natalie04 answered Monday September 13 2004, 10:59 pm: hey! i've pierced my own cartilage. all you do is you need an earing that is meant for piercing because they are sharper, than you soak it in alcohol and then you put a mark where you want it and you just push it in. it won't hurt anymore than if a professional did it(if you do it right) it shouldn't get infected if you clean them everyday with alcohol.nothing serious happened to me! hope i helped please rate me!

Hope i helped!

If you are hell bent on piercing your ears though aim for your earlobes you have a much less chance of infection and pain. [ AquamarineRose's advice column | Ask AquamarineRose A Question ]
