Questions about cartilage piercing?!?!?

Question

i'm getting my cartilage pierced tomorow

and i have a couple questions...

does it hurt to get it in (im terrified of needles)? and is the pain to bad after it is done?

and the big question

WHICH SIDE??? left or right?!?!?

(i am a 17 year old girl, in case that matters)

thanks in advance!!!

Answer 1

It will hurt when you get it done because the cartilage is thick and it will be a bit tender during the following days.

For girls it doesn't matter but most people get it done on the left ear.

Answer 2

hmmmm.

nope.

two of my friends recently had their cartilage pierced.

they said it didn't hurt.

you barely have any nerves in your cartilage.

and get the left side pierced!

:]

Answer 3

It doesn't really hurt to get it pierced, but the healing process is not comfortable. Especially if you have a tendency to sleep on the side that you got pierced. So if you sleep on a particular side, I suggest getting the opposite.
