You bleed, you bleed a lot. Every time you strain to bend over or pick up something heavy, you bleed, if you get stressed or exert yourself you bleed. It may heal but it could take a long time.
Body Piercing is not a hobby or recreational activity, it is a serious procedure that if done incorrectly can cause lasting long term damage to the body. Body Piercing is a service provided by trained and qualified professionals in a controlled environment using only sterilized materials and bio-compatible body jewellery designed for specific piercings. This is site is not designed or intended to provide users with "how to information" that could cause serious injury to themselves or others from the use of posted information. See a professional body piercer for all your piercings.
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 of 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.
Well... if you are piercing your cartilage, you won't hit a vein. On other places it is possible to hit a vein, and if it's major, you could bleed to death... But I'd imagine you'd get help before that happened. ^^^^^ You CAN hit a vein, but not ALL of your blood is in your ears. So I HIGHLY doubt if you perhaps did hit a vein, that you could bleed to death. None the less you may bleed a lot though. It truly depends on if your a bleeder, or not!
The blood is collected from the artery of ear rabbit (that lies in the middle of ear) but the marginal vein is used to injecte substances.
Cartilage is just that. It hardly contains any blood vessels. That is why there is very little blood when this area is pierced.
Nothing, but it hurts like hell just like if they miss the vein and hit a nerve.
that is because a patient with middle ear infection can have what is called mastoiditis, which is spread of the bacteria to the bone behind the ear. this gets inflamed and further leads in a small percentage of patients to inflammation and irritation of the vein passing by it(sigmoid vein). this can precipitate clot formation in this vein and this is called sigmoid vein thrombosis. as a result the clot might spread down to the internal jugular vien where ligation might be needed
if you miss it will burn bad, so quit an then hit another vein an if it burns then jus squirt it in your mouth if blood is all in your syringe
it would hurt
Depends on how you hit your ear.Most of the time, nothing will happen. But if you hit your ear just "right", you might force air into the ear canal hard enough to pop the ear drum. Not something to experiment with.
you become a dog
A thrombosis is a blood clot in a vein. This usually happens after some injury to the body. I think the most common form of thrombosis is a deep vein thrombosis in the legs. When this happens there is swelling of the muscle, pain and redness.
when you hit the blood vein
Unlikely, although hitting a vein does increase the chance of an infection.
