Getting Piercings

I already got 2 piercings in my ear when I was a kid and I decided to get another so that I'd have 4. But after 3 weeks, I removed the earring in my new piercings and I didn't expect that the hole would quickly close back.. and it hurts when I try to put the earring on it   1 reply

I believe hand sanitizer would be okay, but it's not advisable to pierce at home as infection is possible. Wear gloves or at least make sure your hands are clean when doing this. If it's not your ears you're piercing I recommend not doing it at all. When I was in HS 3 girls pierced their belly buttons and all 3 got hellacious infections from it.   1 reply

Its not advised to pierce your ears if you have no experience because of ear infections but yeah using hand sanitizer should be okay. Rubbing alcohol is easier but honestly anything to disinfect ears works.   2 reply
