No, not everyone gets it. Usually, its hypertropic scarring, which is treatable. Its usually caused by friction from poor fitting jewelry or constantly touching/hitting the piercing.

How can you tell if your cartilage has been shattered by a piercing?
There will be bumps in the cartilage near the piercing. It is better to be pierced with a needle.
Is it better to pierce with a needle or gun?
The Needle. Using The Gun To Pierce Like For Example Your Cartilage In Your Ear, The Cartilage Might Shatter And Youll Feel Tiny Bumps Around Your New Piercing, Thatll Mean You Have Shattered Your Cartilage. So In My Opinion For Choosing What To Pierce With I Would Have To Say A Hollow Piercing Needle :)
How do I get rid of bumps next to cartilage piercings?
Well getting rid of the bumps involves understanding how they got there in the first place. If the piercing was done with a piercing gun, then there's your culprit. See ear cartilage piercings done with a piercing gun (which they are not supposed to do but they do it any way) damages the fine tissue* (*perichondrium ) between the cartilage and the back skin of the ear cartilage, this tearing action pulls the layer away from the cartilage and thus the lump is formed.Often referred to as Cauliflower Ear, this is the damage done to the ear cartilage when boxers would not wear protective head gear and the gloves would contact the ear cartilage skin tearing it free from the cartilage damaging the perichondrium in the process.Removing ear studs and replacing the studs with captive bead rings and irrigating the piercings daily during showering has allowed the tissue to settle and in some cases reattach to the cartilage, this can take several weeks to notice a marked change in the lumps.Another cause for lumps on ear cartilage is a process call a "Hypertrophic Reaction". This is where a irritant is introduced into the piercing causing the tissue to swell up and form a lump next to the piercing. Generally due to over use of a cleaning produce used to clean the piercing, the over use causes this reaction to occur. Simple flushing of the piercing with warm running water daily during showering while moving the jewellery has been very successful in removing the irritant and the bumps diminishing in size over several weeks.
What is the percentage of side effects for a cartilage piercing?
90% of professionally pierced ear cartilage piercings work out without any issues, these are piercings done by a professional body piercer using aseptic techniques. 70% of ear cartilage piercings done with a piercing gun in a mall or hair salon result in bumps, lumps and healing issues, these are piercings performed by untrained and unlicensed individuals using piercing guns on areas they are not permitted to pierce but they do it any way.
What will happen if my ear cartilage is shattered pierced by gun swollen for three days tiny bumps above the piercing?
NEVER take it out, the infection will grow if you do, you'll have to have the infection surgically drained. Guns will shatter cartilage, but that doesn't mean it's done it to you. You may have drainage bumps. You need to soak it in salt water for 15 minutes, twice a day till it heals. NEVER clean it with alcohol. And have the jewelery changed, because it is suffocating the piercing.

What are the risks of getting your cartilage pierced?
Infection, contracting blood-borne diseases, and cartilage collapsing. If you go to a reputable shop, there's a seriously low chance of contracting a blood-borne disease. Same goes for infection but infection also depends on how you care for the piercing. Cartilage collapses when you get an infection or keloid .
How do they peirce the cartilage on a ear?
The best way to pierce ear cartilage (or any cartilage) is with a needle. Using a piercing gun (a machine which fires a sharpened stud through tissue) is generally a bad idea as they tend to crack the surrounding cartilage because guns were not designed to pierce cartilage. This cracking results in a longer healing time, more pain, and can cause wonky piercings and increase your chance of keloids (bumps of scar tissue around the piercing). So, with a needle the procedure is simple. A straight, bevelled, medical grade needle, usually 14 or 16 gauge is pushed through the ear. The jewellery then slides through afterwards. Easy.
Is it normal for red lumps to appear beside each ball of a new piercing?
Its most likely hypertrophic scarring. If the bumps are around the ball of the piercing, it sounds like the jewelry is too short. Try wearing something a bit longer, just not too long. Long enough to take pressure off of the bumps. Don't try to pop the bubble and avoid hitting or playing with the piercing. You can tea tree oil to dry out the bumps. Dab a little bit on them after you clean the piercing in the morning and leave it on there all day. Then rinse it off when you clean the piercing at night. You don't want it to get inside of the piercing itself, just on the bumps. Don't use too much or it'll dry out the piercing. You can apply it twice a day if it doesnt dry out the piercing. Since You caught it early, it should go away within a week or two. If it doesn't don't worry, everyones body is different.
