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 of 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.

yes. she also has double piercing in her ear lobes, double pierced cartilage in her left ear, nose piercing (right).
both her ears are pierced on her ear lobes of course
Clean it for 7-10 days and if that doesn't work go see a doctor
infection Tis a stupid idea. Dont do it. The only thing you should even consider piercing yourself is your ear lobes
To put spacers in your ear lobes, first make sure your ears are clean and disinfected. Next, gently stretch your ear by slowly inserting a spacer or taper into the piercing until comfortable. It is important to be patient and not force the spacer in, as this can cause damage to your ear lobes.
Nope! They only do ear piercings on the lobes and cartilage's. Nothing that requires a actually needle. Just things that they can use those disposable guns on.
Whether rounded ear lobes are dominant or recessive depends on the specific genetic variant involved. In general, it is believed that free (unattached) ear lobes are dominant over attached ear lobes. This means that if one parent has free ear lobes and the other parent has attached ear lobes, their offspring are more likely to have free ear lobes.
By most health regulations Claire's is only allowed to pierce ear lobes (that is if they were licensed and inspected to do piercing, they are not) these regulations were put into place to protect the public from harm because the ear piercing gun is not designed nor intended to be used on anything other than the ear lobe.
Yes, they are very good at ear piercing. I highly recommend them. I just had my ears pierced there in February 2010 and they did a great job! They were super friendly and it was literally pain-free. They tell you what they are going to do, how they're going to do it, and when. They are super nice and very professional! However, Claire's pierce ears with a piercing gun (a machine which pushes a sharpened stud through the ear) which can be perfectly fine for ear lobes but is not designed for use on ear cartilage. So if you're looking for something more complex than an ear lobe piercing at standard gauge, then please find a reputable local piercer.

No, I was 13 years old ;)
Yes, ear lobes can shrink over time due to factors such as weight loss or aging. Piercings in the ear lobes can also contribute to stretching and potentially reducing the size of the lobes. If you notice significant changes in your ear lobes, it's recommended to consult a healthcare professional for advice.
