Go see an actual piercer to have them check it out. Guns use a lot of pressure and can cause a lot of bruising and unnecessary trauma so it'll hurt longer than if you had gotten it done with a needle. Using a gun on cartilage is a terrible idea because you could have shattered the cartilage and disfigured your ear. Chances are that the stud is too short to allow for swelling so go to a piercer and have them give you proper jewelry and check the area for infection. Definitely dont use a gun for any other piercings ever again.

All piercing shrink down once the piercing is fully healed and the jewellery is removed, yes the hole is pretty much permanent.

It typically takes 8-12 weeks for a cartilage piercing to heal. But you should never go more than a few hours without any type of jewelry, those piercings typically close pretty fast.
Can a nose piercing cause a runny of blocked nose?
im not surre about that but im pretty sure you can get a huge infection! :(
What is does piercing your ear cartilage means?
No, it means that you have a cartilage piercing. All meaning has been lost by pop culture. It may have a great meaning to you, but to everyone else it shouldn't mean anything more than the obvious.
Where can you get earrings for your cartilage?
Tattoo/piercing parlours have the best quality however, if you can wear anything they can be bought pretty much from any vendor(s) that may be at local malls or shops.
What piercing hurts more. A tragus rook or snug?
Well considering the tight quarters you have the piercer working in, they can be uncomfortable but not unbearable. We are of course talking about having it done correctly by a professional body piercer and not some joker with a piercing gun. All cartilage is over pierced (or should be) which is to say the piercing is done with a needle one size bigger than the jewellery entering the piercing. this is so the cartilage will allow the skin to heal around the newly formed piercing between the cartilage and the jewellery going into the piercing. So sort term localized minor bleeding should be expected. Other than that it's pretty straight forward from a piercers prospective and therefore easy for you to handle. Yes I read your notes! Cheers.
Will a nose piercing get infected if you have a cold?
If its already healed, it might get a little angry/irritated but not infected. If its still pretty new, a cold will increase the chance of infection because your immune system will be compromised since its fighting the cold and trying to heal the piercing. As long as you keep cleaning the piercing properly and don't touch it, you should be fine. Theres still a risk of infection though :)
What kinda of needle is used for nose piercings?
Wikianswers in not a venue to provide how to information that can lead to serious personal injury.Its pretty much illegal everywhere to use a piercing gun for piercings like that, even cartilage in some states- because it causes severe trauma to the tissue which makes the piercing more open to infection.
How long does it take for someone to pierce your cartilage?
For the actual piercing, about a second. Needles go through pretty quickly. Of course, they'll have to mark the spot where you want it, and maybe put on clamps. Cartilage piercings don't take long to mark out compared to daiths or rooks. The jewelery switch doesn't take long either.
How do you hide cheek piercings?
You could use a band-aid to cover it, and say you got a scratch. Or, you could replace the current piercing with a clear piercing. Those are pretty hard to catch unless you're looking. I wouldn't suggest using coverup though, as that may cause an infection.
Will glasses hide a bridge piercing?
Nope! not many things will, it's a pretty awkward piercing to hide.
Is it bad to get a tongue piercing after you got your wisdom teeth pulled just one week ago?
You should probably wait another week or so. You have gaps in your gums where your wisdom teeth were, and those gaps are highly susceptible to infection at first. If you were to get an infection there, it would be very painful and could cause further problems. Getting your tongue piercing exposes your mouth to new issues. The actual piercing could infect it - it can get pretty germ-y in your mouth. Also, you'll be in pain from the piercing, at least for the first few days - are you up to that so soon?
