Safe Luxury

Is piercing at home safe to do?

I want to pierce my nipple but I don't know if it's safe to do myself. I've never pierced anything before.. but my nipples look like fun.

1. piercing an ear/nose is good but tongues, nipples are more harmful and sensitice area, get it from the pros
2. you could prob do it wit da rite tools but I think it would a lot safer to go to a place to do it just incase cuz getting infected there could hurt like hell so yea
3. No it is not safe it can get infected and it will hurt very bad and you would probably need to see a doctor. the skin around the nipple is very sensitive that is why you need to take proper precaution.
4. no .
5. Obviously, it's not. First, you don't have sterile equipment. Even if you buy stuff online that comes in plastic, it is NOT CLEAN AND STERILIZED. You need auto-clave. Second, the nipples are very sensitive and painful, and how would you go about piercing them? It's not like your ears. Go to a professional that would do it right, and would limit the chance of infections and a trip to the hospital. Grow up.
6. You don't want to hit a nerve or have it get infected or spilt. Go to a professional and get a job that is done well. It's worth the extra money so you don't have to go to the doctor and try to get it fixed.
7. There is a reason people have to get certified to be piercers. Doing it at home is a very bad idea. I've gotten my nipples pierced before by a professional and it will hurt and it's very difficult to do. You may flinch or pierce it too shallow so it will get infected, reject itself, and cause a lot of pain. And you don't have sterile equipment so infection is very likely.
