I got my 2nd hole pierced at Claires. you don't pay for them doing it. All you pay for is the earring you want to buy to apply. but never again will I go to there to get it done. my ear got infected instantly. I'd suggest Kays or something in that nature to get it done.

I didn't like Claire's too much either. The piercing is "free" but the earrings you have to purchase are $50-$70.

Claire's is rubbish! I got mine done at a beauticians in a back room so no-one could see me (the ones in Claire's are right in front of the window!). Mine didn't get infected and I paid a set price (for the piercing, earring and cleaning set) which came to about 7 pounds. People I know who've gone to Claire's have had infections and all sorts.

For a cartilage piercing you are technically supposed to have the piercer use an actual needle and not a gun. I would go to an actual body piercing shop/tattoo shop.

Like Brandy S said you should go to a place that actually uses a needle. When you use a piercing gun it can cause the cartilage to collapse.

I agree with Amanda L. I got my ears pierced at piercing pagoda. They were very good!

I don't have my cartilage, but I have three holes. The first two were from Piercing Pagoda, and the third from Claire's.
My second done at Piercing Pagoda is pretty messed up. One is a lot lower than the other and it's noticeable. I just deal with it though.
I was really pleased with my third from Claire's. However, I don't think where you get it done has anything to do with it. It's WHO pierces it. But for your cartilage, I would lean towards Pagoda because I feel they'd be better with cartilages.
At both, you pay only for the cost of the earrings. And just a tip, ask them to show you where they place the marker, that way if it's not where you want it they can move it.

Go to a proper jewelry store,one that sells gold jewelry.the silver plated earrings they use for piercing are usually below $25 and you can be sure they sterilize their equipment properly.

I got mine done at claire's it looked fine and didnt hurt much. It was about 50 dollars. I hated it after a few months and let it close up though.

Claire's and the piercing pagoda told me they weren't allowed to do cartilage piercings. Piercing pagoda actually gave me a hard time when I got my third hole done because it was close to my cartilage. I ended up getting my tragus pierced at a tattoo shop (which also happened to be in the mall haha), an it turned out really well. I'd recommend a shop because they use a needle instead of a gun, and apparently guns can like shatter your cartilage.

It's a much better idea going to a professional tattoo and piercing shop for a cartilage piercing.

I agree with amanda L. I got my catlige done there on both sides and they never got infected and it was a simple processes.

I just got my cartilage pierced at Claire's last week and let me say, these past few days have been a nightmare. I've spoken with three tattoo parlors and two of them have said that in many states, Claire's can't even legally pierce cartilage because of the piercing gun they use and the earrings with such short stocks. The piercing gun they use is NOT meant for cartilage. It does not pierce the cartilage. Rather, it shoves a piece of metal through the toughest part of your ear sometimes resulting in a shattered cartilage or even blunt force trauma. Another thing, the piercing stocks used at Claire's are not long enough to compensate for the natural swelling of the cartilage and could swell up over the piercing or even embed itself in your ear, like mine is doing. If you want your cartilage pierced, go to a professional who will use a safe, sterile, and hollow needle and give you an earring with a long enough stock to compensate for swelling. Say no to Claire's!! Stay Safe!!
