Where should I go to get my cartilage pierced?

Question

My mom and me are going back to school shopping this weekend and she said while we were at the mall I could get my cartilage pierced. Is it bad to get it pierced at like Claire's or Icings or do I need to go to like a tattoo parlor where they do piercings. What is the bad thing about getting it pierced at Claire's?

Answer 1

Piercing isn't really the problem, it's the studs that matter.

You could get it pierced anywhere but the studs, you have to buy real gold. For me, I bought the stainless steel studs from Claire's. It's been 3 years since I have pierced my ears, and I could still wear these studs

Answer 2

Please, do your ears a favor and go to a professional piercer.
