This post is going to be different from all my other posts, it's kind of a tutorial, but its not about makeup, hair, or fashion I'm going to tell you how to pierce your cartilage!
I pierced my cartilage myself, and it was successful, it didn't get infected, and it looks so cute! so, I'm going to tell you how I did it!
(This is my ear by the way)
Things you'll need:
Alcohol wipes
Ice
piercing earring (not a needle)
1. I got a special piercing earring, that's sharp at the end. You don't want to pierce it with a needle and then take the needle out to put the earring in.
this is what the piercing earring looks like:
2. Before piercing anything, the first thing I did was sterilize everything, I wiped off the whole earring, and the earring back with an alcohol wipe
3.I numbed my ear with a lot of ice, and this can take awhile, but it's worth it because you don't feel a thing!
4. Mark a small dot on my ear, with a marker, where I wanted to pierce it
5. Hold ice next to the dot, while I put the point of the earring on the dot
6. Start to push the earring through, but keep holding the ice there, if the ice starts to melt get more ice
7. It helps to turn the earring while pushing it through, and you don't just want to stab it through your ear, because that could damage your cartilage
8. When the earring is all the way through, you can take the ice away, and put the back on the earring
9. Clean your piercing everyday
