Where can you buy a self piercing kit for ear lobes?

Answer 1

The reasons you should not attempt to pierce your self should be obvious, but for those who think it's a "DIY" project, here's some food for thought.

Infection and contraction of MRSA, HIV, Meningitis, Hepatitis and Tetanus are all very serious health issues, MRSA is an antibiotic resistant bacteria that can in most cases land the unlucky individual in the hospital (and has been responsible for serious deformities and deaths). These infections has been caused by using unsterilized equipment and materials. Sterilization is not achieved by pouring alcohol over needles and jewellery, or burning these items over a fire or exposed flame. Microorganisms live in the fine fissures and cracks in needles and jewellery and only the high temperature and pressure of a steam Autoclave can render these and many other bacteria harmless.

The above reasons alone should be enough to sway anyone from thinking they can do it themselves. Professional body piercers have years of hands on training and education to enable them to make any piercing "look simple", when in fact they are considering dozens of things when they lay out a piercing and actually do it. So consider your lack of knowledge, training and skills before you attempt to do any self piercing, once you pierce it, it's damaged tissue. This makes it even more difficult for a professional piercer to leave you with a great looking piercing when the area we have to work with is damaged by self inflicted attempts.

Listed in your phone book under "Body Piercing" or "Tattoo" A "Body Piercing Shop" or a "Body Piercing Studio" is a facility that is licensed by the local city or town businesslicensing department and inspected by the local health protection and inspection agency to provide the personal service of "body piercing". Licensing of these shops can only occur after the facility has passed it's health inspection, conducted by a health inspection officer. This health inspection assures the city licensing department that the facility will not pose a hazard to the health and safety of the residents or individuals receiving services from that business. Once the inspection has been passed the city or town will issue a "Business Licence" which must be posted for potential customers to see. These licenses must be renewed each year and posted for inspection by any and all potential customers. The licence can be pulled by the health department or the city or town should the facility fail to pass it's yearly or semiannual health inspection or if the city or town should receive complaints from the health unit or the general public in regards to the facility.These facilities must maintain records subject to inspection upon request of the health unit or city licencing inspectors.

Answer 7

You don't. You should always go somewhere to get it PROFESSIONALLY done. It's always best. If you do it yourself there's possibilities you can mess up and catch a infection.

Answer 8

Don't pierce your ears yourself. Go to a professional. It's probably cheaper than the kit.
