DIY Body Piercing

if yah wanna see some wild shit bout peircings and whatnot, checkout BME: Body Modification Ezine - The Biggest and Best Tattoo, Piercing and Body Modification Site Since 1994
it'll also give you any info you'll ever need to know about peircings and other types of body mods. the only peircings I ever did with a saftey pin were my nipples and what I did was peirce them with a standard large saftey pin then followed it through with a regular ear peircing stud and then slowely streched up to a strard size 14ga. about one size every few weeks until I got to a normal size. now I use sterile needles and it's much easier. often if you walk into a "mom and pop" peircing shop thye'll sell you a needle for a few bucks. that's the best way to go.

The reason for piercing through cartilage rather than in the "sweet spot" is so that if you gauge the piercing it won't deform your nose as much. I have been piercing for 7 years, and most people want it in the sweet spot, mine is in the cartilage however, and I had it gauged to a 2, without leaving my nose all hookbilled.

Don't go through the cartilage! there's a pice of skin between the cartilage & the bumpy base bit. that's where ya want to do it!

I have snakebites, and the first time I got my lip pierced, I let my friend do it. I'm pretty sure theres no bad spots to watch out for.. And, I'm a certified piercer, I had to take classes and stuff. But, it never said anywhere in any of the classes anything about sensitive nerves in the lips. Mostly just in the tongue and belly button.

all this piercing stuff freaks me out. I have my septum done, and I think the guy used a hollow needle. is that how it's normally done? my friend watched it go through and she said she didn't see a piece of my nose tissue come out or anything. I always wondered about that.

yes, a piece of flesh is removed with hollow needles to prevent ripping like other needles do like sewing needles and safety pins. no, you dont normally see the skin fall out or anything;)
but yes, hollow needles are professional.

I had the one side of my lip done a few times because the "pros" fucked it up. it's been jabbed a total of 5 times until it was done right. yay for a nasty scar! but, even though it was poked in various spots i had no problems w/ nerves or veins.

it was finally done right by some non-pro random dude in boston. thankfully.

note - don't get pierced at the shop across from Wayward in G'ville. assholes. i already had one side of my lip done and wanted the matching snake bite thing and the dick refused to place it symmetrically because he felt the first one I had was too high up. why would I want snakebites that don't match? jackass!


oh, and a septum isn't painful to get pierced... it's the healing that sucks.

I am very surprised as to how uneducated some of these posts are. I am completely dumbfounded at the amount of incorrect statements on this page alone. I do not have the time to correct every false statement on this page. If you are planning on piercing yourself or having your friend pierce you, I highly suggest against it. In the long wrong it will save you a lot of time, patience, pain, and money to get it professionally done. The bottom line is in-home piercing (and tattooing) is disgusting. Body piercing is a skill that takes years to master.

You must take care of your body, after all it's the only thing you truly have...

I am against what stewart said here, in my eyes, every body mod should be made by yourself or a friend, if you do it professionaly not ony you will spend money on it but it won't be accompaniedby a pleasant, rewarding memory either, proffessional body mod is boring and expensive and if you want something that cannot be done by either yourself or a friend, think about it, i reckon you're going too far.

I had a frenum pierceing myself with a sewing machine needle, it's thicker and and it's thickness is somewhat progressive like an expader, it's more painfull but after that it's easy to insert your barbell
