When you have the top of your ear pierced (cartilage) then you are meant to have it done with a needle. You are supposed to have it done with a sterilized needle NOT a gun. If you have it pierced with a gun there is a higher risk it will become infected. When you have it done with a needle all they do is clamp you ear. So you don't feel the pain and then they put the needle through. You can't really feel anything as your ear is clamped. Then they put the earring in your ear. If you were thinking of having your ear pierced at the top i would think of how much pain you can tolerate. It hurts more than a normal ear piercing. It doesn't really hurt in the healing process (Which i was told could be anything up to 6 months) but it only hurts if you bang it. If you bang it then it may hurt for the next day. But it only aches. But i never regretted having mine done its great.
