Reddit mentions: The best body piercing needles

If you only need small gauge for play piercing, you can do well with a diabetic supply. I think I got ~100 needles for around $10 or so at healthwarehouse and they are fantastic for play piercing. They tend to only do small gauges, though.

Looks like amazon has plenty of proper piercing needles. Here's a good listing, it looks like: 14 gauge, 100 pack.

I don't know how much research you've done, but please read this:

Make sure to get a set of sponge forceps in order to properly place the piercing.

Also, be sure to properly sterilize your equipment. Boiling doesn't cut it, especially for the needles. If you toss needles between each use, and boil your forceps, that might be sufficient, but you would be better off getting an autoclave or a chemiclave. Check here for more info.

Check out the Piercing Bible if you want to double check the placement of permanent piercings or if you want to know about aftercare or healing time. When I took my wife to get her nipples pierced and when I got my PA, I spent ages on the Piercing Bible researching the procedure to ensure that the piercer did it correctly. The information there is fantastic and details anything you could want to know about piercing.

>This isn't something you'd want some amateur attempting as it is definitely something that needs professional guidance to do well and most importantly CLEANLY AND SAFELY.

MILLIONS of people stick needles in their arms EVERY SINGLE DAY.. whether it be for insulin or heroin.

nobody receives special training to use an epipen. stick in leg it about all there is to it.

you could probably learn from a hospital because they need to teach caregivers so nurses don't have to come over every day to inject meds.

​

it doesn't sound like they're really concerned about getting it wrong.. take some notes.. maybe.. if you forget.

Dont wash your self with antibiotic soap. If using anche cream only apply in small amounts to the pimple; dont spread.

Keeping a healthy flora will greatly help. This stuff is fairly resistant to normal soap washing, but not to abx soap. Don't over wash, 1x per day and rinsing after exercise.

Wash your bag, and towels often. Change pillow sheet often.

Over washing, using a lot of products, and antibiotics will work but it creates a cycle. They get rid of the anche but once you stop, you are more susceptible to anche via dry skin, no healthy flora, damaged outer layer of skin, and inflammation. The flora on your body is actually very good at competing with anche. Not touching pimples is a good thing, if they get big dont pop them instead use a lance or sterile needle (you can get these from pharmacies or amazon ) to make the smallest of incisions for drainage then wash with warm soapy water and don't cover.

My item is also camera-related! I would save up to buy a used camera lens. I have two that I really want on my wishlist.

Thanks for the contest!

Hey you might want to look into buying surgical needles online. So sharp they go through thick skin like butter, they're hollow to allow for drainage, and usually bigger around than a sewing needle so the resulting hole is bigger.

Something like this maybe http://smile.amazon.com/100-Body-Piercing-Needle-Sizes/dp/B00JJ1HNT2

How do these look?


edit: Confirmed. I received the 12G and it fits. It put it in blunt side first. Cutting it with a steak knife was really hard. I just used wire cutter to snip it and re-open the needle using pliers because it gets bent shut. Then I gently tapped it (uncut blunt side) into the Magma using the pliers as a hammer. NOTE: This does reduce air flow noticeably, but I don't mind that and with an o-ring for the top cap screw-in, I get to pocket my Magma without worries now.

I'd seriously be careful in China (anywhere actually) that the needle is cleaned properly.

I got my hair cut the other day, the hairdresser wanted to shave my neck hairs and decided to switch the blade. She got some guy (her husband?) to try and switch the blade, he cut his finger nice and bloodily. She still intended to use that blade... I walked away.

Appearance of clean often seems to be considered more than bacterially/virally clean.

If you can, maybe see if you can buy a cheap piercing needle or whatever and bring it with you for them to use.

I may be paranoid, but I'd rather be paranoid and clean than careless and AIDed.
