Did this a week ago… didn’t hurt to get it pierced but hurts afterwards when cleaning or if you bump it or lay on it. I’ve had no problems so far.
How to cartilage piercing
How I did it: This year for my birthday I got my first official piercing. My mom took me to the piercing parlor after school one day and suprised me with a cartalige piercing. The first 15 minutes of waiting whil the piercer autoclaved the needle and jewalry was the worst. Then when I went into the room and the guy cleaned my ear and the without a warning shouved the needle through my ear and put the jewalry through. It did not hurt as much as I had expected, though I was in shock. And It was pretty painless the rest of the evening.
Lessons & tips:
- Keep it clean and DON'T stop turning the jewalry. (mine got stuck and it really hurt)
- Do salt soaks. This helps heal it faster. (1 cup water 1/4 tsp SEA Salt, NOT table salt)
- Do not sleep on thats side 4 a while.... believe me it hurts.
- Watch out for dodge balls in gym.
- Get a bar bell, or labret instead of a CBR (captive bead ring) it will be more coumfertable for sleeping.
