I did the other piercings that you see in my ears a few weeks ago, the day after Christmas. They healed well and I've already switched out the earrings to the smaller ones you see in this video. The reason I re-pierced my ears is because my original holes had stretched out over time from wearing heavy earrings, and they looked awful, like long slits. Studs would actually go right through them and many of my earrings began to hang oddly on my ears. 😁😘 So now I have a new piercing in front of, and behind my orginal holes. 😘 If you screenshot at the beginning of the video when I turn my head to the side, and zoom in, you can see my original holes that look like slits. 🤪😘
Same My parents pierce me and my little sis ears with a hot needle We were really young (barely 5 lol). We got 2 pierces in both ears (I didn't even know I have 2 lol I just learnt recently) Now I'm almost 18, and I only have 2 left because the other 2 closed, same goes to my lil, sis Now I wanted to get piercing on like the top of the ears and like the inside? I don't know what to call it lol
😂😂 similar experience...I was probably a few months old when my mom took me to an old Indian woman who used a hot needle...lawd I still cringe jus @ the thought 😂
Exactly. I trust myself to sanitize and sterilize better than the girl working at Claire’s or Walmart. 😂 My 16 yr old daughter even knew to clean her ears with alcohol before piercing and hers healed just fine. She’s already switched out her earrings. ❤️😘
@@DragonGaming73 My niece had hers professionally done. My mom had to take her to the emergency room to remove it because her skin grew over her earring back. Yet here I am, 4 new earrings with no issues. Honestly, I think it has more to do with how you take care of them AFTER they’ve been pierced, than how you get them pierced.
Lol I went to Claire’s the other day. The back of one of my holes had closed up so asked if she can pierce it for me. On the website it says free piercing. She asked me to choose a stud so I said it will need to be gold as I have a Nickle allergy and quoted me £50 when I asked if I need to pay. I said I have my own earrings, she said sorry you still have to buy an earring and we can’t give a discount if just paying for one. Anyways I got home and used a little bit of force to get the hole opened back up 😂 never taking my earrings out again but if I do now I know I can purchase this little device 😊
@JeniferJenkinsBeauty You know who you should trust the most here? A professional piercer. Period. Hands down. These gun/trigger type things are SO bad. You're basically creating minor blunt force trauma to force an earring through - as opposed to a sterile hollow needle. Pleaseeee please do the proper research, especially before sharing something like this; encouraging people to make unsafe/uneducated decisions is never the vibe ✌️ The correct information regarding piercing with a needle vs. these things and why these are so bad is very easy to find...so hey, go learn something new!
Wow. It didn't hurt at all. Thank you so much for this video. For two days I was not brave enough to do it. After watching your video I have realized that numbing with the ice was the key. Genius!
I am so happy I stumbled upon this! Instead of having to get three holes re-done elsewhere and have to pay, I just did it myself at home. Easy process! Thanks for sharing the link!
Another thing I do regardless of pro or self piercing is.... I wash my pillowcases with a little bleach and double rinse. I was afraid to machine wash my neck pillow but i hand washed it in the sink and rinsed it to death too😂 My point is, those pillows are coming into close contact with your earrings so they need to be clean.
😳…I couldn’t do it. My mom and her sister pierced each others ears. We’re talking the sixties though. I’m sure this is better than what they had to do.
@@jatiyacarollenaI just did it last night! I've been watching videos of people doing them and that really helped me. They say "it's all in your head" and that's actually true 😅. Just make sure the pointy bit is going to go through to where you marked it, hold it straight, and COMMIT. And if you screw up, it's okay. I was terrified of screwing it up but it didn't hurt to take it out immediately and re-do it with a fresh kit. The hole is tiiiiiiiiiiiiny and will close up and heal with no issues normally. Just make sure you have and keep everything sanitised and be diligent with the aftercare. You so got this!! 💖
I made sure to sanitize well and alcohol the area before I pierced, but unfortunately this video could only be 60 seconds long, so I pinned that info to the top of this comment section with the link. 😊 But yes!!! My holes were not only crooked, they had stretched out so badly over time from wearing heavy earrings that it just looked awful, and my earrings would hang oddly sometimes. So that’s why I decided to re-pierce them slightly in from of my original holes. I was worried it would look odd closer to the front of my earlobes, but it’s ever so slightly closer and I think it looks great! ❤️😘
Haha, I have a surgical marker. I have always wondered what to use it for! There is a product called Hibiclense that is like 15$ at Target. My son’s doctor told him to use it before knee surgery. I would cleanse my ear with that for a few days before piercing.
I will be doing this tomorrow for my ear stack. Thanks girl. Also didn’t you already have your ears pierced where you showed it here? I may be confused lol😘
My original earholes are really long, they just stretched out over time from wearing heavy earrings. They look like slits. Studs will go right through them. 😂 The day after Christmas I pieced above my original holes (the ones you see already there in this video) but it looked funny when I tried to put bigger earrings in them, like hoops. They were too high up. So in this video I decided to pierce on the other side of my original holes, closer to my face. My original holes are still there between the two piercings you see in this video. Now I just have a ton of holes on each side. Lol! Hopefully people will notice my earrings and not all the holes. Lol! Also, I'm telling you, if you ice really well, you won't even feel the needle. You'll feel pressure from the squeeze, but you won't feel the needle at all. Well, I didn't. And makes sure to alcohol really well also. ❤️😘
Also, if you screenshot at the beginning when I turn my head to the side, you can zoom in and see my long slits between the mark I made on my ear and the other piercing. I was worried the new piercing would look too close to the front, but I actually think they look great! 🥳😘
@@JeniferJenkinsBeauty Ah gotcha! Thanks so much for sharing! I will definitely sanitize. All these comments regarding that are kind of funny. It’s not difficult to do things properly and clean.🤷♀️😂
@@HollyL56 No kidding! I’m like, I trust MYSELF to sanitize better than a little girl working at Claire’s. 😂 My daughter’s even healed fine and she did hers herself…AND she has sensitive ears. She’s already even switched out her earrings! 🤪😘
Hi Jen - what do you like to do for aftercare? My daughters had ears pierced at Claire’s a couple months ago (honestly wish I had done something like this myself bc it looks exactly like what they do at Claire’s). I tried a lot of different things, but it seems like daily cleaning with saline solution is the best, and also soft backs for their earrings (until the holes are completely healed/established).
I just clean them with alcohol on a q-tip for a few days. Surprisingly, the ones I did yesterday aren’t even sore whatsoever. I actually took them out this morning, swabbed them with alcohol and them put them right back in.😊 The ones you already see in this video, I did the day after Christmas, and those were actually sore for about 5 days. Maybe the ear is a tad more tender the further you go up or something, but they healed just fine with no issues. ❤️🌺
Yes it’s easy but not good to do it yourself! But you go ahead if your fine with keloids, infections, wrong placement and popping a blood vessel in your ear 😊
None of those things happened to either me or my daughter. We did ours the same day and it took us about 3 minutes. However my niece got hers professionally done and one of her ears developed an infection. Go figure.
@@JeniferJenkinsBeauty just saying you may have gotten lucky but this is unprofessional and you should go get it done by a piercer! I bet ur niece went to Claire’s which by the way does not count as professional
To Everyone saying don’t do it, ive gotten my ears and nose pierced with a Gun by pros and then my upper ear done by myself like this-never gotten an infection or anything. Don’t deny before you try! ❤
I've had lobe piercings done with a gun, and they were mostly fine, but I still did enough research to know why it's a bad method with way more complications compared to using a needle. In a pinch, I'd say ok use it for your ear lobes if you have thin earlobes anyway, and don't care about having a reaction to base-metals in cheap jewelry, but definitely no-where else on the body.
Great video, but the camera needs to be closer. It's hard to tell where is the best place to pierce. Also, how do you clean and treat the ears after piercing the lobes?
In the 60's my grandma pierced my ears with a potato in back of my ear then I'm guessing some sort of needle. Then I had a piece of string through the hole that I was told to move back & forth whenever I thought about it. It was painful, but that's how all the girls in my school got their ears done. 😭
If youre gonna use these, use them once because they can never be properly sterilized after use, and use them only on your lobes since theyre the easiest to pierce. But you should definitely look into a professional piercer to reduce risk of infection or issues
Thank you for your comment. They actually each come in a sterilized sealed package, and they can only be used once. They’re designed to actually break apart after the first use. That’s how you know you’ve pierced your ear properly. And it was virtually painless.❤️😊
My parents pierce me and my little sis ears with a hot needle We were really young (barely 5 lol). We got 2 pierces in each side of the ears (I didn't even know I have 2 lol I just learnt recently) Now I'm almost 18, and I only have 2 left because the other 2 closed, same goes to my lil, sis Now I wanted to get piercing on like the top of the ears and like the inside? I don't know what to call it lol
@@joannepigliavento7930 I think people just worry about infection. I make sure to sanitize well and alcohol the area. I did the other piercings a few weeks ago. They healed just fine, I've even already switched out the earrings. I've also tattooed my own eyebrows. I actually touched them up last week. You just have to be smart when you do things like this. 😘
@@JeniferJenkinsBeauty its more because this aint piercing, but shooting a piercing. its done by pushing the piercing through the skin with sheer force which can cause tissue trauma and narbed skin. where as a needle actually pierces the skin which is way more smooth and allows a way better blood flow. infections do appear more often when using a gun too, yeah
From the what it’s worth dept… I had my ears pierced in a dr’s office when I was 8 yr old and they were infected for a year. I had friends who had them done at home and they never got infected. So dr. Office or piercer no guarantee that it won’t get infected.
If you screenshot at the beginning when I turn to the side, and zoom in, you can see where my original ear holes were. They look like long slits. They had stretched out over time from wearing heavy earrings. I marked my ears right in front of them. So now I have 2 new piercings with my old ones in the middle. The other earrings that you see are the piercings I did the day after Christmas. 😁😘
Please please please do not do this . Piercing guns cause damage and trauma . Also do NOT numb your ear, it causes the blood flow to slow in the region and can cause rejection and even more trauma
