Ok. so im going to get my upper left cartilage pierced in late may and i was talking to my mom about it she wanted to know a few things that i didn’t know or cant find on the internet.
first, are the earrings you use for cartilage piercing the same size as the normal lobe piercing or are they longer.
secondly, how do you put the earring in, is it like a lobe earring with a back or is it different.
thanks.


If you go to a body piercer, you won’t get one of those “butterfly back” studs. You could get a labret post, with a flat backing, a CBR [captive bead ring], or a circular barbell. If you get the piercing done at a shop, the piercer can teach you how your particular jewelry works.
Okay…
First thing’s first. the earrings are the same for the cartilage and for a regular ear piercing, they are also the same length. [just make sure you start out with a stud and not a hoop or something big.] You put them in the same way too.
btw, I pierced my own cartilage with a regular earring and it worked fine. But I would recommend that you do it yourself because it hurts really bad afterwords.
:]
Hope this helps and the piercing looks great! [:
different piercing parlors uses different earrings. some places uses studs, but when i got mine pierced they used a hoop with a little ball.
and your piercer should put the piercing in for you, so you don’t have to worry about it. if u want to switch earrings, the earring should be the same as a lobe earring. there isn’t any special cartilage earrings.
they’re the same as regular earrings, you can ear earring that have butterfly backs, or you could use labret studs, or cbr’s
Yes, earrings used in cartilage piercing is the same as the normal earrings. It is also placed at the same way.
