I got mine at my closest tattoo shop, I was a little nervous obviously. I went in and I don't really know what I was scared of because it was so quick it wasn't even painful for me and I'm not good with pain usually... I guess it's different for everyone but its nothing to worry about in my opinion.

I got it done way back in middle school years, it was in my left ear, my experiences was bad, It got really affected by the next day, & I was told not to take off the earing for about 3-4 month, so about a week later it got better, and 4 month later I took off the earing and my pierced closed right away! I was so mad, but that's only me. Everyone I know still has theirs pierced

I currently have my industrial which is a cartilage one I believe and I almost fainted it is because the industrial required a needle.But had a regular one done a couple of years ago just with the gun but I took it out early.The skin there is really different to normal lobe and will close up easier but it did not hurt that much,could not sleep on that side for a while but was totally worth it and will be getting it re-done soon,all I can say it don't leave it out too long because even after having it for a while it will close up if you leave it out too long :( I got mine done at my local piercing shop called the purple shop :)

And yes when you get it pierced I doubt you will feel anything it wasn't really painful

I just heard a little pop and felt a little pinch. The pain comes later. I saw on the news that your cartilage is the most infection prone area to get pierced. Mine deff got infected. My ear swelled up. I had to take it out. I got it re done and it didnt get as infected but still did. It stays sore forever. I kept it in for a couple years but it was always sore. I had a much better experience getting both my Tragus pierced. It hurt more to get done but they heeled faster and won't hurt forever. I've had my Tragus earrings in for 6 years

It gets infected! It's terrible and painful and totally not worth it!

I have high pain tolerance but the industrial piercing was my worst nightmare.. I always said that was one piercing I would not remove.

I got my cartilage piercing when I was 10 lol. I got it at the mall at a piercing booth. I have it on my left ear. it hurt and was red but it was worth it. just take care of it, clean it like you should and you should be okay. I rarely ever wear an earring in it and it's still open after 8yrs lol.

Easy! I have my tragus and my helix done and both healed well with no problems and didn't hurt, just a sort of pop.
