Hey everyone, My mom is finally letting me get my cartlidge pierced after about 4 years of asking btw 14/f. Well I am really scared actually. Does it hurt worse than your earlobe? I have finaly came up with the courage because if girls my age can go and get their nose and belly button pierced this should be simple. I'm still scared though I mainly wanna know though is does it hurt that bad and does it hurt/ feel the same as just getting your earlobles peirced? because all my friends that have theirs pierced say it didnt hurt at all! Please help. Thaks(:

I thought the earlobe hurt worse (I had my 1st ear percing when I was about 5 months old) and had my 2nd and my cartilage last year. You have to clean it 2-3 times a day untill it heals. You are NOT suppose to sleep on it for the firt couple of weeks and or monthes(depending on once again how sensitive your ears are). Last but not least they sould and always ask you which side do you sleep on. If you sleep on you left side you have to get the percing on the right and if you sleep on the right side you have to get it on the left side.

I have mine pierced in three places, it is not fun, it hurts a lot, when they push the needle in it makes this horrible popping noise too. It also takes a long time to heal, I had mine pierced in August of last year and it healed 9 months later. You have to clean it constantly, try not to touch it a lot and don't clean it with rubbing alcohol, use salt water on a cotton swab, it's not too fun but I am very glad I did it, it looks awesome (: [ smileydino's advice column | Ask smileydino A Question ]

Cartilage piercings can take up too 6 months to fully heal, At first it will sting and yes, It will hurt more then getting your ears pierced. Your ears are just flab, Your upper ear is a more sensitive part. If by any chance during the time after your piercing you experience pus or swelling. (These are signs of an infection) It would need to be taken out. Just make sure you clean it, You should be fine. Whatever you do, Do not touch it and do not play with it!
