I will never pierce my ears again.
My septum piercing didn't hurt that much, just a shock of pain but it wasn't throbbing like the ears (the septum was a needle and the ears were with a gun, so that's why the ears hurt more probably. Never get pierced with a gun, always go to a tattoo shop thate pierces with needles).

I believe hand sanitizer would be okay, but it's not advisable to pierce at home as infection is possible. Wear gloves or at least make sure your hands are clean when doing this.
