If your body piercer accidentally pierced through a vein during a cartilage piercing and it bleeds every once in awhile is this safe?
The piercer should have shined a light behind the ear to view veins in the ear. Piercing through a vein increases likelihood of infection and can be incredibly painful. Also, it's much less likely to heal correctly. I doubt that is safe. Anything punched thru your veins can't be good. I would suggest letting the hole close then getting it redone by someone who knows what they are doing. Well As The First Person Is Right..It All Depends On How Much It Bleeds If It Bleeds Alot (atlease a big dot of blood on your tissue) Then You Should Take It Out But If It Bleeds Only A Little Its Safe To Keep It In.

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.
Why is there dead skin around your newly pierced cartilage?
Is it dead skin or dried discharge, if you have questions about how your piercing is healing you should go back and see your piercer for assistance.
Does the septum get pierced through the cartilage?
No it doesn't get pierced through the cartilage. I actually had a woman come in with a septum piercing that was done by a so called "body mods artist", the piercing was done through the cartilage and was causing all sorts of issues for the lady. Piercing the cartilage is actually dangerous in that area and more subject to possible infection. The actual piercing is between the exteriour meatus and the physical cartilage, the web between these structures is only the thickness of a dime, this is the area the piercing should be placed. Any other location and the piercing is done incorrectly. Do your research and be sure your piercing is done by an actual "professional body piercer" working in a licensed and inspected facility (not a kitchen on a Saturday night).

How long does it hurt to get the top of your ears pierced?
Well if it's done by a professional body piercer, the discomfort will be very short lived maybe a bit tender off and on for a few hours. Done with a piercing gun the discomfort can be several days long, because the piercing gun is not meant to be used to piercer ear cartilage, nor is the stud designed for be used in cartilage piercings.
What risks are there of cartilage piercing?
When using a piercing gun (such as those they use at Claires) the collapse of your ear cartilage is a possibility. Also, with any piercing, there is the chance of infection if not cleaned properly as instructed by your piercer.
Is bleeding during cartilage piercing normal?
A little bleeding is to be expected with cartilage piercings, the incision in the cartilage needs to be larger than the jewellery gauge going into the piercing, this is to allow the skin to heal between the jewellery and the cartilage. Excessive bleeding is an indication your piercer didn't candle the cartilage before doing the piercing to see where the veins are located on both sides of the cartilage.
What is the percentage of side effects for a cartilage piercing?
90% of professionally pierced ear cartilage piercings work out without any issues, these are piercings done by a professional body piercer using aseptic techniques. 70% of ear cartilage piercings done with a piercing gun in a mall or hair salon result in bumps, lumps and healing issues, these are piercings performed by untrained and unlicensed individuals using piercing guns on areas they are not permitted to pierce but they do it any way.
Can only certain types of navels be pierced?

What piercing hurts more. A tragus rook or snug?
Well considering the tight quarters you have the piercer working in, they can be uncomfortable but not unbearable. We are of course talking about having it done correctly by a professional body piercer and not some joker with a piercing gun. All cartilage is over pierced (or should be) which is to say the piercing is done with a needle one size bigger than the jewellery entering the piercing. this is so the cartilage will allow the skin to heal around the newly formed piercing between the cartilage and the jewellery going into the piercing. So sort term localized minor bleeding should be expected. Other than that it's pretty straight forward from a piercers prospective and therefore easy for you to handle. Yes I read your notes! Cheers.
