What are piercing you can do yourself?

Answer 1

No piercing is to be self done, the risks of infection and more over infection by MRSA is way too high. Professional body piercers are trained to take the proper measures to ensure you come out of your piercing safely.

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 for 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.

Answer 2

Manufactured by individuals who could care less about your health and safety, produced to make a fast buck off of people who think they can do it them selves. Bottom line more accidents occur each year by people piercing themselves with these kits and loading down our health care system due to acts of wreckless negligence. Seriously leave the piercing to a professional who is trained and experienced to provide you with the proper piercing and jewellery as well as a experience you will remember for all the right reasons down the road.
