the piercing i want is the double cartilage. people call them different things, but the most common (i guess) is scaffold. my uncle said that after its in your ear a long time the weight from the bar weighs down your ear and the cartilage gets weak and kinda is like bent. has this happend to anyone? or is he lying? cam it happen?
im think' in it can happen
hmm i havent heard that i am getting one but it heals faster with 2 separate rings thats what im doing
i got mine a month and three days ago its not that bad at all. people tried to scare me out of it saying that same thing and don't worry it wont happen. besides if you get really scared this might happen every couple weeks just put in two separate bars. oh yea and clean it with alcohol it makes it heal faster. mine is already done healing and with the spray they give you it could take up to a year
The barbell is very light and hollow, so I doubt that'll happen. Perhaps in rare cases where the piercing has already damaged the cartilage somehow. Cartilage is strong enough to hold up an industrial barbell. Your uncle might be trying to scare you if he doesn't approve of you getting an industrial, but don't ignore him completely since he's just trying to watch out for you.
