Advice on cartilege piercing?
07.01.05 (5:03 pm)   [edit]
I've been wanting to get my ear cartilege pierced for the last couple of years, but thoughts of pain and, mostly, infection keep haunting me.

I've semi-researched online, for people's stories/experiences of having it done, and there have been some really good ones, and some REALLY bad ones...now, I gotta ask, for anyone who's had their cartilege pierced, is it really that bad? or are the bad cases from improper care? Do you recommend someone getting it pierced? or is it just that bad? hmm...
And, what's with this gauge thing?

If I do have it done, I know that I should NOT get it done with a gun though, and that I should go to a tattoo/body piercing place, where they are professionally trained, and use a needle. Does anyone know of a good place/person in the GTA? (but mostly, in Mississauga)

Please provide some feedback!! Thanks a bunch :)

that sounds FREAKY, i didn't know they did piercing w/ a needle!

anyways, a friend of mine has her's pierced... i think she's had it for a long time...
but she does have an interesting story! :)
2 yrs ago she had to go to the hospital regarding the piercing.
apparently she had gotten a cut on her ear right by her earing, somehow, and as her skin was healing, it healed over the earing..
i dunno how fast this happened... like if it healed overnight, or if it happened over a long timespan and she just didn't notice it healing weird...
but anyways, she ended up going to the hospital and having then cut her ear so that she could take the earing out.

so there's a story for u! :)
it's not really anything really negative. just interesting...

i say u should go for it!
i think they look kewl.

jeebus! that's terrible!!! :S
but yeah, it's really bad with a gun, because they use the stud that u're gonna wear, and it's dull and thick, so it damages the cartilege...so it's better with a needle...
I'm still thinking about it. i'll ask my mom after i'm more caught up with my reading, lol
I'll try to give u a call tomorrow! I hope i catch you before u leave for the Peg! I dun even know what time u're going! (i'll prolly see it in ur blog when i go in 2 min ;))

hi mum...actually it's pretty good gettin a piercing with the gun cause it's less pain and it's cleaner since they pierce you with the actual earring that you choose....so no needles to worry about....but yes i used to get it at the hair salon at square one the one in front of the pretzel shop but they don't pierce there anymore....but they did a pretty good job....most places do it well you just have to know where to tell them to pierce it and yes! cleaning daily is a MUST if you wanna keep the piercing free of irritation or infection =D
