ya while your at it pierce your nose, belly button, nipples and clit by yourself too. Don't worry about the needle being clean... what's the worst that could happen.
some girl at my school cut her clit off because she thought it was weird.. like she though it was a deformity of some shit and just snipped it off with scissors
I watched friends do it at a sleepover. yeah 8th grade was cool...
You have to sterilize the needle, have an anchor behind it, and numb the area-- Parent Trap style. Make sure it goes through straight. You're gonna hear it go through if you do it slow, it's the thicker part of your ear. And it's probably going to get infected.
And it's a hell of a lot easier to just go to the fucking mall.
I did mine with a sewing needle...that was stupid, cause then you have to take it out and punch a slightly bigger hole through for the earring. Get a pointed earring that they use in the piercing guns and just poke through. BAM, your done. = )
