I want to pierce my cartilage.I'm not afraid ( maybe a little bit ), but when I read all these forums, than I had to ask: should I do it with a gun or a needle ? I have no idea. A lot of people say, that it's safer with a needle, but I'm really afraid of needles, so what to do ?

Depends if you want a bar in your ear or just an earing

Please don't do it yourself. Go to someone who knows what they are doing and uses sterile equipment. You could end up with a nasty infection and very sore ear(s).

If you're under 18, are your parents okay with this? Depending where you live and how old you are, this may be illegal.
