To Pierce My Own Ears

[Lazypeopledrivemecrazy]

Hi there

Posting here for traffic, as I'd like to know if anyone has used one of the DIY ear piercing kits, available from Amazon and other places, and if so, how easy was it to do, and was it painful? Also, were the earrings provided of decent quality?

I'm not thinking of doing it this way to save money, although obviously that would be a bonus, but because most places want you to make an appointment, and due to an unpredictable health condition, all too often I am forced to cancel at the last minute, which is really annoying both for me, and the person that I've inconvenienced. So I figured if this is something I can easily do myself, it might be a way of getting around the problem.

I should perhaps say that I actually had my ears pierced at 16, and wore earrings most of the time, up until about 6 years ago, when again, due to health problems unrelated to my ears, I stopped wearing them. Then when I was finally able to try again, I found that the holes had healed up, and try as I might, I just can't get an earring through these days. So I now find myself with loads of earrings, which unless I can get my ears pierced again, will just have to continue sitting in a drawer.

Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated.

Yeah I used the diy kit from Amazon to repierce. Had no problems at all.

Most tattoo shops will pierce on the day you go in. If you call ahead they will usually tell you what times or days they have a piercer available. Only usually need to make appts in school holidays or at weekends

I've used them on more than one occasion with no issues but some people who use them don't have the same luck.

It's entirely up to you and yes it's better to have them done professionally, but if you do decide to go ahead just make sure you follow the instructions properly and follow good aftercare 😊

I second this as is what I did recently
