You get in your car, drive to the most reputable piercing shop you can know of (even if it's two and a half hours away), walk in, tell them what you want done, go back, they pierce you and you walk out happy with a steril piercing.
The dangers of piercing yourself are too high for you to do it. There is no reason whay you shouldn't go to a professional. There are some people on here that will advocate the use of some so-called home kits, but they are just as dangerous as trying it without them. If you really want a piercing then you need to see a professional because they can tell you personalized care and they are there for you after the piercing if you need something.
The reasons you should not attempt to pierce your self should be obvious, but for those who think it's a "DIY" project, here's some food for thought.
Infection and contraction of MRSA, HIV, Meningitis, Hepatitis and Tetanus are all very serious health issues, MRSA is an antibiotic resistant bacteria that can in most cases land the unlucky individual in the hospital (and has been responsible for serious deformities and deaths). These infections has been caused by using unsterilized equipment and materials. Sterilization is not achieved by pouring alcohol over needles and jewellery, or burning these items over a fire or exposed flame. Microorganisms live in the fine fissures and cracks in needles and jewellery and only the high temperature and pressure of a steam Autoclave can render these and many other bacteria harmless.
The above reasons alone should be enough to sway anyone from thinking they can do it themselves. Professional body piercers have years for hands on training and education to enable them to make any piercing "look simple", when in fact they are considering dozens of things when they lay out a piercing and actually do it. So consider your lack of knowledge, training and skills before you attempt to do any self piercing, once you pierce it, it's damaged tissue. This makes it even more difficult for a professional piercer to leave you with a great looking piercing when the area we have to work with is damaged by self inflicted attempts.

How can you Calculate what force is needed to pierce skin 2.5mm with needle?
To calculate the force needed to pierce skin with a needle, you would need to consider factors like the needle's diameter, material, and sharpness. Bernoulli's principle and Young's modulus can also be used to estimate the force. However, performing actual experiments using materials similar to human skin may be the most accurate way to determine the force needed to pierce skin with a needle.
