#Sanitize your hands and the area to be pierced. Scrub your hands well with an antibacterial soap, and dry them with a clean towel. After your hands are clean, you must clean the area you are piercing. Pour some rubbing alcohol onto sterile gauze and clean the skin thoroughly. Alcohol wipes also work for this.<ref>https://ift.tt/2IlOT3J> To avoid contaminating the piercing site, after you’ve cleaned the area, don’t touch it again.[[Image:Do a Self Piercing at Home Step 1 Version 2.jpg|center]]

#*The easiest piercings to do at home are your earlobes. Nose and belly button piercings can also be done at home with minimal risk. When it comes to doing a piercing near your mouth (such as tongue or lip), near your eye, or at the top of your ear, it is best to see a professional. You can end up with permanent scarring, damage to the body part, and even deformities. Do not risk it.

#Disinfect the piercing needle. Ideally, you should use a piercing needle that has never been used. Take it out of the packaging only when you are ready to use it.<ref>https://ift.tt/2IlOT3J> If you have a piercing needle that’s been opened or used, you will need to sanitize it well. Soak it in rubbing alcohol before you use it to pierce. The more you disinfect the area and the needle, the lower the chance of infection.[[Image:Do a Self Piercing at Home Step 2 Version 2.jpg|center]]
