Need help with my helix piercing

pls professional at home piercers help me i did my own piercing at home for the first time using a needle (on my helix) and it turned out the needle was too skinny so i couldnt put in the earring i wanted to and since the helix is hard i couldnt even force it/jam it in so what should i do…should i wait for it to close up and try again with maybe those mini piercing guns or another thick needle?? also my friend told me to stab it multiple times but that shi hurt like a bitch so im too scared to do it again (yes i have an insanely low pain tolerance) but if yall think itll work ill try it but if theres better solutions help me out NOW i beggg
