Q: Okay I really want to pierce my own cartlage but I don't know exactly how. I want to do it the right way so I won't get it infected or whatever. Could anyone give me precise instuctions? Thanks in advance!
Well. Basically. You can either numb it and shove a needle through, or you can just shove a needle though. Theres no exact way to piece your cartilage, because theres no nerve endings that you would damange, and no veins that you would bleed to death from hitting. So basically, just stick a needle through your ear. Make sure you sterilize it, and put a gold earring through it, to minimize the chances of getting an infection. Even people who have it professionally pierced still get infections so really theres no right or wrong way, make sure you clean it daily with alcohol or peroxide and a Q tip though, to also lessen the chances of possible infection.

thanks!
