I got my cartilage done at Claire’s some days ago. I clean my ear a lot and have even taken out the piercing and deep cleaned the whole and haven’t seen any signs of infection. To me, it’s all about how well you take care of your piercing.
Alicia Christopher they might of healed up fine but there is always a risk of shattering the cartilage and it getting infected plus getting it done with a needle isn’t even that much more money or pain sis 😭
Sydney George thank you 😊 and it took like 4 weeks i think, to get a for sure answer i would watch the updated video I posted, I just know it healed faster than they said it would
Well, you were lucky your piercing healed fine with a gun. Piercings should be done with a needle, which removes the tissue that the piercing doesn't need. Guns just insert the earring, which is not suitable to make the hole. I speak from my experience, when i got my helix piercing done at a pharmacy 15 years ago. It is not safe, the place is not hygienic and the staff at claires are NOT professional piercers. I would suggest looking at Roly's videos on RUclips, who knows a lot about it.
Bless ur ears,piercing with gun can damage ur cartilage it’s like forcing the stud to pass through ur ears without any warnings and it shocked ur ears,ive got mine pierced with needle it hurt nothing more than just poking fingernails to ur hand
people always say you shouldn’t get both sides done on the same day because both sides will hurt but idc lol😭 the piercings look so good!! can’t wait to get mine too :)
baby taehyung yes i got it pierced with a gun. I did not have any problems with keloids . I have had friends get a cartilage piercing with a needle and they developed keloids so i think it just really depends on how much scar tissue your body produces.
@@anabel_0681 It uses one of those disposable mechanisms that you insert the earring into a chamber, and then press something to push it straight through the ear
I recommend going to a professional piercing area, they will do your ear with a needle so if you did get it with a gun instead it COULD snap your cartilage.
Jessie Rosalina Yes she did since Claire’s only use guns. I was thinking of going to Claire’s to get my cartilage done but I changed my mind and I’ll go to a professional
yes they used a gun, I heard you aren't suppose to use a gun but yolo. I just felt that if it didn't turn out right I would just let it heal but it healed and turned out great.
MELANIE PADRON The problem isn’t the fact that it doesn’t heal. It does heal even faster than with a needle. The Gun can shatter the cartilage, and the gun doesn’t take any cartilage away instead stretches it. And a cartilage piercing takes about 9 Months to heal.
I got my in late May 1999. It was my sister that she has her redone and she paid for mine cartridge piercing. I was a little bit nervous to get it. It was painful gun piercing. It was about the same as pain level as getting one of those piercing holes from an industrial piercing. I gotten a second one next to the first one. That one didn’t hurt at all. It was liked butter with the needle. I got it done late July 2021 on the left ear,too. I have my industrial piercing since late September 2019. Even both ears with a conch piercing. One was 2 years ago and the other was done on May 10th,2022. One was more pressure and the other one was a little bit of pain. I even had both lobes pierced 3 times during the 90’s. Those were done by a gun. Claire’s was cheapest with piercings back then. Even in 1994 and 95 it was under a different name. The store was called Afterthoughts and I noticed Claire’s on the jewelry for earrings. I started a little bit late for me. In my teens that I never thought of getting my ears pierced. I was 24 years old on getting my 1st piercings on my lobes in August 1994. Right now that I have 6 piercings on both of my ears. I’m a pretty cool 53 year old gal. I do looked young for my age,too.
I got my cartilage done at Claire’s a couple weeks ago and it’s doing great! But since I got it done at Claire’s and not at a piercing place how do I change it out when it’s ready? Do I do it myself? That’s my main question.
I got my cartilage done at Claire's five years ago. They took a long time to heal because I'm old but they haven't bothered me since they healed and they look cute.
Got mine done today. Got two in the same ear on my cartilage. They are only supposed to do one per ear but the girl Who did it said she would do it for me (: but it didn’t hurt at all. The top one hurt more but the one below didn’t at all
I had my cartilage pierced by a gun two weeks ago and it’s healed just fine PS I know two weeks is a little bit but that is what the professional piercer said to do
cartilage piercings don’t heal in 2 weeks, they take 6-12 months... piercing it with a gun can shatter your cartilage or make you at higher risk or a keloid+infection. I hope yours is ok though!
Your recommended to wait until your fourteen, just because that's when your cartilage has fully formed or grown but it's fine if not, it's just recommended for better healing
I just got my cartilage pierced yesterday at Claire’s and now I’m freaking out reading all the negative things about getting it done there. I want to take it out now and just let the hole heal up. Can anyone tell me if it would be too soon to take it out and let it heal??? 😭😭
i’m getting my cartilage today at claire’s and my friends keep saying not to use a gun ahhh. but at a tattoo place it’s so expensive. what are your thoughts
@hrrys cloud fun !! aftercare is definitely a big part with the piercing, but overall soo excited for you :) they will say to clean it four times a day but only do three, morning, afternoon, night. also i reccomend sleeping on the other side ur getting it done on
@hrrys cloud oh soo cool!! happy for u :)) and yeah ive had mine for about a week so now i can sorta sleep on the side of the piercing but i chose not to
I wanna get mine done with a gun but I hear a lot of people saying it's not good to. Should I get mine done with a gun or just go to a body piercing shop?
Beauty _ I heard that using a gun is bad but I feel like it just has to do with how well you keep up with the piercing. I would’ve rather have done it a body piercing place but i am under 18 and the places are to edgy for mom to go to lol💀
I got my bondom ones done and I all need six more ear piercings I want to upper cartilage piercings on both ears piercing and my dubbles done on both sides of my ear piercings
I got mine done in august, bad idea. I got a keloid. Don’t ever get piercings with a gun, except lobes, those are fine. Claire’s is not even really qualified for piercings.
It's not mean. They don't have the material or people to properly do a cartilage piercing. The girl in this video took a huge risk, because the risk of infection is higher if you get them done with a gun. Piercing guns cannot be sterilised and they're not safe for cartilage piercings because they can cause blunt trauma, which can result in cauliflower ear.
Mileven.Edits they did not sell the earring separately :/ , but the package I got was $35 which included the earrings, piercing and cleaning solution. I hope this helped you a bit, if you have anymore question you can comment again or dm me on my social media account. Thank you for watching 💗
Advice for all you wanting a helix piercing: 1. Do NOT get pierced with a gun. Go to a professional tattoo/piercing shop and get it done with a needle. 2.Clean it twice every day with saline solution (salt water) for the first 2 months and then once a day for the next 4-5 months. 3.NEVER touch your piercing. Don't twist it or play with it and when you're cleaning it use q-tips (cotton swabs) NOT cotton balls. 4.Wait 6 months to a year before changing your piercing.(That's how long it takes for it to heal.) 5.Don't sleep on it because you might get hypertrophic scars around it. (If you do get these bumps use tea tree oils to make them go away.) 6.Make sure your piercer uses a long bar so you have room for swelling. 💛~Hope my advice helped you guys~💛
Depends on you and how comfortable you feel. The person that did mine had experience and I even watched her do someone's cartilage piercing before mine. I recommend watching the piercer do some else and then decide lol.
MELANIE PADRON I just got mine done yesterday and luckily she knew exactly what she was doing but I went to the same Claire’s where my friend got hers done so ig I got lucky.
Please go to a tattoo shop and get it done. You can do your research in why piercing guns are bad, but i promise ( i got my cartilage done 2 days ago), a needle won’t hurt.
6 days in and i got a fucking infection, i also did it at claire's i think putting on my headset and gaming is what did it- so yeah don't fucking do what i did
Any one who lives in Louisiana and is scared of getting your ears or nose pierced respond to me because my uncle has numbing lotion and then he will give you a numbing shot! It won’t hurt at all!
Omg this hurts my brain, no offence buutt GUNS SHOULDNT BE USED. YOUR USING THE WRONG CARE KIT FOR UR EARS. YOU SHOULDNT NEVER GET STERLING SILVER UR FIRST TIME. Ok this hurts

I have had my cartilage pierced several times by a gun and my piercings healed up just fine.
thats all i am saying
do they hurt
Alicia Christopher they might of healed up fine but there is always a risk of shattering the cartilage and it getting infected plus getting it done with a needle isn’t even that much more money or pain sis 😭
@@613muse it was for me. I did the gun and needle, they both healed nicely but if i had to the option i would still use a gun.
How much did you pay for your cartilage piercing ?

When you went in for your cartilage at Claire’s did they do two piercings or did you have to ask for two piercings??
Kayla W you can ask for as many as you want but you can also tell them if you only want one
Appreciate the nice clean video, more people need to do that.

How do you get your makeup to be flawless
Oou girl. That mustve been hard to sleep. I only got one done at a time. It's super cute though btw.
actually, I slept good lol. I think it's because I am weird and I sleep straight up and don't turn to a side. And thank you 💗
Skskthatstheteasis lmao people usually only get one helix pierced like people don’t do both ears because it looks weird af
Tessia Fox no it doesn’t. They just do one at a time for different reasons like for sleeping, wanting to try it, or just taking it slowly.
i want to get mine down but I’m scared it’s going to hurt😭
Broooo I’m so excited to get my helix pierced I literally can’t wait
how much did it cost?
Ketzaly C. The actual piercing is free I think, but you have to pay for the earring. The price ranges from each Claire’s I think.
What state do you live in for the piercing to be so cheap?
Brianna Rosas i live in texas :)
MELANIE PADRON Oh im from los angeles and its like $30 for each ear I think
Do you know what size it is?
