What can you use to pierce your own lip?

Answer 1

Nothing, go to a professional. If you cannot answer this question for yourself off the top of your head you don't need to be piercing yourself and if you do you risk serious injury, ailment and possible death.

Answer 2

Wikianswers is not a venue to provide how to information that can lead to serious personal injury. Consult a professional body piercer for your request.

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 3

Piercing yourself is a lot if responsible.I would say maybe using a hollow needle that Is either 14g or 16g. I pierce myself all the time and I would say just be careful and know what your doing.
