I had mine done about 3 weeks ago and Ive noticed that the ear that has the barbell in is hard compared to my other ear... is this normal?
That's the initial swelling. It will take a little time to heal. Be sure to dab it with a cleansing solution a few times a day.
yes, that is normal for the cartilage to be hard for a while. Cartilage takes FOREVER to heal. Just clean it regularly with soap and then use sea salt to try to help speed the healing process. It's probably sore, too! Try not to sleep on that ear because it can get irritated.
