Dear God, you can't even write your own sentences! How could you think
to do your own piercings!!!!??? ;o)

Seriously, though, you won't die. A guess based on countless - another
guess on the 'countless' concept - who've self-pierced before you.

I did my own piercing, albeit unintentionally. Pushed new jewelry
through a cartilage piercing. Placed the jewelry at the entry hole and,
surprisingly, made a *new* exit hole. Hmm. Not what I had in mind.

Knew a guy who pushed safety pins through his eyebrow "for fun". Ouch.
No.

There was a student while I was student teaching who used a Claire's or
Piercing Pagoda stud to create a self-pierced labret. Impressive. I
couldn't do it.

I know of at least one person who did their own septum using an X-acto
knife.

And, naturally, I've heard of people doing their own lobes using a
needle and a potato or ice... or both.
