A sewing needle is a sharpened piece of metal. If you try to shove a sewing needle through skin, you will cause a lot of damage, which will in turn lead to longer heals and possible scarring.

When a piercer does the piercing, they use a hypodermic needle. It is a hollow needle with razor sharp edges on the point. They are designed to slice and separate the skin, causing as minimal damage as possible.

When looking to have a piercing, consult a professional piercer. Piercing is not a do it yourself project.

Can you use a sewing needle as a piercing needle?

you can but you can't be sure if the needle is clean. also the correct needles to use, are hollow, a sewing needle will tear the skin and also be very hard to put through your year. you need to use a sterilized hollow needle. you can try to clean the needle but just take about 5$ and order a hollow needle online. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- although it may not be recomended, they work just as well if you're doing your own. i use them for the peircings i do myself, and i haven't had any infections. just be sure the needle is clean before you use it.

Do you have to use a hollow tip to pierce your belly button?

Well all tri-beveled piercing needles are hollow. If you are asking more astutely if you can use a sewing needle...no. You wouldn't be able to slide a 14g piece of jewelry after having pierced it with a more than likely 22 or 16g sewing needle, and then you would have to stretch the fresh piercing (which you don't do). Even if you were to find a needle of the same size as the jewelry, it can be quite tricky to transfer the needle out and the jewelry in when doing this. The hollow piercing needles work quite well for this, in that you can place the end of the jewelry in the divot, thereby making it go through quite easily.
