How unhealthy is it if i stick pins in my arm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That is dangerous.: Are you doing it to self mutilate? To cause yourself physical pain? Dangers with sticking pins in your arms include infection, bleeding, & nerve damage. An acupuncturist uses sterile needles with very specific placement ofneedles - that is a safe use of needles in arms.
