cartilage piercing
I want to ask my mom about getting my cartilage pierced. I have 5 earrings now and I got them all before I was 12 so I am pretty sure she would be alright with this but I haven't asked her yet so I need some convincing points just in case.
I know piercing guns cause excess scar tissue and have a much higher risk of infection than needles do. Even if the gun hurts less I would rather just use a needle and be safe. I'm not sure how to go about finding a piercing parlor? I live near Philadelphia.
Anyway, everyone I have talked to said it didn't hurt much while being pierced, but then afterwards it was very sore. Is there anything I could do to cut back on the soreness after the piercing if I get it?
Thanks!

A lot of tattoo parlors also offer professional piercing. I would grab a copy of the yellow pages and make a few calls.
When I had mine pierced it didn't hurt too badly. Afterwards I didn't experience a lot of soreness... I even slept on my side most of the time.
At the tattoo parlor that I went to, after piercing you were obligated to purchase medicine. The medicine was a solution that they had made... I'm not sure what it was composed of. I was told NOT to EVER clean my piercings with hydrogen peroxide. It would be best to ask your piercer what he/she recommends, and if they have any type of solution available then purchase that.

Well, since you got all 5 piercings before you were 12 and you still have all of them, it shows that you're responsible enough to handle old and new piercings =)
And with the soreness, take Advil before you get pierced. Put ice on it. Before you go to bed, take Advil again and make sure your head is propped up with pillows so that it is elevated above your heart =)
