I have 3 piercings (non-cartilage) on both of my ears and I plan to get 2 cartilage piercings per ear. My friend said this can affect my health greatly; is this true?

I am a professional piercer...and as long as you keep your piercings clean they will not effect your health negatively at all.

Cartilage piercings become arthritic and really hurt over time I have several. If you pierce the cartilage the scar tissue becomes sensitive to cold weather and almost throbs. If I had to do it again I would not. I am 38 now and wish I did not do it.

I have heard that as well. You might want to check with a doctor. I had my ear pierced twice in the cartlilage. I developed a small brownish mole just above the piercings. It was actually kind of pretty. But, it itched like crazy. I took out the earrings and the mole disappeared. But, so did the itching. Hmmm?

Im not sure.. I havent heard anything and cartilage peircings "greatly" affecting your health. The most I have heard would be the cartilage peircings might just cause some scarring(sp?) But could be wrong.

Any piercing can do harm to your body as well as tattoos. No one can in advance tell you if you will be among one of those who will have a lifetime troubles from it. I do not recommend you to make piercing at all. Our medical student Pumpkin gives you bad advices to tell you that it is harmless, as medical data banks tells different stories about what piercing can do to you.
Your friend is vice, it can really effect your health greatly.

After people use them for couple of years more, they will find out that it´s abnormal to get piercings, and that the body reacts to thos invading objects in a non'pleasant manner.
Wait and see.

You're friend is listening to hearsay. Don't believe anything unless you research it yourself.
End of story.
