Body piercing is a unique and artistic way for you to express your own style and personality. This type of beauty has been around for more than 5,000 years, and you have a lot to choose from. [1] X Source of Research Whether it’s piercing your ears, nose, eyebrows, tongue, navel or lips, it’s always best to see a professional piercer. However, if you’re determined to do it yourself, there are a few ways to make your piercing as hygienic, painless, and safe as possible.
Steps
Cleaning and preparation
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/33/Do-a-Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-1-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Do-a-Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-1-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/33/Do-a- Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-1-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Do-a-Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-1-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Wash your hands and the area to be pierced. Wash your hands thoroughly with antibacterial soap, then dry with a clean towel. You will wash the area about to be pierced after you have washed your hands. Pour some alcohol on a sterile gauze pad and wipe the skin thoroughly. Alcohol wipes also work. [2] X Source of Research To prevent re-contamination of the area about to be pierced, do not touch it after it has been disinfected.
- The easiest type of piercing at home is through the earlobe. Nasal and navel piercings can also be self-pierced at home with a low risk. For piercings near the mouth (like the tongue or lips), near the eyes, or on the top of the ears, it’s best to go to a professional piercing facility. You run the risk of permanent scarring, damaged body parts, or even disfigurement. Don’t take risks.
- If possible, you should wear sterile gloves after washing your hands to prevent infection.

Sterilize the piercing needle. Using new piercing needles that have never been used is ideal. You should only take the needle out of its packaging when you are done with everything. [3] X Research Source If only unpacked or used piercing needles are available, you will need to disinfect the needles. The more thoroughly disinfect the needle and skin area, the lower the risk of infection.
- Use specialized piercing needles, not sewing or other needles. Piercing needles are of the right size and sharpness to do this, and any other tool can cause unnecessary pain or damage to the skin.
- You can buy piercing needles on Amazon.

Follow all hygiene precautions and be sure to use specialized products! Professional piercings may be safest since everything is sterile, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create an environment close to professional standards.

Choose jewelry. It is important that you use high-quality jewelry to reduce the risk of infection, irritation or allergies. Professional piercing salon staff often recommend jewelry made of surgical steel, 14 or 18 karat yellow gold, 18 karat white gold, niobium, or titanium. [4] X Research Source Don’t buy cheap jewelry to keep costs down. Invest in quality jewelry to wear right after your piercing; You can wear more casual things later when the piercing has healed.
- Clean jewelry with rubbing alcohol.

Mark where you want the piercing on your skin. Use a pen to make a small dot where the piercing is about to be pierced, remember to choose where it looks best. If you’re piercing your ears, remember to align them with proportions. Aim at all angles and make sure to mark the exact spot where you want your piercing. This mark will be the guide point for the piercing needle. [5] X Research Sources
- If you’re not sure if you want your piercing or where to get it, use a marker to mark a point and leave it for a few days to see how you feel when you see the marker every time you look in the mirror. This will help you know if you like the piercing before you do it.
- If you have a navel piercing, pinch the skin above the navel. Draw a dot on this skin fold. When starting to pierce, it is best to pierce from below. In other words, you’ll insert the needle from the bottom up through this fold of skin and align the needle through the dot you just drew. [6] X Research Sources
- Marking on the tongue is obviously not easy. It’s also a sign that you really shouldn’t have a tongue piercing at home. Saving money and time sounds tempting, but it’s not worth the risk when it comes to the part you need to use to talk and eat.
Piercing

Align the needle with the marked point. Make sure you can hold the needle firmly. Position the needle at the angle where you want the jewelry to be placed. In other words, just like the piercing goes through the ear or navel, so the needle must go through. If you pierce the needle at an unusual angle, it will be difficult to put on jewelry later, so take the time to align the needle.
- If you want, you can apply a little numbing gel to your ear before your piercing. Wait a moment for the numbing gel to take effect. [7] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4b/Do-a-Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Do-a-Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4b/Do-a- Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Do-a-Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Take a deep breath and push the needle through. Your movements should be fast and smooth. If you hesitate to push little by little and then stop again, the skin may tear. With a smooth motion when inserting the needle, you will create a neater piercing and faster healing. [8] X Research Source Push the needle through the ear to the middle of the needle. Leave the needle in place for about 20 minutes to make sure you can insert your jewelry after you remove it.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/94/Do-a-Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Do-a-Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/94/Do-a- Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Do-a-Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Pull out the needle and quickly insert the jewelry. After leaving the needle in the piercing for 20 minutes, you can now replace it with something more beautiful. The piercing will heal quickly, so have your jewelry ready before you remove the needle. Put clean jewelry in the piercing. You can press a little to let the jewelry through, but remember not to press hard.
Clean the piercing
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/73/Do-a-Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Do-a-Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/73/Do-a- Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Do-a-Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Wash the piercing with a saline solution. While it is correct to use alcohol to clean tools and skin before piercing, alcohol can dry out the wound after piercing. The saline solution is gentler and will not dry out. You can buy saline solution at the pharmacy or make your own. Try to soak the newly pierced part in the salt solution in a bowl or cup. [9] X Research Source If soaking is not possible, use a cotton swab to dab the solution into the piercing.
- If you’re making your own salt solution, use fine-grained sea salt that doesn’t contain iodine. Some grocery stores sell this salt along with regular table salt, or you can buy it online.
- Dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a cup of filtered or bottled water. Reduce salt if your skin feels dry.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/35/Do-a-Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Do-a-Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/35/Do-a- Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Do-a-Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Avoid touching the piercing. After getting your piercing, you may be tempted to rotate your new piece of jewelry, but doing so greatly increases the risk of infection. Try not to touch it, except when washing the wound daily. Never touch your piercing without washing your hands thoroughly.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/75/Do-a-Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px- Do-a-Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/75/Do-a- Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Do-a-Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Keep the original jewelry while the wound is healing. Even if you have a whole set of beautiful high-quality jewelry, changing jewelry while the wound is not healing increases the risk of infection. Depending on the location of the body, this time can take 1 month to 1 year. [10] X Research Source

Understanding the risks
Know that piercings can bleed. The tongue has blood vessels and a large vein near the tip of the tongue that can bleed profusely when punctured. Do not pierce your own tongue. The tongue is the part that bleeds the most, other parts can definitely bleed too. [11] X Trusted Source National Health Service (UK) Go to Source Again, it’s best to go to a professional piercer. They can minimize bleeding.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a5/Do-a-Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-12.jpg/v4-460px-Do-a- Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-12.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a5/Do-a-Self-Piercing-at-Home- Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Do-a-Self-Piercing-at-Home-Step-12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Understand that scar tissue can form. If you do the piercing yourself, the risk of infection and bad scarring is higher. [12] X Trusted Source National Health Service (UK) Go to Source Even if you have your piercing removed later, the scar may remain permanent. Consider this before you decide to put the needle through your nose, ears, eyebrows, lips, tongue, or navel. Going to a professional piercing salon can take time and money, but it’s worth it so you don’t have to worry about scarring.
Note that serious infections can occur. Piercing wounds can cause some serious complications. An untreated infection can lead to sepsis, toxic shock syndrome, and blood poisoning. [13] X Trusted Source National Health Service (UK) Go to Source It is extremely important to understand the possible consequences before you decide to get yourself pierced.
- Whether it’s your own piercing or going to a salon, you must anticipate problems that may arise. If the wound is bleeding, you should see a doctor. If the wound is red, painful, and swollen for longer than 3 days, see your doctor. If anything seems unusual, don’t hesitate to get it checked out.
