i'm 16 and I have my Cartilage on the top of my ear pierced...
(if you mean the top of your ear)
my friend pierced it 6 days ago, and my mom doesn't know about it.. it's really easy to hide... although he used a propper piercing needle and put some disinfectant on it before he even thought about doing it
although it's sore even till this day!
I avoid sleeping on it as much as possible cus it hurts still! although it's not as bad.
I sometimes feel bad about getting it done behind my moms back, but if you want it done that bad it's your decision.. Although think about weather you can take the guilt!
It doesn't hurt to pierce and it looks really good, I don't think age matters a great deal... Just think about it alot before you do something you might regret!

well, 12 is a little young. i'm 16 and i'm still trying to talk my mom into letting me get one. maybe she's trying to tell you that now is not the right time. try being patient and seeing where that takes you.

I didn't get my cartilage done until I was 22 and then another one at 23(b-day present to myself :P) Waiting isn't the end of the world! I recall being around your age, maybe a year older, and confidently knowing I would have cartilage piercings, but I also knew it was a ridiculous thing to ask for at my age, patience, when you hit the 16-20 range you'll be able to get what you please mattering on where you live, its not that long of a wait, I promise!

Also, constant badgering your mum is the worst thing you can do, I agree with all the old-timers saying they'd never give in to their kid doing this. The argument of being mature enough just doesn't work at your age, I'm afraid.

you have to be at least 13 with your moms permission, so just wait

Ok im 12 and my mom worked at Piercing Pagoda for 3 years. My mom is going to pierce my cartilage on my ear herself. My mom says that she feels alot more comfortable that way. My mom has told me since i was 10 tht i could get them both pierced when i was 12. Im almost 13 now tho lol. anyways i feel that its ok to get it pierced at 12 i don't have to pay for anything my step father is going to buy the earrings sadly i have to have real gold or my ears get infected so its going to be 40 bucks for 2 real gold earrings. But i don't have to do any responsibilities for mine. i am thinking your mother isn't letting you because she doesn't want to accept the fact that your getting older and when ur more responsible for things it makes them feel old.
Hope this helps

Hi, I just turned 13 and for my birthday I got my helix pierced (the cartilage in my upper ear). I have had no problems with it - I payed an extra $5.00 to buy an aftercare kit which I used in the morning and at night everyday for one week. I evan swam at the beach 5 days later and still no infection occurred. If you are trying to convince a parent you have to show how mature you are and how responsible you can be. To persuade my mum I made a deal with her which meant it was a win/win situation. However I had some issues with my school and from now on I have to have a clear eating in and I must wear a bandand. If I was to do it again, I probably would of waited to school holidays so that while it was in its healing period, it wasn't covered with a bandand ... However I am so happy I got it done and I changed the eating three day's later - I hope this helped (;
