Lobe Piercing

Alright, I already put the earring in, its just stinging but im guessing thats normal…right?

I did that a couple times too! just leave it for the 24 hours and then put the earing in, you should be fine!

doggyland - why isn’t it ok to use a safety pin? Get serious and use your brain! A safety pin ISN’T meant to be used for a piercings! They have PIERCING NEEDLES and PROFESSIONAL PIERCERS for a reason.

thanks for answering the question… NOT! and ps. its perfectly fine for people to use safety pins cause mine is the way I like it… and I didnt have to waste moola on getting a pro to pierce my lobe. anyone wanting to pierce their lobe with a safety pin… just sterlize it first and you should be JUST fine :)

Why isn’t it ok to use a safety pin instead of a normal needle for piercing? Is there a greater risk of infection?

That was probably the dumbest thing you could have done. You DON’T pierce ANYTHING yourself. Piercings are meant to be done PROFESSIONALLY. Why? Because a professional actually knows what they’re doing. Anytime you do a piercing yourself, you run a VERY high risk of infections, plus you probably didn’t even do it right. Take the earring out ASAP. You might get infection, and if that happens, you may need to see a doctor (but of course that’s what you get for doing a piercing yourself! Hopefully you’ll actually learn from this idiotic move and never do something like this again). Wait for the hole to clear up and be 100% healed and then have it re-pierced BY A PROFESSIONAL.
