Obviously the safest option is going to a professional where they should use a needle. I remember getting my lobes done with a piercing gun when I was 8 and still remember how much that hurt. Recently I did my helix myself with a sewing needle and that hurt a lot less, despite it going through cartilage. If you are going to pierce yourself use a needle.
This thread is making me want to get my conch dons 
Damn you brave! I’ve pierced my lobes with a needle but I’m way too wimpy to do cartilage myself!
You can buy hollow piercing needles on Amazon which is what piercers use. If you’re gonna pierce your own ears don’t use guns 
I sooo want my conch been thinking about it for ages.This thread is making me want to get my conch dons
Can’t decide on tragus 
Not ear related sorry
Had my belly button done years ago. Had no issues with it, just took it out one day and left it to fully heal. I’m wanting it re-done, has anyone had theirs re-pierced? Is there more risk of infection or are they usually fine?

I think more painful because of damaged tissue but should be fine. Wish mine would close up! I’ve had it 16 years and it appears I’ll be wearing aged 90 at this rateNot ear related sorry

Do it! I love mine and I think they suit everyone! They look so cuteCan’t decide on tragus
Tragus was my first proper piercing i.e. had to go to a piercing place and it wasn't lobes.Can’t decide on tragus
I have had it for almost half my life now and j still think it looks great.
Over the years I have changed the jewelery to suit my style, have gone from a hoop to plain bars and now a bar with a little clear gem
Definitely one of my favourite piercings.
Go for it! It’s the best and heals really well.Can’t decide on tragus
Sorry for going off the topic, but did your piercing close up nicely? Mine is relatively new but it is taking a long time to heal, if it rejects I want to take it out but wonder whether it will leave a scar or a hole.Not ear related sorry

I would advise going to a professional piercing shop.
I want my lobes doing a 3rd time and my tragus - what’s the heal time like with tragus?
It did yes
I had no issues at all. I can still see the dots of where the piercing was, but it’s fully closed and cannot get a belly bar through it at all.I religiously cleaned mine with salt water after I got it done though.
I’m seriously considering a daith piercing but am wondering how painful they are? I have my nose pierced and that didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would, the daith area is harder though..
I have both of mine done at different times and it varied. The first healed incredibly fast, within a few weeks. The second was still bleeding occasionally and uncomfortable 8 months later. I got them done at separate times so I always had one side to sleep on but I’m wondering if I was lying on the second one more once I’d fallen asleep or something! I will also say the placement of the second isn’t the best - closer to the edge of the tragus instead of nicely in the middle. So my two varied from less than a month to about 10 months.
I have lobes and 2x helix, considering getting forward helix done where does everyone get their earrings? I've not got any nice ones and can't find any I like!
