After about a week I could sleep on it, but still not pressing really hard, and mine didn't get infected either. Of course it stings first, but if you have your lobes pierced, it's the same as that but you just have to wait a little bit longer until you can take them out. I got it with a gun because it was faster. If you dont have high pain tolerance, I'd say get it with a gun, but if you are afraid of pain so much, and more worried about getting an infection, I'd say go with a needle. Piercing Pagoda is a good place, and so is Claire's, if you're over 13. I'm not yet, so I got it at piercing pagoda. babycake_13 Tue, 16 Oct 2007 22:23:36 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/cartilage_piercing 113805 If that's honestly ur pic, i'd say 4/10. SO SRY!
