No, it is not safe to play with any piercing. Playing with it excessively can cause irritation, infection, scarring, etc. You should never touch your piercing unless it is to clean it, and even then, make sure your hands are washed.

∙ 12y agoYes, it is. Too many people don't take piercings seriously. The only people who should pierce themselves are the pros. By piercings yourself, you're risking serious infection that can lead to death, disease contraction, and scar tissue that will prevent re-piercing. Cartilage is especially dangerous. If you do get an infection, the cartilage can collapse and stay that way permanently. The only way to sterilize any tools/needles is to use an autoclave. The only way to have the same environment as a pro is to sanitize EVERYTHING. The costs of the cleaning products would be more expensive than just going to a pro. Yes, people get away with piercing themselves but that's just pure luck. Piercing isn't some kind of game. Professionals have to get licenses and take classes to be adequate piercers. Don't jeopardize your health just to save a few bucks.
