It was pretty damn painful! I was panicking at the time as well because I didn't know what to do. I just hope this will show the potential dangers of self piercing, and ho they can be avoided.

Thanks a million.

Hey Laura. Yes it is always good practice to make sure all the equipment is as it should be. Here's a tip: when you go to a piercing studio to get pierced, always ask to see their autoclave. Every studio should have one for sterilising the equipment and jewelry.

Thanks very much for stopping by.

Hi Hanna,

Thats a great story about your days of piercing. it must of been painful. I only have an earing so i cannot really imagine what you went thru. great advice for the teenagers thinking off piercing the body parts.
I never had to do on my own, only proffessional advice.

Oh My Goodness. I never would have thought to check the forceps lining up right, I would have just assumed that they would!
Good reminder to be diligent with all of your equipment. And when I go to a shop to get a piercing (I don’t have the nerve to do it myself!), I will make sure I look around the place a bit and see that it is clean and using clean equipment.
I like the way you lay out your information here, it’s very easy to understand. : )

Thanks very much Pete.

Piercing that happen like that never turn out well! Always ends up with lots of pain and regret.

Cheap equipment really isn't up to the job.

Hi Hanna.

I definitely can relate in a similar way to your advice here in this post as I once had my left ear done in a tent at the Reading Festival.

After the piecing, my ear went septic, but I was too vain to take it out,- I could only sleep on my right ear against the pillow for years until I finally took it out.

Removing it was quite painful, but what a relief!

The top part of the ear is still damaged with a lump up there in the cartlidge area.

So, a lesson learned- not to get over excited and jump in quick in the spirit of the moment.

I agree, If you’re unsure what to buy, steer clear of the cheap ones and stick to quality steel forceps only.

Piercings look great when done properly & can be profesionally fitted with minimal pain at a nearby studio.

It wont cost that much and better safe than a botched D.I.Y job

I would say to anyone, get the job done with a pro gear instead of using disposable piercing forceps, for safety sake & to not cause damage to yourself.

Nice one,Hannah

All the very best

Pete.

Hey there. Glad you enjoyed my site! Sounds pretty damn nasty hat happened to your arm. I'm curious as to hat part of your arm you pierced. I'm assuming it was a surface piercing. Always a good idea to go to a professional, yes!

This is a cool website, good niche. In my younger days i thought it was a good idea to pierce my own arm which wasnt one of my best ideas! It got infected and started discharging yellow stuff. Ive had a lot of piercings since then and only go to proper registered places!
