Ill just say when I get something professionally done these days...I fucking research for months or years...i did that shit for 4 years for my last tat...worth the time too!
The risks you run with when you do your own piercings, especially nose piercings, it they can get infected. The nose piercings are harder to maintain and keep clean. The best thing to do if you don't want to pay as much, is buy the jewelry and the needle then go to a few piercers and see if they'd do it that way. I know they do that around here. Good luck.
i do piercings ...and i have made due with supplies.. (on myself not customers) if you want to do your nose you can hollow out a pen and align it with the needle almost like clams and pierce right through into the pen so it doesnt go through the septum
yeah but i didnt have any actual recieving tubes so i used a pen its better than nothing to go to a supply store isnt always that simple
