friends, have you ever given yourself a piercing?

nope...not on my own.

please be careful! make sure everything is sterilized.

I also have a piercing in my nose and in both ears, but I'd never do it anywhere else than at a professional.

I wouldn’t recommend doing your own piercing it has to be sterilised properly to avoid infections

Doing it yourself sounds dangerous. Needs to be clean/sterilised, and if something went wrong it would be a big problem

I would suggest you don't because of the risk, but if you do decide to do this, be extremely careful about hygiene. Wash your hands before and after, clean the area with a swab before you do it and use a sterile needle. But all these things will be don by a professional, so it's probably better there.

No all mine have been done professionally

i had mine done professionally. Follow the advice of everyone here and seek out the most safe way possible!

I'm going back and forth on whether I'll get a piercing or not, but if I ever do, it'll definitely be done by a professional.
