No it doesn't get pierced through the cartilage. I actually had a woman come in with a septum piercing that was done by a so called "body mods artist", the piercing was done through the cartilage and was causing all sorts of issues for the lady. Piercing the cartilage is actually dangerous in that area and more subject to possible infection. The actual piercing is between the exteriour meatus and the physical cartilage, the web between these structures is only the thickness of a dime, this is the area the piercing should be placed. Any other location and the piercing is done incorrectly. Do your research and be sure your piercing is done by an actual "professional body piercer" working in a licensed and inspected facility (not a kitchen on a Saturday night).

How can you persuade your parents to let you get your bridge collar bones or septum pierced?

I want my collar bones done, and have yet to figure out how to persuade my parents. For septum, tell them it;s not like somewhere else on your face, like nose, eyebrow or monroe, that will scar. Your septum is like your nose (all cartilage) and cartilage can close very very easily.


Why does your septum piercing still hurt sometimes after all these years?

The septum is a very sensitive area of the inner nose. In fact, it is made up of skin and cartilage, which helps keep the passages open for breathing. If you have pierced the septum, it will continue to hurt for several years. This is because it takes a while for the septum to heal on its own.

Can you gauge your ear cartilage?

From what I know, have your cartilage already pierced before you try to gage it. I pierced my own, then once it healed i put a 14 gauge through it. It didn't really hurt but pinched a little.
