Cartilage earrings offer the best style statements in the world of fashion. Cartilage earrings is a broad term used for a piece of earring worn anywhere else other than the lobe. Cartilage piercings are difficult to heal and are more painful than usual lobe piercings.
Usually, there are differences between cartilage piercings and lobe piercings. A thinner gauge bar is used to make the ear piercings than the ones used for lobe piercings.
Cartilage piercings are also done differently from regular ear lobe piercings. Mostly cartilage piercings must be done with a needle instead of a piercing gun. A piercing gun will shoot an earring using force through the cartilage, and the resistance it offers in return causes trauma to the surrounding cartilage.
A hollow needle is used to puncture the cartilage, and then a cartilage earring of your choice is inserted inside. A cartilage piercing almost takes three months to heal, and any form of trauma can make it longer.
There are different positions of cartilage piercings, and if you are planning to go for cartilage piercings, you must learn about your favorable positions. And you get more ideas at Live Enhanced.
