How do I pierce my earlobe with a sewing needle?

I want to make holes seconds done, but I do not want to pay for do. How do you pierce it with just a sewing needle? I spent pot lining tried until the end, but only the tip of the needle has penetrated in the back, but the earring is not even good. Any advice on this?

Piercing your ear should be used as a last resort. Home piercing is difficult to do correctly and you had better seek professional help. Please consider your choices before proceeding. If you want, get an ice pack and place it on your ear for about 30-40 seconds (or until it feels numb). This step is optional and you can ignore it if you want. Get a real piercing needle or a safety pin. Do NOT use a sewing needle. If the needle not come in a sterile package, sterilize the needle with a flame. Then, save 10% + rubbing alcohol on the needle. Sure to remove any soot or Litter. Be warned, this will only be a partial sterilization will not kill all microbes. Watch your hands. This will reduce the risk the bacteria from spreading. Put on sterile latex gloves, if possible. Clean your earring and your ear, or 70 +% alcohol or iodine. As mentioned earlier, this will be a partial sterilization. Put something solid on the back of your ear piercing as a cork. This is where you push the needle, you have something to push against, rather than pulling the skin. Stick the needle gently pierce through your ear until all along. Wiggle the needle, keep it folded. Leave whatever you chose in for at least 5 minutes with ice and some something to wipe the little bits of blood off with. Remove the piercing tool. If you used ice in the previous step your ear must be insensitive and can now slowly remove the needle from your ear. Place the earring in the hole, then the right bands after wipe the blood. You're done! Good luck and please be careful !!!!!!
