Should i or shouldnt i?
i am getting my cartdilage peirced, and i want to know if i should get my tragus done too? Im aasking because i really dont want an infenction. and i heard it alot of times gets infected. and im not afraid of getting it done, not at all. but i dont want to get an infection. I heard it is normal for the pericing to get sore after a few days after getting it done. But the thing is it would be a pain if i got an infection. I heard for the peircing to full heal it takes anywhere from 7-12 monthes for it to heal. and i have spring soccer in abut 3 monthes, and we always have to take out our peircings even if they are studs. (hopefully they will make an exception :) lol) but i really, really want it done. But is it worth it? and how do i clean it? can i touch it? HOW DO I KEEP IT STERILE (IF I WANT TO GET IT DONE) SO I DO NOT RISK AN INFECTION? and should i get a stud or hoop? thankkkkkk you xoxo

When my mom got her Cartdilage pierced it hurt her like crap, which its good you don't mind but she has had hers done for 2 years and everyday it hurt her and it stayed infected, she couldn't sleep on that side for the two years she had it because it hurt so bad! So she finaly had to take it out and let it grow in. Hope this helps(:!

I've had both and haven't had any infections.
Basically, go to a piercer you trust. They will explain the aftercare to you and make sure you follow it! Just cleaning it once/twice a day with sea salt soaks is what I did - putting all these ointments on it is a huge no no, because they just get trapped in the wound and can cause more harm than good.
Refrain from touching it - there's no need to touch it while it's healing, unless you're cleaning it - always wash your hands before handling a fresh piercing.
Healing time is different for everyone. My tragus was fine in a few weeks, yet my cartilage took about a year for it to be fully okay.
I suggest getting studs - they move around less and are easier to deal with (they don't get caught as much when you brush your hair etc)
and about your spring soccer, ask if you can put a plaster over it? If you aren't allowed, it should still be okay as long as you remember to put it straight back in after.
Any other questions, feel free to ask. :)
