Kimberly WhitneyKimberly Whitney: Oh lord, I watched maybe 100 videos before getting the kit. I felt educated and prepared, but boy was I wrong. The gauge on these needles are a 14g, the same size as the bar, so I had to purchase 13g needles. The bar fit perfectly in the threading though. Piercing with the needle didn't hurt at all btw, went right in. I didn't numb, and had zero pain.
The con to doing this on yourself is you can't properly mark yourself and determine exactly where to place the clamp. I ended up grabbing too much skin in the clamp. The proper way to pierce is to go from bottom to top so you can thread the bar through the needle. So seeing from the underside while trying to push a needle is scary and difficult. You risk the needle going in crooked as well. I thought I had marked correctly and put the clamp on center. Got the needle pushed out and the bar in, and it was too short! Even with these bars being 1/2 long instead of the standard 3/8, it still wasn't long enough. I didn't want to risk the chance of swelling and getting an infection or an inbedded ball from the jewelry being too tight. So I immediately took it out. Really sucked, but belly piercings have a hard enough time healing...

Tintin: This item is pretty easy to use! It was my first time piercing on my own so I was pretty nervous. But it’s actually pretty simple and easy to use. I didn’t know if you were supposed to put the belly piercing through the hollow needle and pull it through the pierced area. If you were, the piercing didn’t fit through so I just took the needle out and pushed it in. The quality is good but some of the gems(?) on the piercing are loose. But other than that, everything else was fine. The packaging is okay... I mean it shouldn’t really matter but it could be better. But everything came with the order.

Alexa: I numbed myself before hand for about 10 minutes and the needle slid it perfectly! the jewelry didnt fit in the hollow needle so i had to thread it through as i took the needle out but it took about 2 minutes to get in the hole and i was feeling REALLY light headed and was bleeding a lot which stopped when i got the jewelry in the hole but i’m sure it was because it was passed 3 and i haven’t eaten whatsoever all day 😂 i also had help the hole time besides sticking the needle in, just to put the jewelry in because i couldn’t have done it myself .

Alexzandria: Okay so! First things first, I’ve wanted my belly button pierced for the longest time! I never wanted to go pay for it & after i pierced my nose myself I’ve been on a kick!
• It was easy to use! Definitely giving 5 stars! The needle was sharp! It wasn’t hard to push it through. I didn’t numb it or anything. I simply marked the spot I wanted, used the clamp & locked it down. (The clamp has ridges on the bottom that locks it into place. I clamped as hard as I could to keep the skin tight. That was the only part that hurt,)
• I read the other reviews and they were surly right! The needle hole & the actual piercing hole was to 2 different sizes! Not a big deal, though. All i did was push the belly ring in through the bottom and wiggled it through at the top and put the ball on!
• I gave it 3 stars for the value of money only because the clamp was a tad bit flimsy & the needle size wasn’t big enough but again these are all things you can work past! Highly recommended!
