Should I pierce my own nose?

Q: I’m thirteen, and my mom won’t let me get it done.I know I have to clean everything, etc. etc. I am going to use an earring…but I don’t know where. How stupid is the idea? How much trouble could I get in? (damaging nose, smell, etc.)Thanks! Please don’t think I’m dumb, because I’m aware of what could happen. Most of my friends have done it successfully though. Tell me what I should do…don’t tell me to wait or get it done professionally though.Thanks guys…I know my question was all over the place but I don’t think I’m gonna do it myself.

A: Unless you have an autoclave, your equipment will never truly be clean enough for a clean piercing. Having said that…Using an earring would be a bad choice, but I’m a firm believer in quality jewelry to help prevent infection. I use all surgical steel in my piercings, and refuse anything less. Allergies and other things can really complicate healing.If you truly insist on doing it, get some sea salt and mix 4 tsp into one gallon of distilled water. Heat the solution, not too hot, and soak it four times a day for ten minutes in a shot glass until you have absolutely no discharge left. (When I had my nose done, we had a glass table, so I could read or play DS while soaking.)Piercings are always a risk if you don’t take care of them after the fact, no matter how well you clean your equipment.Do not clean it with soap of any kind. Puncture wounds do not take well to soap. Read the bottles, they even say don’t use it on punctures.Do not use stuff that dries it out (alcohol or hydrogen peroxide), or keeps fresh air from getting to it (like neosporin).It can heal itself with the sea salt soaks just fine.
