It hurts likea

I got it done yeaterday and it still hurts... is that normal?

I've had mine done yesterday... umm is it normal for it to still hurt... because it does.. like when will the pain acctually go away? I got it done and when I did I didn't feel anything... but now it hurts... umm.. well how do you know when it's infected to?
1) supposed to hurt?
2) infection?

I just got boths sides done and they are doing great.

OK I have a?. im getting my cartilage pierced for my birthday but I have 2 schedule it around my sporting events... I play soccer so I was wondering if I got it pierced right after my season ends (around may 25-june 4) would I hve enough time to heal before I had 2 start again (late July early august)?

I'm scared to get mine done and I want to know at claires in the liberty tree mall do they do a good job and does it hurt bad

I got my cartilage done twice with a needle and just yesterday I got my tragus pierced at the same tattoo shop. Honestly it doesn't hurt as bad as you'd think. Of course this depends on your pain treshold, but even then the initial pain only lasts a min. And you'll be sore for a week or so, longer with the tragus. But I'd say it's worth it. I wouldn't get it done with a gun because it's potencially more dangerous, because it can shatter or otherwise damage your cartilage. Yes, getting it done with a needle sounds morbid, and might be a little more painful because the process takes a little longer, but it's not that bad and it's so worth it! Salt water is an excellent way to clean your piercings! There's this spray called H2Ocean that you can buy and it's great! My ears have never been infected. I think some people choose the mall because they think it will be quicker and less painful, but the piercers at tattoo shops are safe and efficient at what they do. Plus in my opinion hoops look better than studs. So I'd definitely recommend getting your cartilage pierced at a tattoo shop. I hope this helps!

I had mine done with a gun about 2 months ago, and itz doing good, no infections and it doesn't hurt at all!

Really I just got my left cartilage pierced and I went to a tattoo place and they used the needle and they told me that you should wash it well 3 times a day and I laughed when I got mine done, so. It honestly doesn't hurt.. sooo goodluck. :)

I'm so afraid it will get infected help me!! And my mom wants it to be safe is it?? Which one hurts more needle or gun!! Helpppp urgg haha

Ok me and a few of my friends will be qhettinq the top cartilage part of our ears peirced and iWanted to honestly know how it feels. One of my friends got the bottom part of her ear double peirced and she said they will use a pinch gun ithink its called. But iHeard many different answers so iWant the honest answer.

iWant to know the same thinq because many are sayinq the gun hurts more and is more unsafe. But then others say the needle is more painful but heels faster. I'd prefer to use the gun because it is over with faster. The needle has to be pushed into your ear carefully. But Good luck =)

I really want mine done but a lot of people keep saying its very painful with a neddle. That's the only way I can have it done I'm scared!

Anyone want to talk about it?

I g0t mines done yesterday and I did it by myself. It really doesn't hurt as long as you don't sleep on it or irritate it. I pierced it by myself.Good luck!

I got mines done with a gun a month ago, it didn't hurt it just stung for a bit afterwards. But if you do get it done, don't sleep on it, because it hurts like hell the morning after and can start getting red and swollen because that's what happened to me. But most piercers do pierce with needles now,so its they obvioulsy think it's better and safer. I don't imagine it would be that sore.

I got my cartilage pierced a little over a year ago and my ear is still red and puss comes out of it still... I always soaked it once a day with salt and warm water as they told me too in the beginning and I just stopped soaking it in September and its December now... I also changed the earring too a stud where as it was a hoop before.. I don't know if I should go to the place where I got it pierced so that they can see if there is something wrong or if its just part of the healing process.. I don't know what to do?

I think if you soaked it in warm salt water for 10 minutes it should heal? Maybe check what type of material is your earing is. If it is cheap metal that could be the problem or something like that. Mine is sterling silver and I have no problems.
