Day:1 (yesterday)
Yesterday I got my cartilage pierced! :D! You may have heard stories of people getting their cartilage pierced, and they were probably about how you can hear your ear crack when they pierce it, or that it is way more painful than getting your earlobe pierced and that you can't sleep at night because of the pain. . . well guess what- NONE of that is true!! Surprise right??
Reasons Why The Stories Arn't True:
- If it did hurt more, it was probably because you thought about it too long and your nerves caught up with you.
- It may seem painful to sleep on, but if you find a comfortable spot (ex: having your ear between two pillows) it won't hurt as bad, and you will probably be able to sleep! :)
- Any other stories are probably also made up or over exaggerated too, because to tell the truth the only difference between a cartilage piercing and a earlobe piercing is that you have to be more CAREFUL with your cartilage piercing. . .
Day:2 (today)
At school today my earring gave me no problems (accept my hair getting caught in it every once and a while; but that was just because I was having a bad hair day). If you ever do bump your piercing and it hurts: try running it under cold water, unless you have your ear cleaner, the cold temperature feels soothing when your ear hurts, and can make the pain go away!!
