There would be more risks in attempting to pierce your own eyebrow, as there is less skin and fat protecting the muscles and nerves. You risk causing impairment to your facial movements.

I'll admit that I've done several piercings myself - six in my ear lobes and my lip. I did them when I was young, skint and very, VERY stupid. Thankfully I've never had any serious complications from doing so, and have all but two of the ear piercings to this day (the first ones I did, because they were a bit wonky). While I did plenty of research into hygiene and how the piercing should sit, I never thought of the consequences and could have paid for that dearly. Rejection and scarring are one thing, septecemia is another.

Remember that piercings cost so much to pay for the quality and sterility of the materials involved, as well as after care and expertise. Ask any people you know with (successful) piercings where they got it done, save up for it and don't risk injuring yourself. Besides, if it's a case of familial disapproval, it's not going to be made any easier if they know it's a DIY job and not a professional one.
