Abstract
Earlobe piercing is a daily Out patient procedure done by a plastic surgeon. Various methods of ear piercing have been described. In this article, we describe a novel method of ear piercing using the Bone marrow aspiration needle which can be adapted and performed easily, cost effective, reusable by autoclaving. A 60 year old female patient underwent an ear piercing using a bone marrow aspiration needle. The ear piercing using this needle will help in reducing the cost to the patient in accessing the expert care at a lower cost. The advantages we noticed while using the bone marrow aspiration needle over conventional methods were more easily adapted and replicated. The disadvantage is the considerable trauma with chance of bleeding.
