The OP is terrible advice. Next they're going to tell you to get wasted before getting a tattoo because then you won't feel so much pain.

Haha, and watch the blood pour uncontrollably from the wound?

It's okay....THE BLOOD IS STERILE FROM THE ALCOHOL.

Until passing out and even potentially bleeding out, yes, it's infallible I swear, I've done it every time I've gone to get a tattoo!

don't use a safety pin it's the wrong kind of metal. Use a needle. or even a sharp earing.

  steralize everything with rubbing alcohol. Ice it numb. then mark the spot you want it. then shove it thru and pierce it.

---

  Rubbing alcohol does not sterilize metal.

---

  well then i guess she shouldnt fucking use rubbing alcohol.

  Steralize it in boiling water

---

Boiling water isn't good enough. There are plenty of kinds of harmful bacteria (you could probably find half of them in your home) which can survive boiling water.

 fuck all of you. i've pierced my ear myself 8 or more times. never once has it gotten infected. and i used rubbing alcohol

---

You don't even know how many times? Did you have to end up taking it out that often?
That just goes to show how successful your attempts were.

I grew up in a tattoo shop. I learned, from one of the top piercers in my state, all about piercing. I guarantee, I know much more than you. And I can tell you right now, rubbing alcohol is not a sterilization tool for needles or jewelry. That is why you will never see a reputable piercer using alcohol pads to sterilize their jewelry or needles. And if you ever do, you should immediately report them to health officials so that they can be shut down, because they are probably going to spread something to their clients.

---

There you people go again. Making bullshit annoying comments without knowing the full story. Sad how quick people are to judge and assume.

The only reason i've taken out earrings and let piercings heal is because i decided i wanted more and didn't like the originals position. I have 6 right now that i've done myself. and their all doing well. all have healed perfectly. no infections.

All general statements are untrue.
