Do you have to have a stud pierce on your cartilage on the ear when you first get it?
no. if you are not prone to irritation or infection you should be ok. Many people do though, because they are not sure how they're cartilage will react to a strange metal and they just want to be on the safe side. cartilage piercings are also not changed as often as earlobe piercings and so people like to choose a fancier stud or ring.

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.
Can you get your ear pierced at the top of age 11?
Yes you can, however this can not be done with a piercing gun. This needs to be done by a professional body piercer in a licensed peircing facility. Piercing guns are not intended to nor are they designed to pierce ear cartilage, infact in most places it is illegal ( by local health regulations ) for anyone to use the piercing gun to pierce anything other than the lower ear lobe. The piercing stud will actually "break" the ear cartilage in stead of cut it like a piercing needle would, this breaking can lead to various forms of disfigurement of the ear cartilage requiring the services of a plastic surgeon to repair. Any location using a piercing gun to pierce upper ear cartilage is doing so in violation with most health regulations and the manufacturers instruction. Doing it doesn't make it right or legal.

What ear should you pierce for upper ear cartilage?
Its better to get it on which ever ear you don't sleep on or talk on the phone with to make healing easier. I'd put it on the less attractive ear. It'll distract from weird cartilage folds and whatnot. No such thing as a "gay ear".

The Needle. Using The Gun To Pierce Like For Example Your Cartilage In Your Ear, The Cartilage Might Shatter And Youll Feel Tiny Bumps Around Your New Piercing, Thatll Mean You Have Shattered Your Cartilage. So In My Opinion For Choosing What To Pierce With I Would Have To Say A Hollow Piercing Needle :)
How do they peirce the cartilage on a ear?
The best way to pierce ear cartilage (or any cartilage) is with a needle. Using a piercing gun (a machine which fires a sharpened stud through tissue) is generally a bad idea as they tend to crack the surrounding cartilage because guns were not designed to pierce cartilage. This cracking results in a longer healing time, more pain, and can cause wonky piercings and increase your chance of keloids (bumps of scar tissue around the piercing). So, with a needle the procedure is simple. A straight, bevelled, medical grade needle, usually 14 or 16 gauge is pushed through the ear. The jewellery then slides through afterwards. Easy.
How do you remove the ball from a cartilage piercing using a stud?
To remove the ball from a cartilage piercing stud, you can usually twist the ball in a counterclockwise direction until it loosens and comes off. If it's too tight, gently grip the ball with a pair of clean, sterile tweezers to give you extra leverage for twisting. Be careful not to apply too much force to avoid hurting yourself or causing irritation to the piercing.
