I have a conch(and yes, it was more painful than any of my other piercings...I've got 3 other cartilage piercings, both sides of my nose, both sides of my lip, navel..and than normal lobes, and stretched lobes), but not an anti-tragus. I think whether you get one side or both is up to you...try one side first, and than decide later if you want the other side also, since it'll be easier to sleep..I don't think only one side looks stupid though. Cartilage takes about a year to heal completely, and it's prone to hypertrophic scarring. Hopefully someone who has one can come along and help you out more... lil, helix piercings are commonly just referred to as 'cartilage piercings', that's what I'm thinking she meant by cartilage... but yeah the anti-tragus is a cartilage piercing also..
