regret it.
im not allowed to get anything pierced. my mom wont let me =[
ok, WELL i also wanted to peirce the like middle of my ear. like right before the cartilage, have you seen anyone with just one ear pierced there. if that makes sence.

Do you mean right at the top of your ear lobe on the side of your ear?
I know people who have got piercings there, just on one side.
How old are you?
do you think it looks ok.
im 13.

Yeah…I think it looks fine.
Though I wouldn’t have it done, just my ear lobes are enough for me, and possibly my nose :)

Yeah. It’s your body in the end.
I think your mum just wants to protect you, you’re still pretty young and all.
Maybe you could talk her into just getting normal piercings first? Or is she hard to persuade?
i have my lobes peirced. but there all like uneven so it looks weird.
(iv pierced my nose before=])
i don’t really know how it would look, i can’t find any pictures of just that pierced.
my mothers pretty hard yo persuade.

Did you pierce your lobes yourself?
Maybe you should just let the holes in your lobes grow over and get them redone.
How did piercing your nose go?

Check this out.
Do you mean the one called ’snug’?
“Did you pierce your lobes yourself?”
Nope. i got them done when i was six.
My nose was fine i kept it in for the weekend and i didn’t really like it so i took it out.
no.

So why won’t your mum let you get any piercings, if you’ve already had some done before?
That’s good about your nose. Sometimes when people pierce stuff themselves they end up with really zany infections.
That would look really nice, I think :)
because she said my lobe is enough. and she didn’t know i pierced my nose =] i hid it well.
really? like just the one ear? because i think i’ll look nice but i want other peoples opinions.

Do you reckon if you told her that your lobe piercings are uneven and all she’d let you get them redone?
I truly believe that one ear pierced like that would look lovely.
Sorry this took ages, got distracted. :)
I have told her. I have told her everyday for the past 2 years. she doesn’t care.
i think im gonna do the middle lobe ear thinggy tonight. i found a earing. its not a stud, but it’ll work.
its ok.

Well, it sounds like your mum can’t be won over! :)
What will you pierce it with…?
I don’t think you should do it yourself. You could get an infection.
sewing needle
or safty pin. But iv read that its better to use a sewing needle.
i know i shouldn’t do it myself. but i want to.

dont do it yourself its not a good idea if your going to get it done no matter what at least get it done properly

Don’t do it yourself.
I know you want to, but in the end, I’d rather be safe than sorry, wouldn’t you?
But I guess I’m just a random person somewhere in the world.
I don’t know if I can change your mind.
I personally wouldn’t do it myself.
I’d wait.
I mean, your ears aren’t going anywhere, are they?
What’s a few years without a piercing going to change?
But…
If you still want to do it, and I can’t change your mind…
Just make sure you sterilise the bloody needle! :)
And the earring!
i agree with what crazy firework personaly i would wait but if your going to do it i would advise heating the needle something to sterilise it use some ice on your ear and a cork so u dont stad ur head with the needle cartalage is hard and get a stud and a decent needle so thin loops last thing u want is to do it and for it the hole to be too small but i wouldnt advise it
if your going to get it done i would at least do it profeshionaly
after all if you get an infection i bet you mum would stress forever i know mine would

i know this was posted 7 months ago
so i dunno wha youve done lol =)
i have a few ear piercings and i got them all done professionally and so havent had an infection
my friend did all but one of hers herself, and all but one got infected.
my mum was really against me getting more than my seconds done, but i managed to bargain with her, i.e. not getting facial piercings if she’ll let me get as many ear piercings as i want
and plus, explaining the process of it seemed to help my mum allow me get it
=)
especially with cartilige piercings, they hurt for a while after
so why chance them hurtng even longer after because of infections?
plus
when i got my scaffold done proffessionally
it hurt a bit
so doing it yourself is gonna hurt a lot more
but i dunno everyone’s different i guess
i wouldnt put a safety pin in afterwards - its too thin, so youd have to force the earring through the next day
but yes, if you are going to DIY it, sterilize the needle and earring
good luck? if you havent done it yourself
