How involved are the steps for doing a cartilage piercing?

The process of piercing cartilage is generally quick and uncomplicated, unlike the healing process of this type of piercing. First, the instruments and area around where the piercing will be need to be cleaned thoroughly. Next, a trained professional will pierce your ear with a hollow needle, using marks to ensure the piercing isn't crooked. Once the needle is through both layers of skin and the cartilage, the jewelry should be inserted into the hollow needle and pulled through the fresh piercing with the needle.
