What do you guys think about.., self piercing? Options

[HelloSunshine]

Well..a couple of days ago a girl in seventh grade was planning to pierce her tongue. She already had the tongue rings and such, she just needed to pierce it, without her parents knowing. When I found out what she was doing it with, a push pin, I was in shock. I mean, it was really unsanitary, and it would've needed sterilization. Turns out she chickened out, like all my friends thought she would.

The point of this topic is what do you guys think about self piercing?
I think it's fine if you know what to use and that you're under parental supervision, I suppose, if you need it

[*islandgirl4eva*]

I don't see why you would need a piercing...but that could be scary. Especially for myself. I don't handle pain or blood well, and knowing myself as I do, I would screw it up. Yeah, better to leave it to people who have the tools and skill to get the job done.

[jnukes]

i know a guy at my school who pieced his nipple . O.o;;;;... -_______________________________-;;


then later that day, someone hit it really hard and he bled like hella . if you're gonna get a piercing, please do it correctly/professionally. lol

[inthemudhole]

Yeh. This girl at my school tried to pierce her own belly button once.
If you're going to pierce yourself.. do it professionally.. and if you're not allowed, then just wait..

[LeSLiE]

I think it's okay if you know what you're doing. But a push pin..?? INFECTION!!

I agree, I wouldn't be able to handle it. My friends and I were wondering why in the world she would want a piercing anyway.

[Nicolatofu]

yeah i don't suggest self piercing, my friend pierced her belly button with a tack once at my house, is will most likely get infected, so it's just better to wait..

Well for me, I had my ears pierced till I was 4 and it KINDA closed up, but it turned out it didn't close all the way because I was trying to wear these earrings I thought were pretty, and I could still see the mark where my piercing used to be, so I kept pushing the earrings in and they finally went through. So if you call that self-piercing, it's not that bad. I haven't gotten an infection yet.

[*tyedyefroggy*]

Self piecing shouldnt be done, at all! You're never sure what will happen in the future, meaning like swelling, infection, blah blah blah. ONLY Professionals should be allowed to do the piercing. Its common sense.

[imafreakinazn]

self piercing is gross and unsanitary.
:P

[Chaos13]

its very bad and very unsanitized. for some reason i want my left ear pierced again cuz its closed already. should i?

[angel-roh]

Well as long as you don't get STDs. Sharing needles is a bad thing. Well I don't know if the sharp objects you used is what you share with others, but you know it's bad haha.

Well my friend actually self-pierced herself and she knows the rules of the STDs. So right after she used it, she threw it in the trash can. So after you self-pierce, you gotta threw it right away before someone touches it and use it.

[Levy2k6]

i'd rather go to a "professional", lol.

[jaeman]

Piercing yourself is kinda stupid, especially if you have no clue to what you're doing.
Just go see a professional when you are older, I see no point in piercings other than earrings.

Levy2k6; don't double post, it's really really really really bad on forums.

[Chii]

self piercing is gross and unsanitary.
:P

exactly, that's so wow...

umm...i don't think people pierce themselves with those kinds of needles...and i think it's aids you get from infected needles...but the person who used it has to have the hiv or aids virus

[iheartsimba]

eh i dont care. i dont do it at all, but if they wanna why not.

my bestfirend last year peirced herself like daily..it was like some version of mutillating herself..she had so many peircings. i could never do that

[x-hobo-x]

my bro had an ear peirced.... gun shot ^^
and i hear it doesnt hurt!! o.o ~~lies..

[lostintheclouds]

this girl i know pierced her belly button with a safety pin ouch.
she said it didnt hurt, but she obviously wasnt sober at the time x]P

anyway, i think its stupid. there's a big enough chance of it getting infected by a pro let alone doing it yourself.

[kellyannie]

My friend pierced her belly button and tongue by herself, and it turned out fine. So I guess it just depends on who does it... but I would prefer getting it professionally done

[juliar]

it's called go to claire's for ears and piercing parlors and such for other areas. you don't want to end up getting an infection on your tongue.

push pins are bad.

[mizz_mithy]

about a month ago i went into the girl's bathroom and there was this girl trying to pierce her belly button. it was nasty. self piercing seems nasty and gross. i sure wouldn't do it.

[Skyline Drive]

When it comes to piercing the tongue.. it should definately be done by a proffessional because you can hit the wrong nerve and that definately won't be a good thing. I think it is alright do self piercing when it comes to ears , but anything besides that I think it should be done proffessionally.

[silver-rain]

eh, i can't imagine piercing myself. i would rather get it done professionally.

[melancholy]

I think it's a very very ignorant thing to do. Piercing your body is a potentially dangerous thing, and in the wrong hands could kill you. Save yourself the hospital bill and the posible disfiguration and go to a professional, and i don't mean the girl at Claires. A licensed piercer who knows what the hell they are doing. *steps off soap box*

[xxruinedsoulxx]

self piercing? i'm okay with it. as long as it's on the ears (i think you can buy a piercing kit or something ). but on the tongue? you should go to the professional people.

[jr0h]

i never thought about doing it. probably cuz im too lazy so i'd just have those places do it for me.

[laur3nw]

Doing it by yourself is really risky...I'd rather do it professionally, just to be on the safe side.

[tooeffingcrazy]

Parent Trap! Apple and a needle. That is very unsanitary! No, i don't know anyone with self piercings.

[freeflow]

self piercing
i would never do it
but i know people do it but
i dont think its that good because its not as safe as having someone as a perfessional or anyone that keeps things clean do it

[toodlepops.]

ouch!

who would be stupid enough to pierce themselves? go do it professionally.

[HelloSunshine]

this girl i know pierced her belly button with a safety pin  ouch.
she said it didnt hurt, but she obviously wasnt sober at the time x]P

anyway, i think its stupid. there's a big enough chance of it getting infected by a pro let alone doing it yourself.

ouch haha, but I agree completely, It's really unsanitary, and she's only 13, but, again, she chickend out.

[ANG33ZY]

professional piercing for me only.

[Tinkerballa]

i think its kind of gross... i wouldnt do it,...i dont like seeing my own blood lol. it makes me sick. my friend pierce her tongue and it started bleeding really bad and had to go to the emergency room. it was bad.

[s0pnayish]

Makes me cringe. I find it very unsanitary and I hate needles.

[*stephinika*]

yeah sounds kinda freaky...i know a girl who apparently pierced her own nipple. um ow!? not cool.

[gigiopolis]

Self-piercing's okay, I guess, if you do it on the ears. Anywhere else is unsafe. Besides, places other than your ears that you want to be pierced have a higher risk of infection anyway, even if done by professionals. So don't pierce your own belly button, lip, nipple (hey, whatever rocks your boat). If you must pierce your ears by yourself, make sure it's clean.

My mom used to work at a jewelry shop a looong time ago in Hong Kong. She'd rub ginger root on the piercee's ear for a couple of minutes, sterilize a needle, and stab it through. It's not very painful because the ginger root burns for a while. //random.

My friend took her earring off, and within a day the hole started to close up. She heard from the piercing guy that if that happens you need to get it fixed immediately. So during lunch, they went to the nurse, got some alcohol and a clean needle, and stabbed it through. Whether it was absolutely necessary to pierce it at that moment, I have no clue.

and i hear it doesnt hurt!! o.o ~~lies..

it doesnt hurt.


whoa, pushpin. grossness. if you had the right "utensils" and knew what you were doing then i think it's fine. but if not, go get it done professionally.

[tofumonzter]

piercing with a pin?
and why pierce?

it's pretty dumb in my opinion..

[Shattered_Hope]

self piercing=dangerous

[sunissed14127]

well I've thought about piercing my belly button myself, but I decided not to do it. I'd rather have a professional do it.

[D1SMANTLED]

self peircing is really really stupid. even if you get it peirced at a professional, you can and will get an infection one time or another. so, if you pierce it yourself... you get it.
