How to Pierce Your Own Ear

Steps

1. Ice your ear for about two minutes.
2. Sterilize the needle, your earring, and your ear with alcohol, or peroxide.
3. Get your needle (a safety pin works best because it hurts to push a sewing needle through your ear because it's slow and it makes your finger hurt) and push it through your ear.
4. Wait about 30 minutes before taking it out; you want to make a good hole. Ice your ear because it'll hurt taking it out.
5. Put the earring in the alcohol or hydrogen peroxide; take the needle out and put the earring in.
