As long as the parlor is clean, the risk of infection is far lesser than getting it done with a gun at the mall. Also, the piercing artist has been doing his thing for years, where the mall turns over employees far more often. At most tattoo parlors you would have to get it pierced with at least a 16 gauge, though.

Seriously, I was crying when I got there to pick out my earings, because even though I have my ears peirced three times, cartilage, and my belly button done, I HATE shots and needles. I DIDN'T EVEN FEEL IT. All I heard was the gun. Seriously, it doesn't hurt you unless you jump or something like that.

I've had my cartilidge pierced 5 different times, and nothing bad has ever happened to me. I think that there's a chance of it shattering your cartilidge, but I highly doubt it would, it MUST be rare. Make sure you get it done professionally though. You're supposed to keep cartilidge piercings in for a year without taking it out, but most professionals now say 3-6 months! Not 2 weeks that's total bullshit, you can irritate & infect it!! Good luck, it's the best ever, you should definitely get it! =) [ naimee's advice column | Ask naimee A Question ]
