I highly recommend Skincraft which is down on Hamilton Ave. I've had piercings done there and was completely satisfied with them. My piercer even took the time to check out a couple of old piercings I was having some trouble with. I've also had a couple of piercings done at Beelistic in Clifton, it's also well known to be a good piercing place.
All professional body piercing studios can provide full ear cartilage piercing services. Find them listed in your yellow pages directory under body piercing.
There are many places in GA I get piercings at. Where exactly I'm not sure because I don't know where in GA you are located, but you could find somewhere of you type in google where you live then cartilage piercing. Hope this helps! :)
Most places charge the cost of the piercing studs themselves. If getting only one piercing, its half the price plus a $2 separating charge. For cartilage piercings places such as Piercing Pagoda tend to charge an addition $2 cartilage charge Cartilage piercing is not permitted to be done with piercing guns in North America under most health regulations due to the inability of the stud to create a proper hole in the tissue and cartilage to allow the skin to heal the piercing in a timely fashion. Body piercing studios will charge more for ear cartilage piercings, however the added expense is well worth it in the end.
Yes you can, however this can not be done with a piercing gun. This needs to be done by a professional body piercer in a licensed peircing facility. Piercing guns are not intended to nor are they designed to pierce ear cartilage, infact in most places it is illegal ( by local health regulations ) for anyone to use the piercing gun to pierce anything other than the lower ear lobe. The piercing stud will actually "break" the ear cartilage in stead of cut it like a piercing needle would, this breaking can lead to various forms of disfigurement of the ear cartilage requiring the services of a plastic surgeon to repair. Any location using a piercing gun to pierce upper ear cartilage is doing so in violation with most health regulations and the manufacturers instruction. Doing it doesn't make it right or legal.
Well if they do ear piercing then they may be dumb enough to pierce the cartilage too. Listen you need to understand what you are not being told by these places when you want a piercing. They are not telling you they have no health inspection to do any form of ear piercing, nor do they have any form of business license to do ear piercing. You pay your money and really take your chances, seriously. Every year hospital emergency rooms and doctor's clinics see more piercing gun mistakes, piercings done incorrectly, with unclean materials, incorrect aftercare routines I could go on. If you want ear cartilage piercings done correctly and professionally then go to any local body piercing studio and talk to a body piercer. They are licensed and inspected to provide the service in a safe and professional manner and will help you if your run in to trouble.
Most places start at 13 with a parent/guardian but every shop is different so your best bet is to call and ask :)
As with any professional body piercing, prices can vary from studio to studio and city to city. Your best bet is to call the local shops in your area a do a little price shopping, but be sure you ask about the piercer's experience and training as well as spore tests, health inspections and age requirements. Do your home work before you buy, and don't base it solely on price, good piercings are not cheap and cheap piercings are never good. Check your local phone book under Body Piercing
Well I haven't heard of any jobs you can't get with your cartilage pierced. Piercings and employment is a hit or miss thing, some places don't have any problems with piercing and others do. So I guess it will be up to you to go out and find out who's hiring people with piercings and who won't and has issues with piercings. It is less about having a piercing then what you have in the piercing. If you don't wear anything in it at work, they aren't even going to know. Some places don't like them for sanitation reasons, others the image it give customers.
They probably can but don't. They use piercing guns which are HORRIBLE especially for cartilage piercings. It can shatter your cartilage because of the pressure. Not to mention how disgusting they are. The only way to clean them is to wipe them down which means that the insides are filled with sweat, blood, skin, dirt and anything else that happens to get in there. You're more likely to get infections from guns and places that use guns are known fro having low quality jewelery that breaksdown in your ears.Just do some research on your own and you'll see why you should never ever get anything pierced with a gun.
I have always trusted Claire's the most, but it really depends on who is piercing your ear. Ask friends who have got their ears pierced at those places and compare the two.
