Piercing is becoming more and more popular today. Many people choose to do it on their own. However, this is a very risky undertaking. Do you have enough courage to pierce a hole in your own body with your own hands? If so, you can follow the steps below.

Steps

1. 1 Collect everything you need in one place. In the picture you can see a set of items you need to make your own piercing.
2. 2 Disinfect your hands. Wash your hands thoroughly unless you want to infect the puncture site. Alternatively, wear sterile gloves.
3. 3 Disinfect the needle. Wipe it with a tissue soaked in rubbing alcohol and bake the tip of the needle over the fire. This will reduce the risk of wound infection.
4. 4 Thread in the thread. Use white thread to prevent the paint from irritating the freshly punctured hole.
5. 5 Mark the exact spot where you are going to puncture. A good way is to mark it with a ballpoint pen.
6. 6 Use ice to numb your skin. This will help reduce the pain during the piercing.
7. 7 Take the needle and place it on the mark where you are going to pierce. Let's move on to the most important stage of the process !!!
8. 8 Press down gently on the needle and pierce the skin. Continue pressing until the tip of the needle appears on the other side.
9. 9 Pull the needle through so that the thread through the needle shows up on the other side. Do not pull on the thread too hard, or you may pull it out of the hole. You don't want to repeat the piercing again.
10. 10 Make a small ring of thread and tie a knot at the ends. Cut off the excess thread ends. The ring should look like a small earring made of thread.
11. 11 Take a cotton swab and soak it in rubbing alcohol. Gently rub the skin around the hole. You may feel a slight burning sensation.

Tips

• Treat your piercing daily. Wipe the thread and the area around the puncture with a stick dipped in alcohol. You don't want inflammation to develop.
• Before you start the process, think carefully about whether or not you really need a piercing.
• Watch the related videos on Youtube. They will give you an idea of ​​what to expect from the process.
• When making a thread ring, don't pull it too tight. There should be enough space between the skin and the nodule.
• If a home piercing procedure seems like a bad idea to you, you can always turn to a professional. It is not that expensive.
• Pull the thread back and forth. This will help make the hole larger.
• If you are planning to get your navel or tongue pierced, you will need a thicker needle. In this case, you will need to insert the piercing ring immediately after piercing, rather than using a thread.
• Leave the thread in the hole for a week. After that, remove the thread, insert a special ring for piercing and wear for at least 4-6 weeks without removing.
• Remember to breathe. Calm down, everything will be all right.If you hold your breath, you may faint, so please remember to breathe.
• If you don't want to mess around with threads and needles, you can buy a home piercing kit from specialty stores.
• Do not get your own piercing if you are under fifteen years of age. Since you may be doing it wrong, you are better off going to a special salon or ask for help from an adult who already has the relevant experience.

Warnings

• A scar may form at the puncture site. To prevent this, follow the instructions accurately and carefully.
• The puncture site may bleed. This sometimes happens when you get pierced.
• Be very careful. Self-piercing, non-professional piercing can be dangerous complications. If you do this incorrectly, an infection or scar may develop.
• If the pain is severe, stop. Don't torture yourself. Try it another day, maybe next time you will do better.
