[quote="aspiefeminist"]As opposed to your ear lobe, your cartilage doesn't have good blood flow and circulation. So, when your ear lobe gets infected your white blood cells can fix it a lot more easily. With cartilage, it is a lot harder for your ears to fight off the infection. Not to mention that (depending on your hair) it can easily get bacteria and oil from your hair on it.

Have you had any type of cartilage piercing before? Pain and healing from cartilage piercings are different than ear lobe piercings. I have had 3 ear cartilage piercings and my nose pierced and it is not the same as the five ear lobe piercings. Like what werewolf said, it is really hard to sleep on that side after you get it pierced. I had trouble sleeping after some of my piercings because I couldn't get comfortable without bumping into my piercings.

Also, do you have AS pain hypo/hypersensitivities?? If you are hyposensitive and don't feel pain easily then it is less of an issue. If you are hypersensitive then you might want to consider putting it off (is it really such a big deal to wait a few months?). I used to reward myself at the end of final exams with a piercing.

For scaffold, another important thing to keep in mind. Are your ears thick or thin? I went with a friend of mine and we were both going to get it done. Her ears were too thin and the guy thought they couldn't have the bar put in her ears because of it. My ear lobes and cartilage are really thick, so I had the option of getting it done (didn't because of money). It also means though that my piercings take longer and are sometimes more painful.

A lot of places when you get scaffold piercings in do the piercing and put in two earrings to start and then later you switch it out for the bar. I don't know if the place you are planning to go does that. Also, I hope you are planning to get it done with a needle and not a gun.

Good luck![/quote]
