Answer 1

Wikianswers is not a venue to provide how to information that can lead to serious personal injury.

They sterilize their tools, they clean your lip with an anti-microbial mouthwash and make you hold it inside for up to a minute, while the clean the outside with green soap and rubbing alcohol or green soap and Iodine. They then take the freshly sterilized tools and the single use sterile needle and lay them out in front of you. They will run over the procedure with you and what you can expect as far as pain and healing. They then mark your lip and ask you to make sure the placement is correct, some times they will shine a like through your lip and to check for big nerves and big veins but I would venture a guess that around 90% of people or more don't have any need to worry about this. After you verify that where they marked your lip is where you want it pierced the take the clamps they just sterilized and center the dot in the hole in the clamps. Some places will count you down, others will just have you breathe, but no matter what they wait for you to be relaxed and unready for the piercing, they then slide the needle through really quickly, then they insert the freshly sterilized jewelry, they run over after care with you and then you're on your way. Also, for anyone who reads this and says "I can sterilize stuff with alcohol" NO! you cannot, you must AUTOCLAVE the tools according to manufacturers specifications in order to sterilize them otherwise HIV and Hepatitus could survive on the tools (even if they are BRAND new) and infect you.

Answer 2

Body piercing is not a hobby, it is a serious procedure that can if done and treated incorrectly cause serious injury and infection requiring medical attention. Pierce it your self kits are irresponsible and dangerous. Please seek the advice and assistance of a trained professional body piercer for all your body piercing requests. What you need to pierce your own belly button is a phone book and some common sense, book an appointment with a professional body piercer.
