The pain: much more intense than with a professional
With poorly adapted equipment and amateur technique, DIY piercing can be much more painful. At a piercer, the act is quick and precise. At home, without experience, you risk inflicting prolonged and unnecessary pain on yourself. It is extremely difficult to control your pain at the same time as your needle, your angle, your jewelry ... not to mention that in general this type of piercing is done in front of a mirror in which we do everything backwards.
The cost: a deceptive economy
People often think that a homemade piercing is cheaper. But if things go wrong (which is very likely), the medical bills to treat an infection or correct a botched piercing can quickly exceed the price of a professional piercing.
Children's piercings: a special case
Some videos show parents piercing their children's ears themselves to "save time." However, this exposes the child to unnecessary risks, including infections and psychological trauma. If you are considering getting your child's ears pierced, seek professional help who can handle the situation gently and expertly.
Why choose a professional piercer?
Professional piercers are not there by chance. Their training and experience allow them to perform piercings safely, with perfect placement and an optimized healing process.
What a piercer guarantees you:
-
A sterile environment and single-use equipment.
- A selection of quality jewelry adapted to your anatomy.
- Personalized advice for maintenance, placement and healing.
Bottom line: Trust your body to a pro, not a DIY kit
DIY piercings may seem easy, but the risks involved aren't worth it. Between infections, poor placement, unnecessary pain, and various complications, it's a dangerous game for your health and style.
If you want a safe and aesthetic piercing, go to a professional piercer. They will be able to offer you a safe experience and a piece of jewelry that you will wear with pride. So, forget about DIY kits and choose quality!
