(and i have mine done too!)

Karen answered Monday August 22 2005, 12:09 pm: It's not going to hurt at all. Of course it's going to hurt more than getting your lobes pierced, since there are nerves in this part of your ear. My left cartilage is double pierced and when I got it pierced, it felt like a pinch. Don't worry about it. [ Karen's advice column | Ask Karen A Question ]
GreenDayFan69 answered Monday August 22 2005, 1:21 am: Ok look I was 7 when I got mine done and I am a big baby ( hahaha) And it didn't hurt me a bit !
So don't let anyone tell you that it hurts like a bitch because it really doesn't !
Ok it gets sore for the next few days but thats
it and you prolly don wanna lay on it for a week
or so but wut I did was kinda like cupped my ear with my hand when I started to lay on it ! And I am 13 now so everything is good with it !
Just believe me it doesn't hurt at all! I mean the next day it is kinda sore but that is REALLY IT I SWEAR !!!!! Well I hope that I helped and I hope that you take my advice because I am giving you my honest answer ! [ GreenDayFan69's advice column | Ask GreenDayFan69 A Question ]
ThugGirl041790 answered Monday August 22 2005, 12:13 am: Yes it hurts.. and it hurts alot worse then your lobe.. it actually hurts for a good couple of months.. most people i know that got it done and myself has had it hurt alot longer then your lobe.. and it gets infected alot easier.. ♥ Dez [ ThugGirl041790's advice column | Ask ThugGirl041790 A Question ]
Shortcake22 answered Sunday August 21 2005, 11:49 pm: Um for me I couldnt even feel the earring go in when she was actually do it. I could only hear it pop when It went in. But after.... It hurt to lay on it, talk on the phone, and if anything touched it. Now I dont do that well with cheap earrings because Im kindof reactant to the metal, But I dont think that had anything to do with it, because my best friend felt the same way. My other best friend(we all got them done together) said It hurt right when it got pierced, but not after, so It might all depend on your pain tolerance and your body. <3 [ Shortcake22's advice column | Ask Shortcake22 A Question ]

BewareOfCat2 answered Sunday August 21 2005, 11:06 pm: My sister got her cartilage pierced and she told me that it hurt like hell. She stopped wearing hers years ago and she was left with a gross scar. It could just be her body, but if it won't close up and look natural again (since I'm assuming you won't want a cartilage piercing when your an old person) I don't recommend cartilage piercings.

xPunkRockBabex answered Sunday August 21 2005, 10:44 pm: it feels just like gettin your lobes pierced, actually it hurts less.
when i got mine done im like "ok you can do it now" and she already did it, so it doesnt hurt at all:) [ xPunkRockBabex's advice column | Ask xPunkRockBabex A Question ]
Xo_Blondii_oX answered Sunday August 21 2005, 10:12 pm: it didnt hurt at all!..just a quick pinch....hurts for maybe 2 seconds...i actually think it was easier then getting my lobe pierced...but it could be just my opinion. Good luck! and i hope you get it done! (its really cute)
p.s. make sure you clean it all the time so it dont get infected and take care of it..it may not get infected at first it can take atleast 3 mnths to get infected(mine did) [ Xo_Blondii_oX's advice column | Ask Xo_Blondii_oX A Question ]
