Did you autoclave it? Or something?
I've had almost everything self done, but I'm down to 00 gauges and my industrial just rejected (That was professionally done).
I'd do my septum, but I have this awkward nose and for the life of me I don't think I could get it -just- right.
BTW you can buy professional gauged needles from modblog's store. They're great and I've used them before and they're just GREAT.

BTW. Im not suggesting self piercing! But atleast look it up, sterilize it (just go to the dentist and ask if they could autoclave a needle for you), and mark it out both sides, etc etc. BE CAREFUL.
