The best way to tell if your ear cartilage is cracked after having it pierced, is to feel it. If you feel a gap or if it is very sore weeks after, it might be cracked.
An ear piercing gun sounds like a stapler. I had my ears pierced at Claire's recently and they are great at it. It's over in 5 seconds. its a small plastic gun and they position it at the ear lobe/cartilage and click its over!
Really it all depends on who pierces you ear and what they use. (needle or gun) Everyone's pain tolerance us different.
normally if you go to a chemist to have your ears pierced they just use a little gun.. it is quite painless.
Guns are illegal for any age in England, unless you are a police officer.
No, I got mine done with a gun, but it hurt like heck. It's also a more painful healing process, so i would get it done with a needle.
Any body piercing shop or tattoo shop that offers piercing services or Claire's. But, I have to say, it is preferable to get your cartilage pierced with a needle because a gun can shatter your cartilage.
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.
Well considering that ear piercing guns are not (by law) to be used for piercing anything other than ear lobes for hygene and safety reasons. Do what ever you feel like doing, it's not right, it's not safe, it's illegal, but hey it's your health.
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.
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.
Yes, it is illegal to possess ANYTHING that is illegal.
