To pierce your own penis, start by purchasing your supplies, including a piece of titanium jewelry, a surgical needle, clamps, and safety gloves. Use a antibacterial solution to sanitize your jewelry, clamps, and needles, since you want to make sure there’s no risk of infection. After everything is sterilized, wash the skin where you’ll be doing the piercing, and mark the entry and exit points with a marker pen. Then, apply a little A&D ointment to the needle to help it pierce your skin more smoothly and line it up with the marks you made. When you’ve got it in line, take a couple of deep breaths and push the needle quickly through the skin until it comes out the other side. Once the needle is through, place your piece of jewelry in the hollow end of the needle and push it all the way through, which will cause the piercing to go into the hole you’ve made. Screw the ball onto the jewelry to hold it in place once it’s in the hole. During the first week or 2 after the piercing, soak your penis in a solution of warm water and salt from time to time to guard against infection. Additionally, try to avoid taking a bath or going swimming while the piercing heals, since these activities increase the infection risk.
