Is it a good idea to pierce your nose at home?

Answer 1

yeah, as long as you sterilize the needle. and you have to use a hollow needle when you pierce cartilage or it wont heal. but you can buy them at a tattoo place or online and you have to be 18 or they wont sell them to you.

Answer 2

It is not a recommended way to do your piercing. No earring is made to do so. It could be harmful and may cause severe infection too.

But, if you still want to do it make sure you get an earring with a small stud, sharpen it with a nail file (not too much though), and most importantly disinfect it using alcohol.

You can use ice cubes to numb the area and reduce pain.

Answer 3

Body Piercing is not a hobby or recreational activity, it is a serious procedure that if done incorrectly can cause lasting long term damage to the body. Body Piercing is a service provided by trained and qualified professionals in a controlled environment using only sterilized materials and bio-compatible body jewellery designed for specific piercings.

Answer 4

If you do it at home your are more likely to get an infection. Having a professional do it is healthier plus if something goes wrong you have someone to sue.
