I really want to get my cartilage pierced?

Question

I only have my ears pierced in the norm spot. Where almost every girl gets them pierced. And now, what I want to do is get a piercing on the cartilage (top) of my right ear. So can you pretty much cover all of the pro's and con's? I want it done, but I want to know the pro's && con's before I actually go get it done. Thank you!

Answer 1

it doesn't hurt.

it just feels like someoen pinching your ear. i got it done when i was like ten. haha.

just make sure you clean it because it could grow this bubble on the back which hurts like a ***** when you sleep on that side.  

Answer 2

i jus got mine and they hurt like h**l when u take em out so leave it in till it completly heals

Answer 3

My friend got hers done and she said that the numbing part hurt but the actual piercing didnt

the piercing is fun tp have and looks pretty awesome

but it is hard to take care of...it is more sensitive than regular piercings so it will close up easier

Answer 4

well

people say dont get it done with the gun ... i did - BY A PRO

and its WAY better getting it with the gun then needle

gun - i was leaning on it within the first day of it pierced and sleeping on that side

needle - OUCH PAIN for 6 months couldn't lean on it nothing ...

and heres something else ..

female - left side ... if you get right it means your a lez - cause i wanted right one doing an they told me im like NO GET LEFT DONE

males - right side ... if you get left its like females ... means your g*y

NO OFFENSE ANYONE its just what they told me

an it REALLY doesn't hurt

it doesn't get infected easily ... only if you dont clean it 2 times a day till they tell you

an the only way it can get infected is if you dont clean it so do that an its fine

Answer 5

The only con I can think about is... um.. NONE.

Its so cute.

My Mom wont allow mine.  

Answer 6

Never ever get it pierced with a gun! You can do damage to your cartilage,and they cant sterilize the gun properly.Must safer and smarter to get it done with a needle.

Its best to get it pierced on the side you don't prefer to sleep on.Cause it can get a little sore sleeping on it.And it usually takes about a year to heal.Other then that,your good to go. :)

Edit-Don't listen to cute she does not have a clue what she is talking about..It's a stupid myth made by people and kept going by people like her..Piercings have nothing to do with stating rather you are g*y or straight.Its all about what side you thinks looks better..

Answer 7

only hurts a little bit more than the bottom ones

hurts a lot to sleep on for the first few weeks, keeps you awake & wakes you up if you roll onto it

IF it does get infected its hard to heal coz theres not many blood capilaries that go to it

and theres a pretty main nerve there that you can hit unless you get it done proffesionally

make sure you use pure sterile silver/gold earrings in it

i had mine done almost a year ago and i never got an infection - no regrets:)

make sure to clean it in the morning and after your shower at night and it wont get infected, try not to touch it during the day unless your hands are clean

good luck:)
