just flame sterilize a needle then wipe w/ isopropyl alcohol then push on through and put a sterilized earring in? does this sound good? i don't want to pay a professional to do this if it can be done myself. also, what kind of cleaning regimen should i undertake and for how long? what are the kinds of rules they tell you about caring for the ear until the ring can be taken out w/ no problems?
oooooooooooooooooooooooh yeah

Just stab it through and rinse it with a sea-salt water solution a couple of times a day. I'm sure you'll survive. If not ... well, the rest of us will have learned a valuable lesson. =)

what type of needle are you using? what type of jewelry are you planning on putting in?
If you want to do this yourself, and you want a good,quality piercing, can I suggest that you buy sterilized needles from bmezine.com and sterilized jewelry from tribaletic.com?
but, if you are planning on using a 20 gauge stud or something, I would suggest not even using a sewing needle and push the stud through your ear. I did both of my ears that way when I was 13. I have successfully stretched both piercings to 3/4".

It usually costs less than $10 to have your ear professionally pierced. Why don't you pay to have somebody experienced do it?

when i was 12, i flame sterilized a sewing needle and had a friend do it up. didnt hurt much & ive nevr had an infection. make sure you arent using a cheap earring.
i just bought piercing forceps today actually. i have plenty sterile syringe needles from the hobby... ..so when im board enough ima put some more holes in my flesh.
