piercing cartilage.
15/f. I pierced three holes on both my ears (2 on the right, 1 left) by myself. When I did it, there were NO infections on either of the holes. My question is...if I pierced my ears without getting an infection, would piercing the cartilage work the same? Is there anyone that did it themselves?
thanks. =]

i got my cartlidge done and i took it out to soon and it got infected. so make sure you keeep it in. if you do get your cartlidge peiced you should get it done at like a tattoo place because they peice it with a needle. needles are better because there is a less risk that it can shatter your carlidge. if you get it done with a gun, and you mess up, it could be really bad.
hope it helps!

Piercing your ears (which was foolish to do in the first place, but I'm glad yours turned out fine) is not the same as piercing cartilage.
For a start, cartilage is a riskier area and if something did happen to go wrong, it could turn out to be quite serious. I'm talking reconstructive surgery to help build your ear back into shape. I've seen it happen before.
If you have the correct equipment (right sized jewelry and needle), AUTOCLAVED needles/jewelry (which I'm guessing you can't get hold of because you are not a professional piercer - as this is the ONLY way to properly sterilize something), correct placement, then by all means, go ahead and do it.
It's better to be safe than sorry, yes? Just get it done professionally. Then you won't need to worry.

i pierced my industrial by myself, and it didn't get infected because i bought a bottle of Ear Care Antiseptic from Claire's.. and i cleaned it every night, kept the long bar in my ear for like 4 months, then i changed the bar.
so if you do pierce any of your cartilage yourself, the main thing is to keep it clean, keep the stud/bar/whatever in for a few months, and try not to get hit in the ear because it might rip the piercing out, which will not only hurt like hell but be a waste of time (:
- hope this helped

you can do it your self with out getting an infection if you starilize the needle and the earring and keep it very very very clean for 4-6 weeks

I knew people who have done it themselves, but I'm not sure if I'd reccomend it. I've pierced my ears myself too, but its not the same as cartilage. I had my cartilage perfessionally done and it still turned out crappy. It had a bump where the hole was. And now that the hole is healed there is still a slight bump. Blah. If a perfessiopnal did it, I'm not sure if I would try. That's just my opinion.
Hope my experience helped.
