Back In The Day we *all* pierced our ears with safety pins ācause it was ātrashyā to have more than one hole so it was DIY or nothing. Nobody lost a head. š

THANK YOU Elizabeth. I was trying to point out something similar a few weeks ago on a different post (about a roadside tattoo artist in Nepal) and got yelled at by several people. Not to minimize the threat of HIV, hepatitis, or MRSA (or assorted other nasties), but for most other bugs we do have something called an immune system.

I agree with #30, I pierced my nostril, and lobesā¦ a few times, with safety pins that I filed to a sharper point, disinfected then as much as possible with what I had (the moms a nurse yay) and guess what
NO HEP FOR ME! WOOT WOOT!
oh and p.s. piercing DIY with a safety pin canāt be that much worse than our grandmothers piercings their own ears with god knows what, and healing them with craptasticly cheap costume jewelry.

I remember my mom telling me about her piercing experience-a needle (non-hollowed), piece of straw and chunk of apple. That was in the 60ā²s and just for lobes.

When I was 11 or 12 I pierced my eyebrow with a sewing needle and rammed a safety pin into it. I knew nothing about piercing and just really wanted an eyebrow ring. It ended up getting horribly infected and almost rotting out of my face. I still have a pretty nasty scar from the huge puss bubble that I ended up with. Iāve learned a lot since and I now buy sterilized hollow needles right from BME shop when I have to poke a new hole. š
