How to pierce your ear yourself.

It is preferable you pierce your ear with a professional or get a friend to do it for you. If its your first piercing its going to be real scary but be rest assured it doesn't hurt as much as you think.
INSTRUMENTS
Items needed;
1. A piercing needle. If you cant get a piercing needle, you can use a sewing needle after carefully sterilizing it. Do not use a safety pin. You'll probably get an infection.


2. A pair of new earrings. Do not use old earrings. Sealed earrings are the safest type to use. Make sure you buy original earrings.


3. Cotton wool.
4. A bottle of hydrogen peroxide.
Its important to sterilize infections can be very painful and even lead to amputation.
STEPS.
First step: take a bath. To clean and lower your body temperature.
Second step: sterilize your pin by boiling it in water. This reduces infection risks.
Third step: take painkillers. Even though the pain is minimal, its advisable to take pain killers.
Fourth step: use a cotton wool soaked in hydrogen peroxide to wipe the spot you want to pierce.
Fifth step: place a slice of apple or any hard object behind your ear, this guides you when piercing.
Sixth step: pick up your needle, take a deep breath and gently push it into the spot. Dont stop until the needle is protruding behind your ear, gently remove it and put in your new earrings. Done!


clean your ear regularly with hydrogen peroxide, day and night. Do not remove the earring until it totally heals else the piercing will disappear. Wiggle the earring gently from time to time. This helps widen the hole.
It doesnt hurt that much. I have done it a few times, no infection, no bleeding. And painless. :)

hit me up if you did it. :)
