Hey can you guys tell me if I get my ear cartilage pierced with a gun will hurt?
I was thinking about getting it done at claire's but I'm not sure if a needle will hurt more.
Help me!!

Getting any piercing done at claire's is not good because the guns they use can't be cleaned properly and will always have someone else's bacteria on them...
Piercing with a gun doesn't really hurt but it hurts less with a needle and the shock of the gun can sometimes damage the cartilage...

Oh and about the age, any age between maybe 15 up would be good although some people do it younger and prefer it older

Don't get the cartalige done with a gun because it can shatter your cartilage as horrble as that sounds! Use the needle!
