How do you pierce your own nose?

How did you pierce your nose by yourself b/c I wanted to do it by myself well have a friend do it for me and I want to know how. Thanx.

I've pierced my nose countless times.
the first couple were just with a safety pin, but I wouldn't recomend it.
recently my friend did it with a thumb tack, and immidiatley put in the actual nose ring.
just make sure everything is sterile and you keep it really clean.

eek!
I wouldn't mess with piercing your nose, there are tons of nerves in there and you can lose your sense of smell, damage nerves and tissue, or worse you can hit your cartilage and get a sick infection. I'd stick with going to a professional!

Go get it done professionally. The nose is the most dirtiest place and any infection in the nose caused by a piercing done incorrectly can travel up to the brain and cause a stroke... don't risk doing it yourself, no matter what others may say.

I pierced my own nose and it was fine you just make sure you do your research first

good luck

[edit] StepsRead this article in it's entirety before beginning.
Examine your nose. Do you have any blackheads? Zits? Pimples? If so, wait a few days, or weeks, and wash your face regularly. These may lead to infection if you pierce right over, or very near, to a blemish.
Grab an earring with a very small stud. It has to be really small to start with, but if you don't have one, get a nose ring, and just use the smallest stud you have, and maybe after three or four days, you can change it to the nose ring.
Get your nail file and start sharpening that earring! This will be extremely painful if the earring is not extremely sharp.
Mark your nose where you want the stud to go. Look in the mirror. Does it look right? Or is it too low, or too high? Move the mark until you are content with it.
Clean your face one more time.
Clean the earring VERY carefully. Leaving it in solution for a few hours, or longer, normally will do the trick, and wash it.
Take a deep breath, put the tip of the earring on the mark, at a slanted angle, of course, and push. This will hurt, a lot, but just bite down on something.
Congratulations! Wash it two times a day, and leave this particular stud in for about six weeks before changing it out with something else.

[edit] TipsIt's highly recommended that you mark it, then look at it in the mirror to see if you really like it or not.
If you think you may have an infection at ANY point, remove the stud immediately, wash your face, and watch it. If it continues to worsen, go to a doctor.
Your nose will be red and sore for a while after, that's normal.

[edit] WarningsPlease be very careful! Don't pierce ANYTHING with a safety pin or sewing needle.. Those are way too sharp to pierce the skin with, and they make the piercing more prone to infection.

[edit] Things You'll Needvery small stud earring that may closely resemble a nose stud
strong nail file
sea salt/ear care (NO hydrogen or alcohol)

you take a staril needle and you sanatize it in alchol for like 24 hours and then u (well this is what I did) numb your nose with ice and poke it right through. well I have a tollerence for pain. or anotherway you can do it is you get in the shower, let your face run under hot water then while your in the shower stick then sanatized needle right through.( the hot water softens your skin.

I did that. I am 20 and I let my 16 yr old cousin do it for me. She used a safety pin. Dumbest mistake I EVER made.. I urge you to save up the $50 and go get it done by a licensed piercer. They are very clean if you go to a reputable one.
It is not safe to do it yourself. I have an ugly scar from it because I took it out, and since it wasn't done right. It healed wrong. So please just go get it done. If you get an infection from not being sterile enough. It will cost you more than $50 to get it cleared up.

Lol;
My mate tried piercing my other mates nose at my sleepoverr
She cooled her nose with an ice pack out my freezer,,
then she steralised a needle with a lighter,
but she only got it through a little bit
'cause my other mate was in a lot of pain

Do it in a shop professionally and the pain will be over in seconds,
and they are expierienced and know what they are doing.

if you must do it yourself I advise going to a beauty supply shop and purchasing a piercing gun and small studs. this way you know it is already sterile and don't have to worry about infection from that. make sure the stud is in an unopened package before purchasing! clean the area with the cleaning strips provided and use the marker that is also provided with the kit. then put the gun over your mark, squeeze the trigger and you are done!
if you are not comfortable doing this yourself (and it's fairly simple and very quick) go to your local piercer.
