hey man, I have done a piercing, but I suggest just dropping $20 and getting it done professionally. Although it IS possible to sterilize a needle by torching it (not over a match or a regular lighter, it needs to be white hot, try a gas-stove), the problem I ran into was that I have a teardrop shaped ear and I couldn't get the damn thing all the way through my ear straight. I ended up with a nasty infection in some of the bad holes and found getting it doen at a shop by a third party to be the better way to go.
Just my opinion.
