Can you get your industrial pierced if you have your cartilage pierced?

Answer 1

You don't "get your industrial pierced" per se, since no part of the ear is called "industrial". An industrial piercing is just another type of cartilage piercing.

Depending on the anatomy of your upper ear, you could potentially have quite a few piercings there, including an industrial and 1 or more helix piercings. If you already have a helix piercing and your piercer says it won't be in the way when s/he adds 2 holes on either side of it and puts in an industrial barbell, then absolutely, you can keep the helix piercing. Or, if the placement works out just right, you may only need to get a second hole and use that and the hole from your original helix piercing to place an industrial barbell through your ear.

The best thing to do is to see a professional piercer and ask what the best option is based on the shape of your ear and the placement of your existing helix piercing. You could also visit our forum(link is below), post a photo of your ear, and see what piercers and other community members suggest.
