Let me help you out, there are two methods to this piercing. The first is a simple surface barbell piercing that travels under the skin layer between the skin and muscle layer. The second is a process called dermal anchoring where the jewellery ( a dermal anchor ) is placed in a hole created into the skin layer down to the muscle layer, the jewellery has a metal "foot" that "anchors" the jewellery into the skin.
With dermal anchors the problems arise from infection, rejection and snagging of the jewellery which results in nasty scarring and in some cases heavy short term bleeding depending on the placement location. I need to tell you that this is not kid stuff, this is serious body modification and will not be done on anyone who is not an "*adult" (* being the age of majority and considered an adult by your federal government).
Dermal anchoring must be done by an experienced professional body piercer who has received training in the procedure not some clown with a few done on you tube. Dermal anchoring is illegal in some US states so check with your local health inspection office to see if it's legal in your area. Because it's more body modification than body piercing and the dermal anchor can't be removed like normal piercing jewellery can, it's removal must be done by a licensed doctor.
Yes body piercers can not remove dermal anchors without being a licensed doctor in many places and countries (practicing medicine without a license). Surface piercings are just that they have and entry and exit point and are not as nasty to deal with as dermal anchors can be from a piercing stand point. They are less apt to be snagged and can be changed with the aid of a professional body piercer and can be removed without the legal hassles or dermal anchors.
From an infection stand point surface piercings are easier to treat and clean over the dermals but be sure you find and experienced professional body piercer to do the piercing for you. Again this still isn't something you want to try at home, serious life long injuries can result from poor placement and lack of knowledge.

What is the name for a chest piercing?
Chest piercing is known as Sternum piercings. This is a type of body modification. Basically, it involves piercing the skin over your sternum, also known as your breastbone.

How do you take a cartilage piercing out?
Take a cartilage piercing out like any other ear piercing, get a grip of one hand on the jewel part of the earring and the other hand on the backing and slowly pull hand #1 out pushing away from the face. While this is occurring, take hand #2 and push the backing in a twisty motion away from the face. Do NOT take out a cartilage piercing if not in for 1 full year to 1.5 years in the risk of infection. If already infected, contact your physician and have him/her remove it. Do not do so yourself! :) good luck!

What does a hot hard earlobe mean?
Unless you just got a piercing it is very normal for the earlobe to have a hot or warm feeling to it . Otherwise your ear recently was in pain or just got hit by someone or thing. The sensation of being hot and the "distention" or "hardness" in the lobe is an indication of a possible infection. Clean the piercing under warm running water and make sure there is room between the jewellery front and the backing or the stud behind the ear. If the jewellery is too tight then the backing will need to be removed or loosened to allow you to clean the piercing correctly.

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.
How do you take out a lip piercing that got a flat surface in the inside?
it really depends on how the piercing fits together. if its a screw top you need to unscrew it and if its a push in top you need to pull it out. the hardest part is getting a good grip on the inside (the flat disk) without hurting the piercing (if its newish) but once you get a hold of that you either unscrew or pull out the top. then you can take out the backing including the bar
