HOW TO PIERCE YOURSELF
Rule No.1 – Don’t do it!
How do I pierce myself?
Piercing yourself can lead to severe problems including:
Large Infection
- eg cartilage infections. This can involve amputation of area (cutting out the infected area) before it spreads.
– normal infections which leads to doctor’s appointments for antibiotics, plus swelling of the area which may cause an abcess resulting in loose drooping of the skin.
Piercing a vein or artery by mistake – This doesn’t stop bleeding and involves a visit to the emergency room which can work out VERY expensive and even more painful!
Best bet if you are still thinking of piercing yourself, pop in to the shop and have a chat to Dougie, he’ll be able to advise you and explain the dangers.
I DO ALL MINE MYSELF AND I HAVNT HAD NONE OF THESE PROBLEMS IVE GOT 15 DIFFERENT PIERCINGS TOO!
Lucky You:) These are just a couple of things that can go wrong.
Most “home” piercings get small infections if they’re not looked after properly.
However, a small percentage of people are lucky and get away with no infection.
i pierced my top ear myself,
:L
i was so close to piercing my top lip,
but then realised it was a bad idea,
jag vill ju inte verka radikal, men jag ska pierca tungan, ögonbrynet, å sist men inte minst överörona… Inte att jag tror jag får nån infektion, men däremot har jag ju hört det att överörat är det som gör mest ont…
I pierced the top of my ear my self, it didn’t go infected because I cleaned it every day. But when I stuck in the wrong type of earring the top of my ear swelled up and had all puss in it
I pierced my tongue myself, it was very stupid :S. Do I need an adult to get pierced in time bomb? (im 15)
