Know how to sterilise your needle to begin with. Place the tip of the needle which is to go through your ear lobe when you pierce it over a hot plate or hot flame. This will hopefully be enough to sterilise the needle, or you can in addition to heating the needle tip, dip in some antiseptic liquid.

This will help to keep unwanted bacteria away, and hopefully begin to prevent infection.
