Cartilage piercing – the trend of the 21st century: interesting facts and photos

The popularity of body piercing has grown steadily over the past decade. Currently, it is one of the ways of self-expression of young people, and not only. Many people do not want to be like others and find new and very unexpected places for piercing..

Along with the growing popularity of the piercing itself, there is an increase in the popularity of cartilage piercing on the ears. If earlier it was possible to pierce only the earlobe, then recently the puncture of the cartilage is not particularly difficult. Thus, this allows you to make not one, but several punctures in the ear at once..

But do not forget about the low quality of materials in earrings and not always qualified specialists, which often leads to various inflammations and allergic reactions. Cartilage piercing owners are especially affected by this. For such punctures, it is better to use not surgical earrings, but hypoallergenic.

It is also worth knowing that cartilage piercing will require special care, and it will take about eight months to heal. If you do not give proper care to the punctured cartilage, then a bacterial or viral infection can cause severe harm. But cartilage is very difficult to treat..

The first three days after cartilage puncture, it is recommended to wipe it twice a day with an antibacterial agent. Thereafter, cleaning is carried out once a day. Doing this more often can damage the piercing. Also, do not touch the puncture with dirty hands..

Even if it visually seems that the piercing has healed, this may not always be the case in reality. Cartilage heals for a very long time, and it is not always possible to see if it has completely healed from the outside. Also, you can not pull the earrings until the cartilage is completely healed, this can lead to inflammation..

The piercing itself is made with a large hollow piercing needle..

Such a procedure is not performed with a pistol, since it can disrupt the structure of the cartilage and cause injury. Earrings should be of surgical stainless steel, titanium or niobium. At the same time, gold and silver earrings are not recommended for this type of piercing..

After the puncture has completely healed, the material of the earring does not really matter. True, there are people who still have a special sensitivity to this or that metal. Many of them may have an allergic reaction, which leads to negative consequences..
