I'm a 15 year old male, and i want two piercings in the top of my left ear.( in the cartilage) Can you give me any names of places that are good for a guy to get peircings? Also, is there any problem with getting the two peircings done at the same time? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Chris.
Don't let these people down you. You came here to find out USEFUL information about a valid question, not get dissed by some little girls with nothing better to say.
Anyhow, if you want a piercing, do NOT NOT NOT got o Claires or some mall shop that uses a gun. ESPECIALLY for cartilage. They inflict blunt force trauma and can shatter cartilage, cause scar tissue build up, etc etc. In short, they are bad for your body.
Since you are under 18 you will need to have a parent sign a waiver/permission form for you. Search safepiercing.org or tribalectic.com for piercing studios in your area. Call the places, visit the places, whatever you have to do to feel comfortable. If you get a bad feeling about a shop, leave. Also, do not let price be your sole influence on getting pierced. There is nothing wrong with guys getting pierced. If you really want cartilage, why not go for something a little less ordinary like a conch or forward helix? You can find those pics on the sites I linked. There is no problem with getting 2 piercings at once. It makes you only have to go through the healing process once, which can be 6 months to well over a year for cartilage.
If you have more questions, I moderate on the Tribalectic.com forums and the people on the boards (including piercers) would be more than happy to help answer them.
Good luck man!

Hey! I got my cartilage pierced about 2 years ago, and it did not hurt the way I thought it was going to. But everyone is different, so be prepared for it to be sore. Make sure that you use the stuff they give you for at home care (usually just some stuff you put on your ear with a cotton ball). This will prevent any infections, and keep it healthy. There are tons of places in the mall that do it, I would try (if you have these where you live) Hot Topic, Claires (that's where I did mine), or the Icing.
And since you are 15, you will need someone who is 18 to accompany you.
Good Luck!

I think it would look sexy. I wouldn't get them done at the same time because when I got mine done (only one) it stayed sore and swollen for months. I could only lay on one side for a very long time. It might swell up awfully if you get two holes next to each other. I would do one right now and wait a year to get the other.
When you get it done just make sure you clean it every day, both sides, with a Q-tip dipped in peroxide. Don't take the earring out. You should wait at least a month before you take it out to change it or whatever. You could get the piercing at a shop at the mall or at a tattoo/piercing parlor.

I am a girl and i think that a guy with piercings is sexxi. But let me tell ya. I got 1 done and it hurt like hell so i could only imagine what 2 at once would feel like. It doesnt hurt when its done but later on in the day you will feel it. And the pain usually lasts a couple days.

I have one. It hurt like hell! I have had lots of piercings, lip, nose, nipple, etc and that one hurt 10 times worse than the worst of them all. Just to let you know. If you still want to do it, the best place is called Forbidden Fruit in Austin, TX. You didn't say where you lived though...

If you are going to get your cartlage pierced why don't you get your navel pierced too. Those are two things that will make you look like a f@g.

well... don't let your sister do it... she'll/you'll get distracted...
get the approval of your parents, siblings, girlfriend/s, friends, and be sure that the school you go to allows it
