It depends what earring you pick. Mines cost 45$
The barbell earring that goes on the upper part of your cartilage is called an "industrial" piercing, but some people also call it a "scaffold" piercing.
To open a ball hoop cartilage earring, gently grasp the ball on one end and twist it while pulling it away from the hoop. This will create a small gap in the hoop, allowing you to remove or insert it into your cartilage piercing. Be careful not to apply excessive force to avoid damaging the earring. Once it's open, you can easily put it in or take it out.
You put an earring in a pierced hole in the earlobe or other parts of the ear, such as the cartilage. The most common location is the earlobe, but earrings can also be placed in various positions along the outer ear. After inserting the earring through the hole, it should be secured with a backing to keep it in place.
The sensation is a bit more intense because you are getting two piercings in one sitting and it's done with a needle not a gun. so it should be not too bad about the same as the cartilage piercing.
6 weeks for lobe. 12 weeks for cartilage. That's if done with a hollow needle. With a gun, even longer.
For cartilage piercings, it's best to use earrings made of materials that are hypoallergenic and comfortable, such as titanium, surgical stainless steel, or gold. Common styles include hoops, studs, or barbells, with the choice often depending on personal preference and the specific location of the piercing. It's important to ensure that the earring has a smooth finish to prevent irritation during healing.
Take it back to the shop
There is no link on the page for this product. However the 16 Gauge 5/16 Inches -Solid 14KT White Gold 3mm Cubic Zirconia Earring Body Jewelry is safe for use anywhere on the ear including the tragus, cartilage and ear lobe.
You should NOT get your cartilage pierced at any other place aside from a tattoo parlor. No piercings should be done without a hollow needle as a regular needle will push the skin and cartilage that is being pierced to the back of your ear causing infection, swelling, and an all out gross looking ear. I highly suggest that you go to a tattoo parlor and get it done professionally. It will cost anywhere from10-40 dollars depending on where you go and if you have an earring to go in it. The earring should be steel as it is hypoallergenic. Sources: I'm a piercer and I have a lot of experience and I have many piercings including my cartilage. Hope this helps. --------------------------------------------------- Improved answer: I dont understand why everyone says not to get it done at Claire's. I got my cartilage done at Claire's and it was PERFECTLY FINE. It was $33 for the earring, piercing, and ear cleaner fluid. My ear did NOT get infected and nothing bad happened at all. Personally tattoo parlors are pretty scary.... Everyone at Claire's are nice and friendly Sources: Got my cartilage pierced at Claire's
