How do you clean sewing needles for piercing?
Listen very carefully, you can not clean a needle properly to use it for piercing. You need and autoclave and that is an item you don't have access to. Research MRSA and read what it is and what it does, it is, and can be lethal with very few options for treatment. Leave body piercing to professional body piercers.

How do you put a lip ring back in if the hole is almost closed?
Either push it back in by yourself, or go back to the shop you got it done and have them re-pierce it. You should really evaluate if you want the piercing back in because once its closed, to re-pierce it they use a taper, which hurts a lot. I probably will never let anyone taper me again.

Body Piercing Guidelines or "I want a piercing, now what"
- All Body Piercing studios are regulated and work under regional and local health and city licensing regulations.
- Age limits can vary from city to city and state/province to state/province, contact your local body piercing studios (under the yellowpages "Body Piercing" ) they will tell you what the age limits are for your area.
- Identification is aways needed (Birth certificate, Student card, Drivers license) Parental consent is consent from the legal parents (Mother or Father). Grand parents, Sister, Brother, Second Cousin twice removed doesn't cut it sorry. Unless they are your legal guardians assigned by the courts and have documented proof or this, it just won't work.
- Prices for piercings vary from shop to shop and city to city. Be sure you phone and ask them what the total price is including any *aftercare solutions they may try to sell you (* Professional body piercing studios won't try to sell you aftercare solution, they will recommend cleansers and soaps but that's it if you want it they will sell it but they will not force you to buy it.)
- Do your research, check these places out and find a studio that you are comfortable with, talk to the piercer and discuss you wishes. If at any time you feel like you are being ignored or rushed leave, find somewhere else. Good shops will be busy, but they will also want you to book your appointment, this way they have there full attention on you not everyone else who is asking questions (that's a good thing).
How do you pierce your own virgina?
You don't, unless you want to lose it. That's a good way to get a very painful infection. If you want it pierced, get it done by a professional.
Some things need to be pointed out so you understand.
Male and Female exotic piercings come with some very real and serious side effects if they are done incorrectly, with the wrong materials, by someone who knows nothing about anatomy. Should you screw up, and 9 out of 10 times you will. You can render the penis impotent due to structural damage to the cavernosa, veins, nerves and the gland. Serious infections of the bladder, prostate and urethra can also be the result of ignorance of the body structures. Heavy bleeding (almost uncontrollable) can result from puncturing the wrong structures of the penis. Please note you have been warned. Jzuk
Ear gauges can indeed close. I have head several stories about peoples' ear gauges closing over time, some even being near size 00. Ear gauges can close over time if you don't wear a plug or tunnel in it. If the gauge is small, it will take less time for it to close, unlike BIG gauges - which could take around 2 months.
One secret is to rub hemerroid cream on your ears about twice a day first your ears will swell but later when your lobes go back to normal the holes will be smaller.
However, if your ears were gauged above a 00, they will never close entirely without surgery, which currently runs about $800 an ear.
How do you hide your piercing?
If its far back, its incredibly hard to notice, but if its near the tip you might not want to yawn lots or stick your tongue out. I got my done yesterday and my step-dad still hasn't noticed, even after I talked with him for half an hour.
How do you make ear piercings not hurt?
If it hurts it could be that they aren't healed enough yet. Everyone heals differently so its possible that you just heal very slowly. Try keeping jewelry in the piercings 24/7. If studs hurt, try rings or something flexible like bioplast.
What happens if you play with your belly button?
It may not be natural or normal. Some people think it's weird some people think there's nothing wrong with that. As far as I'm concerned it can't be worse than playing with your penis or your vagina. I think if you want to play with your belly button it's your own business. Some people think you should see a therapist if you play with your belly button but it's not true. The therapist will tell you that playing with your belly button can't be worse than masturbating or self-orgasm.
How do you pierce your own second piercings in your ear?
Leave the cartilage and any other body piercing to a professional piercer, the risk is too high and not worth the risk to your health.
This site is not geared to providing how to information that can lead to personal injury.
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.
How long does it take for a tongue ring to close up?
Depends on how long you had the piercing before removing the jewellery.
How do you make a fake nipple piercing?
To make a simple fake nipple piercing, you need to obtain a nipple ring and bend the ring with pliers so that the ring looks like a U shape which you can then apply to your nipple and adjust to your own needs.
How do you put in your lip ring?
Well , if you want to put in the labret
What you do is you Take off the little ball or stud at the end and set it aside , then pull your lip forward and put the screw part through your hole from the inside.
If you haven't got the right gauge what i did was i put the screw part from the outside and the stud from the inside to break the skin , then it was perfect
Happy Piercing

When can you change your lip ring?
I personally just got my lip pierced on July 23 and i changed it the 5th day because i got a job that didnt allow it and i have changed it several times since then. so honestly in my opinion it doesnt really matter (:
How do you make your dimples deeper without piercing them?
Okay, so I always had dimples but they were barely visible. I used to take the end of a q-tip and hold it on my "dimple" for awhile. That did help, but you have to put time and effort into it because it doesn't just happen overnight, you need to realize that.
Now, I take the end of a small paintbrush and hold it on my "dimple" for awhile (As long as you want) and I noticed that it leaves a mark and makes the area a little red......so if you were to do that I would do it before bed or at a time where you wont be going out anytime soon.
That did help, but as im trying to say is that i had somekind of dimple before, so i "enhanced it" you can say. I also dont want to put into your head that it is an overnight thing and that it will work if you dont have dimples......im not a doctor or any one that can tell you that.....
Another way is to get cheek piercings which will permenently create a dimple......but there are pros and cons..you can also remove the dimples a few weeks after the initial piercing for the dimple.
Pros:
You will have the dimple you want
It will be there forever
Cons:
You pay alot of money for something that you will eventually take out
You will go through pain
You will also have an indintation that may look unatural
You can also get plastic surgery OR you can get a surgical proceeder that will create the dimple. Im sure you can look that up on the internet like How to get a dimple or surgery for a dimple, somthing like that..
Hope I helped!

How do you convince your parents to let you get a industrial piercing if you are underage?
tell them that Arabs get ear piercings done as soon as the baby girl is born!! this is a fact by the way.
Hi!
Maybe you should ask when you mum got her ears pierced , if she did it young use that in your argument. Ask your parents when they think it will be a good time to get your ears pierced, my parents kept putting the age limit up so make them write it on a piece of paper or something, i know it sounds silly, but it works!!
It sorta depends how old you are at the moment though.
hope this helps:)
Does getting your scaffold pierced hurt?
A little bit, but not a lot. It hurts a little more than your average because its 2 piercings in one.
My piercer but the needle in the top bit, and that was fine, just a little pin prick is what it felt like - but then after a couple of seconds your ear starts to feel really warm like hot. And then he pierces the second part which hurt a tad bit more - but all totally bearable.
He then but the barbell in, and that didnt hurt, but was kinda uncomfortable because my ear felt like it was on fire at this point.
Overall like 4/4.5 out of 10. Totally worth it cause it looks awesome.

*Make sure you keep it clean though! I used savlon B-) & also warm salt water - i didn't want to risk infection. And it takes quite a while to heal but not forever long.
Try not to sleep on it, and if you've got long hair try not to get it snaggled up in the barbell at the top. Also, as obvious as it is, be weary of banging it because that DOES hurt. Alot. And it will also delay healing process massively.
Infections are prone if you keep on touching it so don't, and always keep on top of cleaning it - even if you've passed the 2 month mark. It'll will take longer than that to heal fully.
Hope this helps :)
Does it hurt?
Well all piercings involve some discomfort an minor split second pain. It comes down to your mind set, if you really want the piercing pain is not an option and should not deter you from getting what you want. Mind over matter, if you don't mind the pain doesn't matter.

Does it hurt to get your cartlidge peirced?
I got my cartilage pierced when I was 12. And it honestly did hurt a little bit. Compared getting your nose pierced it hurts 10 times worse. I got my nose pierced for my 16th birthday and it didn't hurt at all. All you feel when you get your nose pierced is some pressure.

Places like Walmart usually offer piercing for 9.99 with the purchase of a set of earrings. That being said, never get your ears pierced at a location that uses a gun to pierce your ears. The gun can not be properly sterilized after use due to plastic parts greatly increasing your chances of infection.
