First of all let me say that all piercings hurt no matter what they are being done with. Cartilage piercings will hurt even worse because it is so hard. It would take a while to get a knife through it. Also, a knife will not create a clean hole that is symmetrical. And don't forget that you risk getting an infection. I suggest going to a professional. You can get it done at most Walmarts or Claires for pretty cheap. Good Luck!

Is Cartilage more brittle than Bone?

Cartilage, as a rule, is the slowest healing tissue in the human body. The reason for this is the virtual absence of blood flow in this tissue. Most of the nutrition for cartilage comes from synovial fluid, the lubricating fluid in most of our joints. There are other types of cartilage in the body such as hyaline cartilage, forming the connection in the front of the rib cage. This type is also considered avascular, meaning without blood supply. Bones on the other hand heal much faster than most tissues because of their rich supply of blood. The blood carries the nessecary building blocks required in the healing process.
