Answer #1

I had my cartilige in both ears done a yr ago with the gun, the studs they used were too short. I ended up going and buyin 10g hoops to put in my ear.it only took about 3 weeks for them to fully heal but I had to do it all over again I WOULD GO TO A TATTOO AND PIERCING SHOP AND GET IT DONE WITH A NEEDLE… THATS HOW I HAD MY NOSE DONE!!! ( LOVED IT) didnt hurt at all my ears hurt worse than my nose!!!

Answer #2

you can have it done with a needle at a tattoo shop. I used to pierce ears with a gun, and cartilige can be really tough, like hard to pierce through with a gun. I dont know if it hurts less, I mean either way your going to feel a “pop” but its over in a second any way. good luck!

Answer #3

I had both of my ear pierced there,it didnt hurt a bit. I was scared but I went for it,they used the same machine they use when piercing the normal part of your ear which is at the bottom. I like it cause its nice and unique…Go for it!

Answer #4

I’ve had both ear pierced that part and it didnt hurt a bit, they used the same machine which you use to pierce the normal part of the ear at the bottom. It looks nice and unique…Go for it!

Answer #5

if you get your cartilige pierced with a gun it can damage your cartiliage and your ear forms a bump on the back of it. its recommended that you get it done with a needle its safer and smarter. and it doesnt hurt any more then using the gun. You can get it done at a tattoo shop but you have to be 18 depending on where you live. if you want it done with a gun go to claires
