Cartilage piercing -- stud vs. hoop?

From personal experience, I got a stud to start off with. You can always change after 6-8 weeks, but just to start, try getting a stud. If you have long hair, tie it back after you pierce it cuz you could cause infections.

Another quick suggestion AVOID ALCOHOL TO CLEAN YOUR PIERCING! Apparently, alcohol isn't good for piercings. The person who pierced my cartilidge and my nose told it it's better to use something more organic.

If you can, try looking for a product called Dragon Mist. It's reasonably priced, it's pretty much an all purpose anticeptic, and it doesn't sting! :) It works for tattoos, and if you cut yourself or something, its good to clean your wounds and stuff like that.

Stud, its much more comfortable than a hoop.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
