PIERCING of the cartilidge?

Question

how do you pierce your own cartiilidge safettly without infection?? TELL ME.! AND ILL BE HAPPY

Answer 1

do not do it do it by yourself. why can't you go some where and get it done. it will hurt a lot more if you do it your self. i got it done at this one place and had no infection. later my friend tried it herself and it did not look good after that.

i know this from experience

Answer 2

There really isn't a way to pierce your own cartilage safely unless you can find a sterilized surgical needle and sterilized jewelry. Don't use a piercing gun. The jewelry used in a gun is too blunt and can lead to really ugly consequences. I would really get it professionally done at a piercing place. I know it's probably not the answer you wanted, but after seeing a friend of mine with an infection that grew to the size of a marble...I wouldn't take any chances.

Answer 3

Most places like Claire's and the Icing will pierce the cartilage part of your ear with a gun--- Piercing guns are ONLY GOOD FOR EAR LOBES. Don't use the gun on the cartilage part. I would def suggest going to a tattoo/piercing place that use a needle. They put a cork on the other side of the ear and push the needle thru. It's a lot more sanitary since they throw the needle away and is much more exact.

Answer 4

I went to a professional and had two different cartilidge piercings in my ear and had to still let them grow up because of infection.

Answer 5

Have you only tried 1 ear? I know it sounds weird, but I, and lots of friends of mine have tried one ear, and it became infected, then pierced the other ear and never had any problems.

Answer 6

with a piercing gun. make sure you use alcohol to sterilize everything, even the site you are piercing.

Answer 7

i dont think you can do it yourself safely..cartilage is too thick...go to a professional
