i recommend buying the nose stud, where its a rod instead of a screw that you put in for self piercing, bc itll be easier to put in...
#1 STERILIZE YOUR NEEDLES! just soak it in rubbing alcohol while your doing step 3.
#2 Take some advil, ibprophen, whatever you like, and JUST RELAX!
# When i did it, i put on my favorite music,(hard rock) and iced my nostril until the whole ice cube was melted, and it was totally numb.
#4 Then, with the nose rings that i bought, on the back was a little foam square thing. i folded that in half, stuck it in my nose, and then slowly pierced it. the foam thing was used for easier piercing, and so the needle didnt stab the middle of your nose.
#5 Clean it with rubbing alcohol twice a day!(morning and night? before and after school?)
i only did it myself because im too young(14)to get it done professionally in my state of wisconsin, and it looks like its killer to get it done. GOOD LUCK!!!! and take care of it! and it may be a bit sore, but mine wasnt that bad...youll love it! [ hannahmul's advice column | Ask hannahmul A Question ]

You're wandering into very dangerous territory. You have to keep your piercing clean and your hands away from it. If you see any sign of infection, you have to get it looked at. Cartilage piercings are especially dangerous because if they get infected, they can cause the cartilage to collapse.
You're better off waiting until you can get it done professionally. I know that's not what you want to hear, but it's the safest way to do it.
If you're determined to do it yourself, you might want to look here for supplies:
