Cartilage piercing with a gun..good or bad?

So, I got my cartilage pierced about 3 years ago. It was done with a gun. I was told that if someone pierces they cartilage with a gun it will shatter the ear and I might have to get some of my ear removed.. I don’t know if thats true. I just want to know if I’ll loose my ear or something or if anything bad is going to happen, like I said I’ve had it for 3 years and some times it gets a bubble on both sides so I just pop it with a needle… But I have no idea if I’m harming my ear, and I also don’t want to take it out!

Answer #2

The only problem with piercing with a gun is that the flesh doesn’t get pushed through the hole and out. The gun just moves it around. If youv’e had it three years I wouldn’t worry about it. The bubble is probably just hardening skin. I had mine pierced with a needle twice and it didn’t heal wither time so I gave up. Cartilage is difficult to heal but you haven’t done any long term damage
