Where Can I Get My Cartilage Pierced?

You can get it done at Clare's or walmart it really dont matter or the tattoo shop

My recommendation is to have a piercer do it in a piercings shop. Piercing needles are way safer and more sanitary than healing guns.

Helix [cartilage] piercings that are done by piercing guns usually get that "bump" of hypertrophic scarring b/c the earrings they use for guns don't allow enough room for swelling or for the piercings to breathe. And they're made w/ cheap metal. In the worst case, yes, they can also shatter your cartilage. Piercing guns use blunt force trauma to basically punch a hole in you.

Definitely don't get it pierced w/ a gun.


Good luck :)

Hi!

I live in Dublin,Ireland. Im 14 and a girl! Wanted my cartilage done and it took me ages to convince my mam to say yes!
So when she did we searched everywhere like claires and all th jewellers etc but claires wont do it till r 16 and i sure dont look 16! So we then went to georges arcade! Got it pierced with a gun 4 six euro! Th whole price for th piercing, another earring and a cleaning product was 10 euro! The gun did not hurt at all! Couldnt feel a thing! I heard all that bout a gun but i got my lobes pierced by a gun and they were fine..my cartilage defo ain't shattered and its not a tinsy bit sore...until i have to clean it! Ouch! Lol ! So i would go to either claires (if ur over 16) Or like a tattoo parlour!
