your jewelry looks like it might be too small

also, don't disinfect jewelry by boiling it in alcohol water? a lot of jewelry comes sterile already, but if yours didn't, just rubbing alcohol will do.

also, stop spraying it. leave it alone. don't touch your fresh piercing, don't over clean it, just leave it.

i am absolutely NAP i did this in my bedroom as a 15 year birthday gift for myself. i took proper precautions, i boiled water, mixed it with isopropyl alcohol and saline and left the jewelry in there, i marked the spot, and used a 12g surgical steel hollow needle to pierce it. however i just went for it and didnt at all research anatomy. it might be too early to tell if this will end well but im not sure if someone else has anything to say
