It's "bad" to get any piercing with a gun. But, it's a quite practiced technique in Wal*Marts and local malls now a days, but I got mine done with a gun, and have had no problem stretching them or anything. Just keep them clean, and rotate them twice a day. You shouldn't have any problems at all.

Well if it's done by a piercing gun lots can go wrong. If it's done by a professional body piercer the problems are much less. Piercing guns are not to be used to pierce anything other than ear lobes so that being said in the hands of a pro following the aftercare you should have no issues.

Why is it so bad to get the top of your ear pierced with a gun?
Its not bad to get your ear pierced with a gun, all my mates have got it done and some adults i know have got it done and they have had it done since they wer young and they got it done with a gun and there is nothing wrong with it! In most countries the use of piercing guns for anything other than ear lobes is a direct violation of health regulations. Piercing guns are not designed nor intended to pierce the cartilage because due to the manner in which the piercing stud tears the skin and punctures the cartilage it doesn't allow room for the skin to heal around the punctured cartilage, leaving the cartilage available for infiltration by bacteria and infection.
What could cause the cartilage of your ear to hurt?
Okay so if you have your cartilage pierced, some things could be it's infected because when you slept, your ear rubbed against whatever you were sleeping on and that could be it or you could have not cleaned it well with whatever you chose or whatever your piercer told you to clean it with. Another could be that the piercer didn't sterilize the needle or gun he/she pierced it with. If it's not pierced then you could have bumped it against something and now its sore.
After several months of having the upper ear cartilage pierced it still hurts. Is there supposed to be a small dent where the stud has been?
Pain and discomfort are part and parcel of getting the cartilage pierced with a piercing gun. The piercing gun user knows that they are not allowed to pierce ear cartilage with a piercing gun. Properly done cartilage piercing done by a professional body piercer would have been healed by now. The swelling is due to the stud backing being too close to the skin and not allowing the piercing to drain or breath properly.
