My friend said if I let her do it she would use a safety pin... I figured if we steralized the pin it would be okay. I would most likely get a ring or a stud put in... what do y'all think?

Safety pins, sewing needles, stick pins have nickel in them and this can cause allergic reactions , causing the site to turn red and ooze with infection. Think twice about this one.

If you're worried about the cost, ear piercings aren't too expensive. Find a respectable booth in the mall or a Claire's. They usually have deals where if you buy the earrings, the piercing itself is free.

Speaking from personal experience, DO NOT get pierced by anyone that's not a professional. I pierced my own nose and it got more infected than I've ever seen a piercing get. Always use a professional! :)

Very dangerous to try this. Without an autoclave you cannot achieve sterilization, therefore you run the huge risk of infection.

If I were you I wouldn't do that. Because what if you don't like what it looks like after you have 2 wait till your ear closes up again
