i periced mine my self...i would go to a shop.. i have a peircing needle and it still hurt...i ended up gauging to 7/16s in in my septum...its really not that bad but your eyes will water. just be carfle hiding it right when its peirced tho because it will try to scab over and heal and every time you fold it up it will rip and hurt...wait a few months to gauge it too...go slow...slower then ears,
