Body Piercing

Upper ear cartilage is uncomfortable however it's not eath shattering, if you want the piercing get it done by a pro and you should be fine.

No absolutely not. It could get seriously infected and reject, leaving you with scarring.

There isn't too much you can do. The swelling is natural; your body is healing. If you REALLY need to get it down, you can take an anti-inflammatory like aspirin.

i think its about eighteen

Love.

You'll have to either go back to your piercer/find a piercer to remove it or have a doctor remove it.

It can take 3 - 4 weeks to fully heal. It is one of the fastest healing piercings. Swelling generally lasts for the first 10 - 14 days.

Rinse twice a day with a diluted alcohol-free antimicrobial mouthwash (Tech 2000 or Biotene) & twice a day with saline (1/4 tsp non-iodized sea salt in 8 oz. warm water).

Bleeding after getting a new piercing is normal; a piercing is technically an injury & your body will (usually) heal.

your dumb.the same way

If they're licensed.

The size that is used by a professional body piercer in a licensed and inspected facility that conducts body piercing services. Listen this is not a venue to provide "how to" information that can lead to serious personal injury in the hands of the public.

Wikianswers is not meant for this sort of Q and A.

If you want the piercing done, see a professional and pay the money to get it done right the first time. Once you pierce the tissue and screw it up with your attempt to have a navel piercing, you will have left a professional body piercer and mess to fix and it will never look right or pretty.

See a professional body piercer for your piercing needs. Age limits are there for a reason, generally it has to do with development and maturity to look after a piercing correctly.

Whichever you'd like :)

It means you have good taste!

- To me its just how you want it. I have 3 in one ear and two in the other.

If they let a 14 year old get a piercing without an adult then they probably wouldnt be professional and do a very good job. Im 14 and had it done a while ago, but I had my mum with me. Just try and convince your parents or take a friends parent with you - make sure they wont get in trouble with your parents though.

Tell them that it cures cancer.

If she wants a second piercing she can decide that for herself.

i don't know lol my mom wont let me get any piercings at all

Only if you snag the bar with the heavy object and tear it.

You just slide the backs off if its a stud. If its a ring, pop the ball out and if its a post, unscrew the ball. If they're really tough to get off, try having someone take them off for you and if that doesnt work, go see a piercer.

seems like an outie

yea depends not trying to sound racsit but black people dont look good with it cause I tried it and I had a white friend who had it and it looked nice cant say the same for me :p

I guess it depends on your face shape, and how you wear it, I pierced mine, and I can say sometimes I look trashy with it, because of my dimple piercings, but sometimes it looks nice, if i dress up ! :) Plus, if you wanted one, you can always flip it up and keep it there, that's what I do! :)

Go see a piercer if you can. If you got sick or or were exposed to sick people, that could delay healing. It could also be something with the jewelry. Just go and see if its anything that piercer can help you out with :)

i work as a receptionist in a piercing and tattoo shop and the law says that you must be 16 years old to get your tragus pierced in the uk, with or without parental consent, most places, if they have any doubt of your age they will ask for your passport or another proof of age.

I think any age with parental consent, but you must be 18+ to go and get it done alone, sorry if I'm wrong :D

Well... depending on your body, if u have larger lips a nose ring and bigger nose septum ring
