Simply put MRSA is a antibiotic resistant bacteria that can send you to the hospital and has the potential to kill. You don't have the knowledge or training let alone the correct materials to do the piercing safely. Leave body piercing to trained professionals.

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.

This is not a good decision at all to get pierced by oneself. It really requires some special skills or techniques to pierce your body. The major problem that can occur by doing so would be as follows:

  • Infections: The piercing instruments, as well as hands, need to be properly clean or sanitized before use. A little mistake can cause major infections.

  • Inflammation or nerve damage: As I've mentioned before that piercing requires some special skills and techniques so if you pierce your eyebrow by yourself then the situation of inflammation or nerve damage may occur.

  • Prolonged bleeding: By using the wrong technique you might have to face the prolonged bleeding.

There can be some other issues also so I must suggest you to visit a piercer to have any kind of piercing and take proper aftercare of that to avoid the troubles related to the piercing.

Can you pierce your eyebrow with an earring?

If you're talking about piercing your own eyebrow with an earring, then probably not. It's not sharp enough to pierce the skin. You need a sterilized needle. However, it's not recommended to give yourself piercings on your own unless you are a professional. Infection is more likely and so is the chance of screwing up. If you're asking about putting in an earring into where you've had your eyebrow pierced (instead of a different form of body jewelery) than it's not too hard as long as it's big enough. Just make sure you clean it before taking it from one piercing to the next.

Leave the piercing to the professionals.
